SVJ Roadster, a Fuelie Corvette & a New GT3 Weissach Hit BaT

SVJ Roadster, a Fuelie Corvette & a New GT3 Weissach Hit BaT

Tuesday’s Bring a Trailer lineup is an absolute fever dream for anyone who loves the full spectrum of automotive greatness — from chrome-bumper American muscle to carbon-fiber Italian lunacy. Nine cars are on the block today, spanning six decades and at least as many reasons to refresh your browser obsessively. Bidding is just getting started across the board, so now’s the time to get acquainted before the serious money starts flying.

2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP770-4 SVJ Roadster

The SVJ Roadster is the open-air send-off for one of the most theatrical naturally aspirated V12s ever bolted into a car, and every one that surfaces at auction feels like a proper event. This is peak Lamborghini excess — Nürburgring records, active aero, a wail that’ll rearrange your internal organs — in drop-top form. With SVJ Roadster production capped tightly, these are only going to get more collectible as the Aventador era fades into legend. Don’t sleep on this 2021 Aventador SVJ Roadster on Bring a Trailer — the bidding hasn’t started yet, which means you still have time to get your financial house in order.

29k-Mile 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe 6-Speed

The E39 M5 gets all the press as the “last analog” this-or-that, but the 2008 V8 Vantage with a proper six-speed manual deserves to be in that same conversation. Under 30,000 miles on a car this age suggests someone either loved it too much to drive it or just had too many other toys in the garage — either way, it’s a gift to the next buyer. The Vantage is one of the best-looking cars of its era, full stop, and the manual gearbox makes it the one to have. Check out this 29k-mile 2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6-Speed before the Aston faithful pounce.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe L84 327/360 Fuelie 4-Speed

If you know, you know — the ’63 Split-Window is the Holy Grail of Corvettes, and when you add the L84 fuel-injected 327 making 360 horsepower backed by a four-speed, you’ve got what serious collectors consider the ultimate early Corvette combination. The split rear window was a one-year-only design that Zora Arkus-Duntov himself famously hated for blocking rearward visibility, which only makes it more iconic in hindsight. This is a car that needs no hype from me. This L84 Fuelie Split-Window on Bring a Trailer is the kind of listing you bookmark and check every hour until the hammer drops.

28k-Mile 2014 Porsche Boxster S

The 981-generation Boxster S is earning its reputation as the sleeper buy of the decade — mid-engine balance, a gorgeous flat-six howl, and depreciation that has finally started reversing course as enthusiasts wise up. Twenty-eight thousand miles on a 2014 means this thing is barely broken in, and the Boxster S spec gets you the bigger engine and the sport suspension package that makes canyon roads feel like a personal racetrack. These are still attainable, but that window is closing. This 28k-mile 981 Boxster S is the kind of car that punches way above whatever it sells for today.

1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille Park Avenue

Not every car on today’s list needs to lap the Nürburgring — sometimes you want to cruise down the boulevard in a land yacht the size of a small apartment, dripping in chrome and self-confidence. The ’63 DeVille represents the apex of Detroit’s fins-and-luxury era, a rolling statement that America was building some of the most outrageous automobiles on the planet. These have developed a serious following among custom and lowrider communities as well as traditional collectors, so prices have been creeping up. Glide on over and have a look at this 1963 Cadillac Sedan DeVille Park Avenue if you need some chrome therapy.

2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Weissach

A brand-new 2026 GT3 with the Weissach package at auction is the kind of thing that makes you realize the secondary market for halo Porsches operates in its own economic reality entirely. The Weissach package sheds weight and adds magnesium roof and front lid while bolting on carbon-ceramic brakes — it’s the GT3 for people who found the regular GT3 insufficiently focused. Whether this trades at MSRP, above, or below will be a fascinating data point for anyone watching the GT car market right now. This 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Weissach on Bring a Trailer is must-watch auction television.

9k-Mile 2012 McLaren MP4-12C

The MP4-12C was McLaren’s opening move as a standalone supercar brand, and it was — is — a genuinely brilliant machine that got unfairly overshadowed by the 458 Italia in the press simply because the Ferrari has more drama and less sense. Nine thousand miles on a 2012 means this one is essentially a time capsule of early McLaren, complete with the ProActive Chassis Control system that still impresses engineers today. Values on early McLarens have been creeping upward as parts and maintenance knowledge improve across the independent shop network. This 9k-mile 2012 McLaren MP4-12C deserves a fresh look from anyone who wrote it off back when it launched.

1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante

The DB7 Volante doesn’t get the reverence of the DB5 or DB9, but that’s precisely what makes it interesting from a buy-in perspective — you get genuine Aston Martin drop-top glamour from a clean, Ian Callum-penned design without paying supercar money. The late 1990s were a transitional era for Aston, and the DB7 was the car that helped the brand stabilize and find its modern footing. Ownership costs are the real conversation to have with these, but for the right buyer with the right shop relationship, the reward is a stunning open-air grand tourer. Take a look at this 1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante if British elegance speaks to your soul.

2004 BMW M3 Convertible 6-Speed

The E46 M3 is already deep in the pantheon of great driver’s cars, and the convertible variant with a six-speed manual is the one for buyers who want wind-in-hair alongside that legendary S54 straight-six. Convertibles typically trade at a discount to the coupes among hardcore track-day types, which means you’re getting into the E46 M3 club for less — not a bad deal for a car this good. These are appreciating in real time, and a clean example with a manual is only getting harder to find. This 2004 BMW M3 Convertible 6-Speed is a legitimate entry point into modern classic territory before the price chart goes fully vertical.

That’s a staggering range of horsepower, chrome, and carbon fiber for a single Tuesday — from a $50,000 Bavarian roadster to what will likely be a seven-figure Lamborghini, today’s BaT slate has something to make every gearhead’s palms sweat. Check back throughout the day as the bids start rolling in, and as always, set your maximum bid before you start and then immediately forget you did that and bid higher anyway. We’ve all been there.
