Bonhams - It's somewhat unsurprising that this particular 550A Spyder sold for more than we've ever seen one sell before. With factory werks provenance and an extensive list of famous races and drivers, this 550A has seen a long life of motorsport, and deserves the attention. With Andy Prill calling this among the three best Spyders in the …

Where To Store Your Porsche Collection: This Ultimate Home Garage is for Sale!
Where to store a large car collection can be an extremely difficult question to answer. Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage is a wonderful facility, but much of it is more museum than garage. Perhaps more importantly, even for Jay it's a destination. He doesn't live on site. For most of us a home which includes enough space for our hobby is the ideal …

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. With a GT1 and a 924 GTR leading the way, there were a handful of other rarities and long-time auction stalwarts in the Principality over the weekend for sale. Pretty …

Yesterday we attended Luftgekühlt and it was one of the best Porsche events we've ever been to. We'll discuss more about the event later this week, and include a whole bunch of photos for your enjoyment. For now, we're focusing on #LuftAuto and the RM Sotheby's auction that took place during the event at high noon. [Editor's Note: The auction of …

After a slow start in Arizona, and a lackluster auction weekend in Paris, the Porsche market bounced back to provide lots to get excited about in Florida this weekend. Outside of the Jerry Seinfeld Collection, which deserves applause in and of itself, there were plenty of other great and exciting lots, from race cars to brand new street cars, …

Whether it was the biting cold of a February in Paris that kept bidders away, or there was something legitimately wrong with the reserves set by the sellers, the end result was a lackluster Paris auction weekend, at least as far as Porsche sales are concerned. Of the 28 Porsche lots that were available across three auction houses, only 13 of them …

If you're looking for a nice warm place to go toward the end of January to both get warm for a few days and bid on vintage collector automobiles, the best choice is probably Scottsdale, Arizona. Five of the world's largest automotive auction houses converge on the town for a weekend of big-dollar sales and exciting bidding action. There were quite …

When we previewed the Porsche content selling at the Scottsdale auctions, we weren't exactly blown away with what they had to offer. There didn't seem to be a major headliner for the Porsche camp to whip up a bidding frenzy for. That all changes with a move to another continent, and another sale. There are some excellent listings in this one, and …

Every year I get really excited when early Auction season rolls around. There's always some interesting stuff coming across the auction block, and the Scottsdale, Arizona sales kick off the year with a great start. In years past, we've seen 904s, 906s, RS61 Spyders, a handful of 959s, dozens of speedsters, a few 2.7 RS, and rare race cars. This …

A couple of months ago, when we first heard tell that this Porsche would be sold at auction, we brought you the news with an auction preview of RM Sotheby's "Driven by Disruption" event. This is no normal 356, to be fair, and it certainly commands a presence with its wild "history of the universe" mural paint scheme. This car is all about history, …
