For the sixth year running, auction house Bonhams is to hold a sale at the Grand Palais museum and exhibition centre in Paris. Scheduled for Thursday, the auction sees a selection of exceptional classic cars and motorbikes go under the hammer, several of which could fetch over a million euros.

It's no surprise that it's the sleek, sporty Italian racers and power-packed German motors that are likely to fetch the most at the upcoming auction. Bonhams' highest valuation for the sale is for a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Berlinetta (€2.5-3.5 million or approx. $2.7-3.8 million), followed by a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Coupé from the year 2000 (€1.8-2 million or approx. $2-2.2 million), a 1990 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta (€950,000 to €1.1 million or approx. $1-1.2 million), a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider with hardtop (€900,000 to €1.3 million or approx. $980,000 to $1.4 million), a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT (€800,000 to €1 million or approx. $870,000 to $1.1 million ) and a 1937 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B Berlinette (€750,000 to €1.1 million or approx. $810,000 to $1.2 million).

Next in line comes a 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ2 Coda Tronca Coupé (€600,000 to €800.000 or approx. $650,000 to $870,000), then a 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Coupé (€450,000 to €650,000 or approx. $487,000 to $704,000), a 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ Berlinette Coda Ronda (€450,000 to €650,000 or approx. $490,000 to $700,000) and a 2002 Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina (€450,000 to €550,000 or approx. $490,000 to $600,000).
