This collection comes from the Movie Cars Central Museum, which showcases pop culture memorabilia, located 45 minutes from Paris and run by Franck Galiègue.

Bonhams|Cars will be exhibiting the original 1999 Peugeot 406 V6 from the film Taxi 2 at the Salon Époqu’Auto in Lyon November 7-9 on Stand U4 (Hall 4, Door 4.34).

As cinema knows no boundaries, we are looking forward to truly global interest. Most of these cars are authentic pieces of cinema and modern automotive history. With no reserve price, we hope that the sale of this collection will be a real box office success."

Franck Galiègue added: "This museum has been an incredible adventure, but the time has come to move on to new automotive projects. I have spent many years collecting these cars and have had the pleasure of sharing them with enthusiasts from all over Europe. Now it is time to pass them on to film lovers who will take up the baton and continue to keep these witnesses to mechanical and cinematic history alive. I am excited to move forward with new projects in the future."
