Wednesday on Bring a Trailer is serving up a serious spread — we’re talking open-top Ferraris from two different centuries, a low-mileage 993 Turbo that will make grown adults weep, and a six-decade family-owned Mercedes roadster that probably has more stories than most people’s grandparents. Everything just opened up, bids are at zero across the board, and the gates are wide open for someone to steal something — or get into a war. Let’s run through the lineup.
2021 Ferrari 812 GTS — No Reserve
A naturally aspirated V12 convertible Ferrari with no reserve in 2026 is the kind of sentence that makes your palms sweat. The 812 GTS is one of the last great screaming twelve-cylinder drop-tops money can buy from Maranello, and whoever consigned this one no-reserve is either very confident or very motivated. Either way, you win. Bid on the 2021 Ferrari 812 GTS at Bring a Trailer before the sharks smell blood.
2013 BMW 128i M Sport Convertible 6-Speed — No Reserve
The E88 128i M Sport is the perpetually underrated little brother in the BMW convertible family — light, tossable, and genuinely fun to hustle down a back road. Spec it with the six-speed manual and suddenly you’re talking about one of the more honest driving experiences BMW made in the modern era. No reserve means no floor, and these have been creeping up in value as people rediscover them. Check out the 2013 BMW 128i M Sport Convertible on BaT before it disappears quietly for peanuts.
2006 Honda Element EX-P 4WD 5-Speed — No Reserve
Don’t laugh — the Honda Element crowd is real, it’s passionate, and it shows up at auction. The EX-P trim with 4WD and a proper five-speed manual is about as loaded and driver-focused as this quirky little box got, and the no-reserve tag means someone’s walking away with it regardless. These things haul kayaks, dogs, camping gear, and good vibes with zero apology. Place your bid on the 2006 Honda Element EX-P 4WD 5-Speed and embrace the lifestyle.
49k-Mile 2004 Chevrolet SSR
The SSR was GM’s wild swing at a retro-styled convertible truck, and history has not been entirely kind to its reputation — but time has a funny way of rehabilitating the weird ones. At 49,000 miles it’s barely been used, and the SSR crowd is a dedicated bunch who appreciate exactly how bizarre this thing is. Love it or hate it, you won’t confuse it with anything else in a parking lot. Take a look at this 49k-mile 2004 Chevrolet SSR on Bring a Trailer and decide where you land.
31k-Mile 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo
Here it is — the one that’s going to hurt your wallet and your willpower simultaneously. A 993 Turbo with 31,000 miles on it is the kind of listing that makes auction veterans stop scrolling and start calculating home equity. The 993 generation is almost universally considered the pinnacle of air-cooled Porsche 911 development, and the Turbo version is the king of that hill. Follow the bidding on this 31k-mile 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo — it will not be cheap, but it will be worth every dollar to somebody.
The Iconic Collection, from Private Collection Motors
BaT occasionally drops one of these curated multi-car collection events, and the Private Collection Motors “Iconic Collection” has that aura of serious money meeting serious taste. Details will reveal themselves as the auction unfolds, but the headline alone suggests this isn’t a barn-find situation — it’s someone’s carefully assembled life’s work going on the block. Browse the full Iconic Collection from Private Collection Motors and see what category of wealthy we’re dealing with today.
1967 Ferrari 330 GTC
If the 812 GTS is the present of Ferrari’s V12 grand touring tradition, the 330 GTC is the origin story. Built in the mid-1960s as Ferrari’s definitive gentleman’s express, the 330 GTC is a Pininfarina-bodied masterpiece that belongs in serious collections — and this one landed on BaT, which means someone’s got a shot at it. Values on proper 330 GTCs live in the stratosphere for good reason. Explore this 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC listing on Bring a Trailer and start daydreaming responsibly.
Six-Decades-Family-Owned 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Six decades in one family is not a footnote — it’s a provenance story that money genuinely cannot manufacture. The 190SL has spent years in the shadow of its 300SL sibling, but collectors have been paying close and increasingly expensive attention to these elegant little roadsters. One-family ownership since 1962 means consistent care, a known history, and zero wondering about where it’s been. Read the story of this six-decades-family-owned 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL — it’s the kind of car that deserves its own chapter.
2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic
Porsche brought back the Sport Classic nameplate for the 992 generation as a limited-production, ducktail-spoilered, manual-transmission love letter to the brand’s heritage — and the market noticed immediately. These are allocation cars that most dealers never had to actually sell, so seeing one surface at auction this early in its life is genuinely interesting. If you missed your window at MSRP, this might be your next shot. Watch the 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic auction on BaT and see what the secondary market says it’s really worth.
That’s a stacked Wednesday by almost any measure — a pair of Ferraris spanning 55 years, two flavors of 911, a one-family Mercedes with a better backstory than most novels, and a Honda Element that will absolutely attract more passionate commentary than anyone expects. Keep your BaT tabs open and your bidding fingers loose. Check back tonight when the wars really start.
