Around 350 lots are expected to go under the hammer at the auction at the JCB Arena and it is expected to net more than €2.44 million (£2 million). The auction is also expected to attract on-line bidders from the Middle East, Australia, North America, Africa and Russia in addition to several hundred bidders who attend in person.
