Bonhams - It's somewhat unsurprising that this particular 550A Spyder sold for more than we've ever seen one sell before.

2016 Porsche Monterey Auction Results
This year in Monterey, there was some good and some less than good. We saw quite a few cars go unsold, but there were a number that met or exceeded their high estimate price. Some high-dollar Porsche lots were among those unsold, including the 550 Spyder, GT2 Evo, and both 962s. The 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Homologation car was withdrawn prior to the …

Monaco was an interesting auction for Porsche buyers (and sellers), as there were a few exceedingly rare lots that you're unlikely to see ever again, and haven't ever seen before.

There are some excellent listings in this one, and …

The best place to be, every year come mid August, is Monterey, California for Car Week. As part of that week, all of the major auctions have some pretty interesting cars for sale, and this year's offerings were spectacular. Gooding, in particular, was well worth going to. We attended the Gooding & Co. Auction this year, and were impressed with …

The major auctions in Monterey have slowly become the world standard for collector cars. Every year, more records are set during the Monterey car week auctions than any other, and this year will doubtless be more of the same. Some of the world's best cars are converging on the California coast in attempts to find new owners. Millions of dollars …
