Broad Arrow Auctions, Monterey, August 14-15, 2024

Broad Arrow, backed by Hagerty, has now become an entrenched feature at Monterey. In their three-year history they have put up consistent and impressive numbers. Their sell-through rate this year was second only to RM Sotheby’s and the total dollars changing hands were third behind RM and Gooding, a credible performance after a hard-earned scramble up a very steep slope in the most demanding collector car market of the year.

Here we describe 43 of the 156 lots offered, 27.6% of the docket.

The total dollars may have been even better but for the fact that eight of the lots were passed on the block, then reported sold post-block but at undisclosed final prices. Of these four were bid on the block to $1 million or more, but without confirmation they are reported here as if they sold at the observed no-sale high bid plus adding the regular Buyer’s Premium to arrive at a final price.

Five other lots were closed post-block but Broad Arrow reported the final all-in prices.

To be fair, Broad Arrow was not alone in claiming undisclosed prices on some sold lots, but their eight were the most of the five Monterey auctions.

26 lots were bid to $1 million or more; 19 of them sold bringing a total of $43,372,501 including the imputed all-in prices of “undisclosed” amount post-block sales. That was 58.1% of Broad Arrow’s sale total with a $7,045,000 Porsche 911 GT1 Rennversion at the head of the list.

Here are the numbers:

Year	Cars Sold/ Offered	Sale %	Sold < Low Est	Sold > High Est	Average Sale	Median Sale	Total $
2024	132/156	84.6%	71.2%	8.3%	$565,784	$190,400 [33.7%]	$74,683,511
2023	135/169	79.9%	58%	7.7%	$568,185	$196,000 [34.5%]	$76,704,940
2022	80/90	88.9%	42.5%	23.8%	$729,374	$390,000 [53.5%]	$58,349,900

Lot # 114 1998 RUF Turbo R Limited Coupe; S/N W09BD0360WPR06036; Irish Green/Black leather and Alcantara; Estimate $1,500,000 – $2,000,000; Unrestored original 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $1,550,000 plus commission of 10.32%; Final Price $1,710,000. – 3.6/625hp, 6-speed, red calipers, cross-drilled rotors, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, carbon fiber interior trim, carbon seats, carbon door panels, leather-wrapped roll cage. – Represented as one of seven in existence. Showing just 3,132 miles. There is a small chip at the back of the nose and the wheels could stand a detailing, but otherwise this car looks stupendous. – Sold by RM at Monterey in 2018 with just 240 miles, today it has added 2,892 bringing the odometer to 3,132 miles. That’s 482 miles per year, fairly remarkable for an all-out and rare Porsche-based carbon fiber body supercar that usually spends its time cossetted in a collection closet. Despite the odometer reading this impressive price proves the enduring appeal of these meticulously crafted specialist automobiles.

Lot # 118 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello Coupe; S/N ZFFZR49A6X0114824; Grigio Ingrid/Bordeaux leather with Crema piping; Estimate $225,000 – $275,000; Unrestored original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $240,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $268,800. – 5474/485hp, 6-speed, Pirelli P Zero tires, Daytona-style seats, Kenwood CD. – Rare, interesting colors I’ve never seen before on a 550. Represented with a clean CARFAX and a belt service done last month. Showing 15,167 believable miles. There are some chips on the nose as well as a small blemish on the right front fender, plus a few scratches and scuffs on the wheels. The edge of the driver’s side door has some dings also. The seats show light wear and so do the switches, though they aren’t the “sticky switches” endemic to Ferraris of this era. The low miles and the colors make this car interesting, but this Ferrari hasn’t led a perfectly pampered life. – Color trumped condition here, as this price is normally what a babied low-mile 550 finished in, say, Rosso Corsa over black would expect to sell for. With the fresh belt service it is ready to make a statement and be enjoyed.

Lot # 120 1987 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole Coupe; S/N ZA9CA05PXHLA12204; White/White leather; Estimate $650,000 – $800,000; Visually maintained, largely original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $725,000 plus commission of 10.69%; Final Price $802,500. – 5,167/420hp, 5-speed, white Route O.Z. wheels, Pirelli P Zero tires, wing, power windows, air conditioning, Alpine cassette, Alpine car phone. – Represented as one of 66 fuel injected North American market cars. Polo Storico certificate. Class winner at Amelia this year. Showing 9,639 believable km (5,989 miles) on but also got a $140,000 mechanical refurb in 2021-22. There are some scratches on the mirrors and paint cracks on the engine cover, but the exterior is mostly gorgeous. The engine, hoses and wires look new. The interior looks similarly fresh. Absolutely gorgeous, with only a couple of small details aside. – Few things scream ’80s excess more than a white-on-white Countach. The colors and the condition here resonated with bidders more than for most cars at this sale, and Lamborghinis in general outperformed most other cars in Monterey this year with many sold at the high end or beyond their estimate ranges and price guide values. This is another example, and it brought even more than the $704,000 it sold for on Bring a Trailer nearly a year ago.

Lot # 121 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Roadster; S/N WP0CA2A18FS800264; Meteor Grey/Black and Silver; Estimate $2,400,000 – $2,700,000; Unrestored original 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $2,250,000 plus commission of 10.22%; Final Price $2,480,000. – 4,593/887hp hybrid, front axle lift, striped seatbelts, full PPF, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. – Represented with 2,200 miles and a recent service, including new tires, in May of this year. No real flaws on this hybrid hypercar. – The Weissach package takes about 100 pounds out of a 918, but it adds several hundred thousand dollars to the price these days. Even so, this was a surprisingly strong result for a model that has mostly brought mediocre results at auction most of this year.

Lot # 127 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV Coupe; S/N 5048; Silver, Matte Silver sills/Blue leather; Estimate $2,800,000 – $3,500,000; Older restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $2,450,000 plus commission of 10.20%; Final Price $2,700,000. – 3,929/385hp, 5-speed, split sump, Campagnolo wheels, Pirelli Cinturato tires, power windows, factory air conditioning. – Genuine SV. One of 150 built and just 96 split-sump cars. Represented as matching numbers engine. Caught fire in London in 2013 and was extensively damaged, then it received a restoration in Italy overseen by Lamborghini test driver Valentino Balboni. Silver was an odd color choice but the paint looks very good, as does the interior. There are some dings in the side intakes located near the bottom of the car, though. – This Miura was yellow when it famously caught fire and was caught on video doing so. It would have been worth less than a million dollars then, but the Miura market is an entirely different animal from what it was 11 years ago. Top-spec SV models can be worth in the high-$3M or over-$4M range. It sold at Gooding’s Pebble Beach auction in 2012 after being unfried for $1,375,000. Given this one’s history and color change, the lower result here makes sense and demonstrates that a thoroughly repaired catastrophe becomes forgotten over time.

Lot # 133 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago Coupe; S/N ZHWBU16M33LA00651; Giallo Orion/Nero Perseus and Giallo Taurus leather; Estimate $325,000 – $375,000; Unrestored original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $292,500 plus commission of 11.71%; Final Price $326,750. – 6,192cc/575hp, 6-speed manual, Speedline Corse wheels. – One owner from new. Recent engine out service and new clutch. Small chip behind the driver’s door. Odd discoloration on the tops of both headlight doors. Very good, lightly worn interior. Represented with a relatively high 44,143 miles. Great colors and the all-important 6-speed. – A huge result for the mileage and condition, but Murcielagos and indeed Lamborghinis in general were one of the few visibly strong segments in Monterey this year.

Lot # 140 1998 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster; S/N ZA9RE31A0WLA12848; Blu Scuro/Bianco leather; Estimate $425,000 – $475,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $400,000 plus commission of 11.25%; Final Price $445,000. – 5,707/529hp, 5-speed, black center modular O.Z. Racing wheels, Pirelli O Zero tires, climate control, Alpine CD stereo, tools, jack, clean CarFax. – Represented as one of 43 “interim” cars with the variable valve timing engine but the styling of a Series I Diablo. Showing 5,114 miles. There are tiny but numerous rock chips on the nose, some small scratches on the removable roof and bit of paint coming off the rear grille, but it’s all minor stuff and this Blu Scuro paint is striking. Both seats show some wrinkling, but the interior mostly looks great. An appropriately outrageous Lamborghini in good enough condition and a very desirable configuration. – It is somewhat amazing that a quarter-century after it was built the Lamborghini Diablo continues to inspire desire and bring remarkable prices. A mark of its innate appeal and dramatic design, not to mention ingratiating performance, that kids who had it on their dorm room walls still want to experience, and are willing to pay for, the Diablo image continue to pony up mid six-figure money… and that Diablos like this still exist in almost pristine condition.

Lot # 144 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo 930 Targa; S/N WP0EB0932KS060091; Guards Red/Cashmere Beige piped in Red; Estimate $525,000 – $575,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $500,000 plus commission of 11.00%; Final Price $555,000. – 3,299/282hp, 5-speed, black Fuchs wheels, side intakes, power windows, air conditioning, Alpine cassette, boost gauge, root wood dash trim, center console, sport seats, short shifter, books, tool kit, air pump, Porsche CoA documented. – Showing 7,949 miles. Represented as one of just eight sold in the U.S. market and as matching numbers. The original paint is showing age but no big flaws. Clean wheels and tires. Very light wrinkling to the seats and wear to the shifter but mostly gorgeous. As 930s go, this is about as rare a configuration as you’ll find, and it has barely been driven. There are three red 930 slantnoses here at Broad Arrow, but this one is the most valuable. – The 1989 model year was the last for the 930, and the only year when Porsche’s G50 5-speed did the shifting instead of the old 4-speed. The Targa body style was also only available on the 930 for the model’s last three years, and a genuine factory slantnose is a rare find. Clearly, then, this car ticks a lot of boxes. In fact it’s so nice that it broke a record twice. It sold for a record $511,000 at RM Scottsdale two years ago. Nobody paid more for a 930 slantnose Targa until it sold again here in Monterey. It is expensive, but no one ever said exclusivity comes cheap.

Lot # 147 2003 Ferrari Enzo Berlinetta; S/N ZFFCW56A530133030; Rosso Corsa/Black leather; Estimate $4,500,000 – $5,000,000; Unrestored original 2 condition; With Reserve; Reported sold but not confirmed $4,000,000. – 5,999/660hp, 6-speed automanual, climate control, SF shields, tool kit, manuals, car cover, etc., Ferrari Classiche Red Book certified, – 4,333 miles, three owners, U.S, delivered. Like new and serviced four months ago with new tires. – Reported sold post-block at an undisclosed price. This amount is the high bid on the block plus commission.

Lot # 149 1991 Koenig-Specials C 62 Coupe; S/N W09C62214MMK23001; Red/Black; Estimate $650,000 – $850,000; Visually maintained, largely original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $470,000 plus commission of 11.06%; Final Price $522,000. – 3.4/550hp twin-turbo six, 5-speed, aluminum monocoque, carbon-Kevlar body, TechArt leather interior. – Represented with 2,600 km (1616 miles) and as one of three built. Sold for over $1M when it was new. Shows a lot of chips and scrapes on the front lip, inevitable given how low it is. Big crack in the right door. A few blemishes on the wheels and generally aged paint. – Koenig Specials GmbH is mostly known for tuning and fitting wild 1980s body kits to Ferraris, Mercedes-Benzes, and even Jaguar XJ-Ss. This Group C Porsche for the road, though, was probably their most ambitious project. Not quite a 962 race car defanged for the street, it uses a slightly tamer 911 Turbo-based engine, new body panels with higher fenders and headlights, different suspension and air conditioning. It cost about $1M to buy one of these hardcore street machines new, and though Koenig planned to build 30 copies, they completed just three. This one was for sale through a dealer a couple of years ago for $995K. Given that, the rarity, the speed, the price when it was new and the awesome interior, it seems like a great value at $522K. Now, what to do with it… its performance will not frighten a McLaren, although its appearance might.

Lot # 151 1990 Ferrari F40 Berlinetta, Body by Pininfarina-Scaglietti; S/N ZFFMN34A4L0087219; Rosso Corsa/Red cloth; Estimate $2,600,000 – $2,800,000; Unrestored original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $2,200,000 plus commission of 10.23%; Final Price $2,425,000. – 2,936/478hp, twin turbo V-8, 5-speed, air conditioning, SF shields, Pirelli tires, centerlock modular alloy wheels, Schedoni luggage, tools, manuals, wheel nut wrench, Assembly number 04227. – Belt serviced August 2023. Ferrari Classiche certified, 2018 Cavallino Classic Platinum. Worn and wrinkled original upholstery. Excellent original paint. Good engine compartment showing some age and 8,060 miles. – A pristine F40 is worth a million dollars more than this result and that is a lot of consequences for indifferent care even if the expensive technical items have been attended to. The result here is appropriate to this F40’s condition and mileage. In an auction week with the best cars in the world, mostly presented in nearly pristine condition, this F40 doesn’t measure up and both Broad Arrow in setting the estimate range and the bidders in not meeting it recognized the difference.

Lot # 152 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec Coupe; S/N BNR34002082; Midnight Purple II/Gray; Estimate $200,000 – $250,000; Visually maintained, largely original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $190,000. – RHD. 2,568/276hp twin turbo six, 6-speed, Dunlop tires, power windows, air conditioning. – One of 282 finished in this ultra-sexy color. Represented with 109,851 km (68,258 miles). One owner until earlier this year. Serviced upon import this year including timing belt. The paint shows age but really is striking, it shifts to green depending on how the light hits it. Headlight lenses are lightly faded. Good interior with a couple of lightly faded buttons. A high spec R34 in the most desirable color. For people who like GT-Rs, this one is a big deal. – The condition is imperfect but the color is highly desirable among GT-R freaks and Broad Arrow’s $200K low estimate was reasonable. Another bid or two should have been enough to take this car. The lack of interest suggests, however, that U.S. imports of JDM Skylines are overwhelming the market for them, even in such impressive colors and specifications.

Lot # 155 1969 Ferrari 365 GT California Spider “Revival”; S/N 11943; Engine # 11943; Black Metallic/Red leather; Black cloth top; Estimate $2,500,000 – $3,500,000; Rebodied or re-created 2 condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $2,300,000. – 3,967/350hp, 5-speed, aluminum calipers, covered headlights, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Marchal headlights and grille mounted fog lights, Bose sound system. – A “revival” based on a 365 GT 2+2 chassis. Built by GTO Engineering including the reproduction bodywork which, as expected from an experienced Ferrari restoration shop, looks like the 250 GT Cal Spider it wants to be. Excellent paint, chrome and upholstery, clean, fresh engine compartment. Not real but really nice and freshly done with just 13 miles showing on the odometer. – A beautiful car and undeniably a Ferrari, this is what a real 250 GT Cal Spider could be after giving it to GTO Engineering with a check for $2 million, but at least that Cal Spider would be worth $13 million. Would you like to ‘splain spending $2.5 million for a Cal Spider that isn’t what it appears to be, no matter how masterfully it is rendered and how fast it is with a rigorously prepared 4-litre 350hp Ferrari V-12? Which class does it go in at FCA events? Would it even get an invitation to Cavallino Classic? Ferris Bueller would be impressed, but how many others would care?

Lot # 163 1973 Porsche 911T Coupe; S/N 9113102789; Aubergine/Black vinyl; Estimate $85,000 – $105,000; Visually maintained, largely original 3- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $76,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $85,120. – 2,341/130hp, 5-speed, Fuchs wheels, Pirelli P4000 tires, air conditioning, no radio. – Represented as the original engine. Recently serviced and detailed. The repaint on the nose is blistered and chipped. Wheels are aged, and there is a small dent on the driver’s door. Lots of scratches and crazing on the tail and engine cover and the whole driver’s side of the car. Lovely original upholstery, while the dash and gauges show light fading. Tidy, but used and unrestored engine. A largely unrestored long hood 911 in a rare, attractive color. – The “T” was the base model 911 during this period, but this car’s preservation and its rare, attractive color (which excites Porsche people more than any other group) was enough to boost it to a mild premium over an otherwise average driver-quality ’73 911 T, but still an expensive example for its condition even with A/C.

Lot # 203 1954 Austin-Healey 100/4 Roadster; S/N BN1L150976; Red/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Estimate $75,000 – $100,000; Recent restoration 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $57,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $63,840. – 2,660/90hp, 3-speed, overdrive, woodrim steering wheel, Brantz rally timer, black wire wheels, Pirelli tires, fog lights, hood strap, no bumpers, BMIHT documented. – Sound older repaint. Good interior, clear gauges. The paint is cracking under the left outside mirror base, and chipped behind the driver’s door. Clearcoat could be color sanded better at panel edges. Excellent, dry engine compartment. New tires. Good chrome. Represented as the original engine and body. – Given the 100S or 100M external treatment without bumpers and with a leather hood strap and competition number meatballs, this is an enjoyable, fully detailed and desirably equipped 100/4 that brought an appropriate price for its condition and giving no credibility at all to the inflated pre-sale estimate.

Lot # 205 1975 BMW 2002 2-Dr. Sedan; S/N 2366376; Fjord Metallic/Dark Blue vinyl; Estimate $35,000 – $45,000; Recent restoration 2+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $70,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $78,400. – 1,990/100hp, 4-speed,13-inch alloy wheels, Michelin tires, manuals, tools, jack, spare, set of steel wheels with tires. – Very good clearcoat paint, chipguarded nose. Good upholstery. Clean, orderly engine compartment and chassis. Restored like new. – This is the base 2002, mostly overlooked in favor of the 125hp 2002tii, but still a marvelous little car and in this case marvelously restored to better than new condition. The pre-sale estimate is frighteningly conservative but the final result is full price for the car’s condition.

Lot # 206 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Mk I Convertible; S/N B9470148LRXFE; Forest Green/Black vinyl; Black vinyl top; Estimate $70,000 – $90,000; Older restoration 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $39,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $43,680. – 260/164hp, 4-speed, black center alloy wheels, Road Hugger tires. – Sound repaint with overspray in the wheel wells. Good upholstery and top. Bright major chrome, pitted door handles and gas cap, front bumper sags. Uneven hood fit. – The first Tigers were 2-barrel 164hp 260 Ford V-8 powered although most of them seem to have grown into a 4-barrel and acquired all sort of “LA Tiger” accessories. This one has only a set of alloy wheels to set it apart from standard Tigers and is reasonably well done and presented although indicia of superficial restoration and assembly are plentiful and noticeable. One thing that is especially annoying are pitted door handles, one of the last things to go on the car as its restoration is completed and often overlooked during preparation. It shows carelessness and lack of attention, like, “Oh, damn, we forgot to get these replated, but we’re almost done so just install them and hope no one notices.” Well, everyone notices when they go to open the door and get in and it shows the restorer really didn’t care. It will take another restoration to make this Tiger worth the pre-sale estimate. For now, just drive it (and get new door handles.)

Lot # 207 1951 Morgan Plus Four Drophead Coupe; S/N P2216; Engine # V105ME; Oxford Blue/Black leather; Black cloth top; Estimate $80,000 – $100,000; Older restoration 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $40,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $44,800. – RHD. 2,088/68hp, 4-speed, 4-spoke banjo steering wheel, dual rear-mounted spares, steel wheels, Lucas headlights, fog light and Raydyot spotlight, no bumpers, Koni shocks. – Good paint and chrome. Lightly stretched upholstery. Orderly older restored chassis. The car card states it has “a correct type 2,088 cc” engine, the Triumph Vanguard that was standard for this model. Pleasingly clean and restored engine compartment. Described as having the most extensive racing history of any [Morgan] Drophead Coupe with appearances at Prescott Hill, Shelsley Walsh, Exeter Trial, Lands End Trial and at Silverstone. Long term restoration completed in 2005 including a new frame. Well-documented. – Based upon the pre-sale estimate range this might appear to be wicked cheap but it is in fact a realistic price for a flat radiator Morgan Plus Four drophead, a family-friendly weekend driver but not particularly exciting with 68hp.

Lot # 214 2005 Porsche Carrera GT Coupe; S/N WP0CA29875L001120; GT Silver/Ascot Brown leather; Estimate $1,100,000 – $1,300,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $1,075,000 plus commission of 10.47%; Final Price $1,187,500. – 5,733/605hp, 6-speed, luggage, yellow calipers. – Represented with a rather high (for a Carrera GT) 23,643 miles, and shows a surprising (again, for a Carrera GT) number of chips, scuffs and scratches on the nose and hood. The seat bottoms are also a little flat, the steering wheel is a little worn, and the leather-covered console shows rubbing in several spots. A used car by the standards of these analog hypercars and finished in unremarkable colors, but any Carrera GT is desirable. – Carrera GTs were one of the biggest winners of the pandemic boom. From the beginning of 2020 to their peak in the middle of 2022, they had more than doubled in value. Record prices were achieved on what seemed like a monthly basis. Now, they appear to be softening. In 2023 and early 2024 many low-mile condition #2 examples (which is most of them) were selling in the $1M range or more. In recent months, though, Carrera GTs have been selling for lower numbers, including this one. The only big recent exception was Mecum’s 2,000-mile Carrera GT which sold during Monterey for $1.575M. It is difficult to justify a $1MM price for a Carrera GT when much less than that will buy a new McLaren or Ferrari with better performance.

Lot # 216 1972 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spider, Body by Pininfarina-Scaglietti; S/N 15369; Engine # B1538; Giallo Fly/Black leather; Black cloth top; Estimate $2,400,000 – $2,700,000; Cosmetic restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Reported sold but not confirmed $2,100,000. – 4,390/352hp V-12, 5-speed, chrome spoke Borrani wire wheels, Michelin X tires, power windows, Veglia air conditioning, Blaupunkt multiband radio, painted nose panel, popup headlights, owner’s manual, parts book, tool kit. – Toasted in 1994 when it was rear-ended and the ruptured fuel tank caught fire. Subsequently repaired with factory-sourced body panels. Very good older paint, interior and chrome. Old undercoat in wheelwells. Clean orderly engine compartment. Ferrari Classiche certified and represented with its original engine. – Sold at Brooks Quail Lodge auction in 1999 for $354,500, in more recent history it was offered by RM at Amelia in 2016 where it was bid to $2.1 million without selling. Reported sold here at an undisclosed price after the auction, this result is the observed high bid on the block plus the auction’s Buyer’s Premium. A catastrophic history fades after years and exceptional restoration and resurrection.

Lot # 219 1999 Mercedes-Benz G500 Classic Cabriolet; S/N WDB4632061X118986; Almandine Black Metallic/Black and Purple leather; Estimate $275,000 – $325,000; Unrestored original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Reported sold but not confirmed $225,000. – 5.0L V8, automatic, AMG wheels, Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires. – Represented with 48,000 km (29,826 miles) and with over $17,000 in recent maintenance. Light chips on the nose, hood, and mirrors. The front bumper guard is lightly scratched. Lightly worn interior with some faded switchgear, but the leather is in good shape and the whole thing still has that Crayola smell of Benzes from this era. Definitely used, but the colors are awesome and the configuration is rare. – It doesn’t do more than a cheap old Jeep Wrangler won’t do, but a G-Wagen Cabriolet, especially in wild colors, is a rolling status symbol even in this visibly used condition. To someone who doesn’t follow or care about these things this price makes very little sense, but it is comparable to what others sell for. This G500 failed on the block but was shown as a post-block sale at an undisclosed price on Broad Arrow’s website. These numbers are based upon the observed hammer bid with the regular Buyer’s Commission added.

Lot # 221 2010 Morgan Aero Supersports Targa; S/N SA9FASSA8BE004102; Luna Grey Metallic, Silver Steel roof/Tan leather; Estimate $180,000 – $220,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $235,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $263,200. – 4,766/362hp BMW V8, automatic, AP Racing brakes, Michelin tires, side exhaust, Pioneer stereo, power windows, air conditioning. – Represented as one of 200 built, and there are very few in the U.S. Represented with 1,070 miles. The chromed headlight bezel on the right side is blistering, and some paint is coming off the Morgan badge on the nose. The brakes show some age as well, but overall the exterior looks pretty clean. The interior is beautiful, bespoke and old school, which unfortunately makes things like the stereo and the “SRS Air Bag” stamp on the glove box really stick out. A nifty, rare car, though not the prettiest thing on four wheels. – The Aero SuperSports is essentially a targa-top version of the Aeromax, which itself was a coupe version of the Aero 8 roadster. Not that there are many comparable sales to a low-production Morgan from 2010, but this is a record auction price for the model, and not a particularly well-maintained example of the breed.

Lot # 222 1958 Chevrolet Corvette FI Convertible; S/N J58S104241; Panama Yellow, White coves/Black; Estimate $150,000 – $180,000; Older restoration 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $105,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $117,600. – 283/290hp Fuelie, close ratio 4-speed, Big Brakes, WonderBar radio. – An older restoration. The paint has some light swirling. The chrome is very good and has little wear. The engine shows some use and some grime. The underbody is restored and is a bit dirty but the interior doesn’t show significant use. Certainly an older restoration needing a detail to bring the finishes back to its restored glory. – This is an inherently attractive Fuelie Corvette in bright, attractive colors. It is not pristine, and no one is claiming numbers-matching, but it is seriously attractive and brought an appropriate price for its presentation and [lack of] history. It is not too cherry to drive and should be a rewarding acquisition at this price.

Lot # 223 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Coupe, Body by Pininfarina; S/N 5179GT; Engine # 5179; Grigio Argento/Rosso leather; Estimate $1,700,000 – $2,000,000; Older restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $1,500,000. – 2,953/240hp, 4-speed, Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, ANSA exhaust, woodrim steering wheel, Ferrari Classiche Red Book certified in 2022. – Represented as matching numbers and with a recent cosmetic restoration. One owner from 1966-2012. Original engine, correct transmission. Good paint and chrome. The wheels are showing a little age and both the engine and the underbody show some use. Very clean interior. A lightly used restored Lusso. – Sold by RM at Monterey in 2014 for $2,117,500 and subsequently restored in its original colors and mechanically restored this no-sale high bid is a sad commentary on Lusso values. Even Broad Arrow’s pre-sale estimate confirms that conclusion.

Lot # 225 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Sport Coupe; S/N 124378N412417; Grotto Blue, White nose band/Blue vinyl; Estimate $400,000 – $500,000; Older restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $400,000 plus commission of 11.25%; Final Price $445,000. – 427/450hp L72, M21 4-speed, COPO 9737, Rally wheels, Firestone red line tires, spoilers, Stewart Warner under dash gauges, original radio, ram air hood, original Yenko invoice, bill of sale. – Genuine Yenko, one of about 64 built in 1968. Some chips on the grille. Very good paint and chrome. Light delamination at the edges of the windshield. Lightly worn seatbelts. An icon. – Sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2003 for $105,840 with 48,996 miles. Today it has 49,134 miles, just 138 miles in 21 years, appropriate use for a rare COPO 9737 Yenko Camaro. No one experiences, much less enjoys, these extraordinary performance cars even though their values continue to ascend. It is hugely expensive, but no more than it deserves.

Lot # 227 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 Roadster; S/N CSX2159; Silver Mist/Red leather; Estimate $1,350,000 – $1,650,000; Older restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Post-block sale at $1,270,455 plus commission of 10.39%; Final Price $1,402,501. – 289/271hp, 4-speed, grille and trunk guards, silver painted wire wheels, Pirelli tires, wind wings, 90-degree Rotunda tach, full weather equipment, tools, jack. – The first Cobra built with front fender vents. Two owners from new and both of them sat on this old, surface cracked upholstery and put their feet on the old, faded, carpets. Bright chrome. Very good clearcoat repaint and bright chrome. Restored chassis, good engine compartment. Represented as the original engine and drivetrain. A rare and special Cobra. – Broad Arrow did a good job conveying just how special this 2-owner Cobra is and how well it has been preserved over the years. The result is a material premium for its mixed preservation/restored condition but recognizes that it has always been cherished and preserved. Compared with similar Cobras it is expensive but its history deserves the premium.

Lot # 230 1938 Talbot-Lago T150 C Lago Special Teardrop Coupe, Body by Figoni & Falaschi; S/N 90034; Black/Tobacco leather; Estimate $6,500,000 – $8,500,000; Recent restoration 2+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $4,250,000. – RHD. 3,996/140hp inline six, 4-speed pre-selector, chrome wire wheels, Dunlop tires, Marchal headlights, driving light and fog light, Klaxon turn semaphores, sliding sunroof. –

Known history from new, retained in largely original condition, class winner at the Spa 24 Hours in 1948. Beautiful paint, chrome and interior with only slight stretching. The chassis and engine compartment is restored like new without going berserk. A beautiful car in beautiful condition and the only Figoni & Falaschi Goutte d’Eau on the long wheelbase Lago Special chassis with rear deck spline, biplane rear bumper and lovely chrome side and lower fender accents. –

Sold by RM at Monterey in 2005 to John O’Quinn for $3,685,000, then after a meticulous RM restoration at Monterey in 2010 from O’Quinn’s estate for $4,620,000. The market for rare, sleek French cars may have changed in the last fourteen years, but not enough to make the reported high bid here sufficient to own this magnificent Talbot-Lago for the reported high bid.

Lot # 231 1901 Panhard et Levassor Twin-Cylinder 7 HP Tonneau, Body by Henri Labourdette; S/N 231; Engine # 2881; Green/Burgundy leather; Estimate $225,000 – $275,000; Older restoration 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $275,000 plus commission of 11.82%; Final Price $307,500. – 1,650/7hp twin, 3-speed, artillery wheels, Dunlop tires, bulb horn, Phare Ducellier driving light, wood tool box, dual chain drive. – Discovered in the basement of a castle in the 1990s and restored. Multiple London to Brighton veteran and finisher. Older paint. Small dent in the driving light. Signs of use underneath. Dry, mildly cracking leather in the back. The perfect amount of wear and tear for a car like this. – Panhard et Levassor was among the world’s earliest large-scale carmakers, selling its first automobile in 1890. Panhard is a popular choice for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, which is only open to automobiles built before 1905. It’s an increasingly popular event, and good, eligible motorcars aren’t exactly easy to come by. This one sold very well, exceeding its estimate and bringing a similar price to what previous owners paid for it. It sold at auction in 2007 for $297,000, and again in 2014 for £259,100 ($414,534 at the time). This result is, for sake of comparison, £238,300. Currency exchange rates make a difference, but aside from that this Panhard has been as steady a performer in the market as it is on the LBVCR.

Lot # 243 1957 Maserati 200SI Spyder, Body by Fantuzzi; S/N 2415; Red/Black leather; Estimate $3,300,000 – $3,600,000; Competition restoration 3+ condition; With Reserve; Reported sold but not confirmed $3,200,000. – RHD. 1,993/188hp, 4-speed, silver painted Borrani wire wheels, full width Plexiglas windscreen, dash mounted Heuer stopwatch, Marchal headlights, Dunlop Racing tires. – Excellent older paint with minor scrapes. Sound older upholstery with scrapes and scuffs. Restored chassis and engine compartment are neat but neither fresh nor pristine. Original bodywork, chassis and gearbox, comes with the original engine block. Thoroughly documented by Walter Baumer, participant in the 1957 Mille Miglia finishing 6th in class and 23rd overall. – When thinking of Maserati sports-racing cars of the Fifties it is easy for attention to drift to the 6-cylinder 300S, the sports counterpart of the 250F GP Maserati, or to the thunderous 450S V-8 a fast car fated to have more potential than success. The 200SI, however, was successful and has all the joyous driving experiences that make Maseratis of the period so sought. Bid to this amount on the block and reported sold later at an undisclosed price that can’t have been far from the observed bid on the block.

Lot # 246 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS Spider, Body by Pininfarina-Scaglietti; S/N ZFFXA20A1K0080610; Rosso Corsa, Black leatherette roof panel/Black leather; Estimate $225,000 – $275,000; Unrestored original 2 condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $300,000 plus commission of 11.67%; Final Price $335,000. – 3,185/270hp, 5-speed, Goodyear Eagle XR55 tires, air conditioning. – 247 miles, Ferrari Classiche certified. Belt serviced in 2020. Like new. – Sold to Les Wexner by RM at Monterey in 2012 for $159,500 with 128 miles and now double that. This is basically double the money of an ordinary 328 GTS for the tiny miles. And now what is to be done with it because every mile will chip away at the value? That’s not to argue with the price it brought, only to wonder what the new owner will do with it.

Lot # 248 1913 Mercer Type 35J Raceabout; S/N 1273; Engine # 1004; Yellow, Black accents/Black leather; Estimate $2,500,000 – $3,000,000; Older restoration 3- condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $1,500,000. – RHD. Rushmore acetylene headlights, dashboard mounted searchlight, Dietz kerosene sidelights, monocle windshield, bulb horn, dual rear-mounted spares, Stewart speedometer, running board accessory seat. – Wrecked by the second owner, Raymond Skilton, who crashed it in 1919 requiring a new frame. Eventually ended up with Jack Fetterolf in the early 40’s and prepared for vintage events. Sold to Dan Williams in Dallas in the early 50’s, restored by Ralph Buckley with replacement fenders and hood and stayed with the Williams family until the present day. Faded and chipped old paint, worn upholstery. Dull brass. Old AACA National First Prize. Old and pleasingly used. – It is impossible to see how this Mercer 35J, with its lusty 60hp four and renowned chassis, failed to bring more than this result. Cursed by the replacement fenders and hood? Perhaps, but not reasonably. The estimate range is reasonable and realistic, the reported bid is forgettable.

Lot # 249 1953 Cunningham C3 Coupe, Body by Vignale; S/N 5211; Black/Dark Red leather; Estimate $750,000 – $950,000; Older restoration 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $700,000 plus commission of 10.71%; Final Price $775,000. – 331/310hp Chrysler FirePower Hemi, column shift 3-speed manual, wheel covers, original radio with rear seat speaker, heat and defrost, woodrim steering wheel. – Ordered new by American enthusiast Bill Burden (a grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt who commissioned Harry Miller’s V-16 road car). Restored in the 2000s but returned to its original black color more recently. Excellent paint and chrome. The rubber around the windshield frame is inconsistent. The driver’s seat bottom is a little flat but the interior mostly looks gorgeous, especially the gauges which have faces painted to match the upholstery color. A rare American race car for the road, in mostly stellar shape. – This C3, one of only about three dozen built, sold in Monterey back in 2006 for $374,000 and then at Gooding’s Pebble Beach auction in 2012 for $341,000. Broad Arrow then sold it here last year out of the Gateway Automobile Museum collection for $610,000, though it was still finished in light yellow and had wire wheels then. Returning it to original specs was a good move, then, not just for authenticity but also for value. The bidders also recognized this as the rare buying opportunity it is. You can’t count on a Cunningham coming to market. You have to wait for it.

Lot # 254 2000 Lola B2K/40 LMP2 LMP2 Sports Racer; S/N HU08; White/Black vinyl; Estimate $185,000 – $215,000; Competition car, original as-raced 3+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $150,000. – RHD. 3-litre Nissan V-6, 6-speed Hewland sequential gearbox, O.Z. wheels, Avon tires, fully race equipped, FIA papers, wheel nut socket, air jack wand, manuals, HSR logbook. – Class winner at the Daytona 24 in 2003 and Sebring 2004. Very good paint and upholstery. Somewhat race used chassis and dormant long enough that it needs thorough service and safety checking. – An attractively presented but race-used car, money is hard to find for an old IMSA/FIA LMP2 sports racer. If there was money for it, anywhere on the Monterey peninsula this week it should have been taken with gratitude. This bid? It would have been a gift to the seller.

Lot # 256 1958 Chevrolet Corvette FI Convertible; S/N E58S00350; Engine # F905DH; Dark Grey, Silver coves, Dark Grey hardtop/Red vinyl; Black cloth top; Estimate $125,000 – $150,000; Older restoration 2- condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $130,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $145,600. – 283/250hp Fuel Injection, Powerglide, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls, WonderBar radio, two tops. – Bloomington Gold, NCRS Top Flight, Performance Verification, but that was a while ago. Leakage and corrosion at the engine coolant discharge Very good paint, chrome and interior. Crisp gauges. Very good but the restoration is past its prime. – The cylinder block is correctly coded for the 283/250hp Powerglide drivetrain, a choice that places more value on “Fuel Injection” on the fender side than any performance advantage with the soft hydraulic lifter camshaft. The result here, though, is appropriate for the configuration and the two tops that it comes with.

Lot # 258 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder, Body by Ghia; S/N AM115S1081; Engine # AM115S1081; Argento Auteuil/Deep Burgundy leather; Black cloth top; Estimate $750,000 – $850,000; Visually maintained, largely original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $650,000. – 4,709/310hp, ZF 5-speed, Borrani wire wheels with trident caps, woodrim steering wheel, Becker Europa radio, power windows, air conditioning. – One of 125 built. Represented as matching numbers. Lovely paint with a small blemish in the left headlight door. There are a few tiny chips in the windshield and sizable cracks near each of the two fuel filler doors. Good interior with lightly wrinkled leather. A beautiful car wearing an older cosmetic restoration, and quite a bit cheaper than the similar gorgeous and similarly rare Ferrari Daytona Spider. – This car has history: Sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2001 for $81,540 and offered by RM at Monterey seven months later where it was bid to $70,000. It sold at the Hershey auction in 2002 for only $59,400 then started a new life with this attractive repaint and sold at Gooding’s Amelia sale in 2022 for $687,000. It has never been fully restored but was maintained by a succession of informed, caring owners who valued its style, performance and originality. It is somewhat surprising it attracted only this high bid, but it takes informed bidders to appreciate its history and condition and there appears to have been only one of them here, looking for an advantageous purchase.

Lot # 260 2021 Ford GT Coupe; S/N 2FAGP9CW2MH200240; Liquid Blue/Dark Energy; Estimate $750,000 – $850,000; Unrestored original 2 condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $785,000 plus commission of 10.64%; Final Price $868,500. – 213/647hp twin turbo V-6, 7-speed automanual, carbon fiber wheels, Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, Exterior Carbon Fiber package, clean CarFax. – Unblemished and like new, even the tires, one owner and 1,530 miles on the odometer. – Yup, that’s what it costs to own one, even one with $40,000 in options.

Lot # 262 1961 Porsche 356B (T5) 1600 Super Cabriolet, Body by Reutter; S/N 155159; Engine # P89516; Ivory, Black hardtop/Red leather; Black cloth top; Estimate $175,000 – $225,000; Unrestored original 3+ condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $205,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $229,600. – 1,582/75hp, 4-speed, Becker Mexico radio, hardtop, Talbot mirror, chrome wheels, hubcaps, whitewall tires, two tops. – Single owner car owned by William Malencik from new, showing 9,136 miles that are represented as actual. Selling to benefit Trout Unlimited. Surprisingly good original paint with some pits and chips to the front. The finish has surprisingly minor fading for the age. The engine is well kept and shows a minor amount of aging. The interior shows some wear to the seats, but it is surprisingly little. An impressive preservation class car. – This is concours money for a remarkably well-preserved and low miles original Porsche Super Cabriolet with the difference all being attributed to its preservation and the rare hardtop. Hasn’t been serviced in years and needs complete mechanical recommissioning, but what a find.

Lot # 264 1964 Porsche 904 Carrera GTS Coupe, Body by Heinkel; S/N 904057; Engine # 99053; Signal Red/Dark Blue cloth; Estimate $2,200,000 – $2,500,000; Cosmetic restoration 3 condition; With Reserve; Not sold at Hammer bid of $2,100,000. – 1,966/185hp, 5-speed, Avon tires, woodrim steering wheel, Sebring exhaust, extensively documented from new. – Sold new to Spanish racer Juan Fernández who raced and hillclimbed it with consistent success. Original body and transmission, 587/3 specification engine. Cosmetically restored. Some chips in the nose. Foot-long crack in the right headlight cover. Large paint crack ahead of the rear grille. Dinged up wheels. Good interior with mildly faded gauges, seats, and harnesses. A little rough around the edges, but a real-deal 904 that looks ready to be enjoyed at driving events all over the world. – This 904 is appealing in that it was never crashed and/or torn apart for spares, and it’s in the kind of condition where you could race and rally it without wincing at every kicked up rock or bump in the road. It sold at Gooding’s Pebble Beach auction in 2013 for $1.595M, so the high bid here 11 years later is arguably on the light side, especially considering its documented history and never-wrecked condition.

Lot # 266 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 Coupe; S/N WP0ZZZ99ZTS392166; Polar Silver Metallic/Black leather; Estimate $1,300,000 – $1,600,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $1,125,000 plus commission of 10.44%; Final Price $1,242,500. – 3600/430hp, 6-speed, Speedline wheels, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, red calipers, factory cassette, sport seats, air conditioning, green tinted windshield, books, jack, toolkit. – One of the ultimate 993-generation 911s, represented as one of 39 LHD examples built for 1996. Sold new to the Netherlands. Showing 37,770 km (23,469 miles), but no major blemishes on the outside. There is light wear to the leather, but otherwise no real sign of use or age. – This price is on the soft side for a GT2 with no real issues other than some miles. Something on the other side of $1.5M would have been less surprising.

Lot # 278 1904 Turner-Miesse 10hp Steam Rear Entrance Tonneau; S/N 256; Engine # 256; Brown, Black fenders/Black leather; Beige cloth top; Estimate $125,000 – $175,000; Unrestored original 4+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $80,000 plus commission of 12.00%; Final Price $89,600. – RHD. Lucas monocle headlight, Powell & Hammer kerosene sidelights, kerosene taillight, Stewart speedometer. – Mostly original with some cosmetic attention as needed. Recent flash boiler. Lots of dull brass with some older polished brass that is losing its luster. Usable replaced upholstery with older probably original leather trim. Worn, faded top. Old chassis and running gear. 3rd at Pebble Beach in the Preservation Class in 2014 and not operated since. VSCC Brighton Run eligible. – It will take a lot to get this Turner-Miesse back into condition for the LBVCR, but it will be a rewarding exercise. It is a marvelous old thing with great possibilities.

 

Lot # 283 1993 Honda NSX-R Coupe; S/N NA11100077; Championship White/Red; Estimate $400,000 – $450,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $330,000 plus commission of 11.52%; Final Price $368,000. – RHD. 2,977/252hp, 5-speed, white Enkei wheels, Dunlop Direzza tires, Bose cassette, carbon fiber trim around the radio and shifter, air conditioning, service book, tire brush kit. – One of 483 built. Showing 38,314 km (23,807 miles). One owner car until last year. Recently serviced. Very clean engine. Light detail scratching on the roof, but the white paint looks very good. Very good interior showing almost no wear. A mostly top notch NSX-R. It’s in nice shape and has low mileage, but not too nice and not too low, so you could actually go out and drive it quickly without worries or guilt. – Broad Arrow sold a similarly clean but significantly lower-mile NSX-R here last year for a record $632,000. This one was never going to bring that much, but Broad Arrow’s $400K low estimate seemed realistic given that the NSX-R is a rare, high-spec version of a beloved driver’s car as well as a version that never sold here and has so far been imported as a collector car in very small numbers. The seller was probably disappointed with this result, and that’s fair, but took the money and that’s reasonable.

Lot # 289 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 Coupe; S/N ZA9DU01B81LA12556; Orange/Black and Orange leather; Estimate $750,000 – $850,000; Unrestored original 2- condition; With Reserve; Hammered Sold at $675,000 plus commission of 10.74%; Final Price $747,500. – 5,992/550hp, 6-speed, Pirelli P Zero tires. – Very late Diablo, one of 337 of this iteration built. Represented with 12,474 miles. Looks just about perfect. – Lamborghini came under the Audi umbrella in 1998, and the Diablo was immediately updated for its last few years. The most obvious difference in the facelifted 1999-2001 Diablo is the fixed Nissan 300ZX headlights instead of the old pop-ups, but it also got a better interior. The later cars are generally worth a little more than the earlier ones, and this price is top dollar.

Lot # 290 1917 Locomobile Model 48 Type M Series 7 Boattail Speedster, Body by Murphy (?); S/N 11821; Engine # 9743; White/Burgundy leather; Estimate $200,000 – $250,000; Older restoration 3+ condition; No Reserve; Hammered Sold at $100,000 plus commission `of 12.00%; Final Price $112,000. – 525/80hp, 4-speed, black wood spoke wheels, Silvertown whitewalls, General fire extinguisher, electric headlights, Phares Besnard pedestal spotlight, bulb horn, dual rear-mounted spares. – An immense two-seater with very good touched up old paint, The brass is brightly lacquered but starting to wear thin. Excellent older upholstery starting to wear and show light use. The chassis was restored like new but now has evidence of use, road grime and oily residue. A superlative car for tours and events. – This is a magnificent Locomobile, acknowledged as the best automobile built in the early years of the American industry. Locomobile used the finest materials and manufacturing techniques to effect Andrew L. Riker’s designs. Unfortunately what we don’t know about this Model 48 is the origin of the coachwork, nor the car’s early history and that is a compelling restraint on its value making the result – even though the car will be a thrilling ride on Brass events – realistic for discerning collectors. The lack of history before being discovered in Italy in 2021 is devastating for its value and, frankly, this doesn’t look like a 1917 Locomobile. The Broad Arrow catalog offers no definitions nor even clues, but it is hard to go wrong at this price.
