Bring a Trailer is swinging for the fences today, serving up a lineup that runs the full spectrum from a hand-built Porsche icon of the 1950s all the way to a screaming V12 Lamborghini drop-top — with a Rolls-Royce, a Ducati 916, and a Corvette Grand Sport thrown in for good measure. Bids are still quiet across the board, which means the window to sneak in early and anchor the conversation is wide open. Buckle up, because there’s something here for every flavor of obsessive.
Willhoit 2.2L-Powered 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster 5-Speed
This is the one that stops the scroll. Willhoit Auto Restoration out of Whittier, California is one of the most respected names in the 356 world, and a car that’s passed through their hands wearing a 2.2-liter engine and a 5-speed gearbox isn’t your average crusty barn-find — it’s a driver-optimized, thoroughly sorted classic that wants to be used. The 356A Speedster is already one of the most coveted shapes in automotive history, a low, wind-in-your-hair machine that launched a thousand posters. Check out this Willhoit-built 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster on Bring a Trailer before the bidding wakes up and the numbers get scary.
2025 Aston Martin Vanquish
The Vanquish nameplate is back, and it is not messing around — this is Aston’s grand return to a proper flagship GT with all the drama the name implies. Seeing a brand-new 2025 model on BaT this quickly is unusual and immediately raises questions worth exploring in the comments. Whether it’s a dealer demo, an early delivery, or something else entirely, a fresh Vanquish at auction is a rare enough event that serious Aston hunters should be paying close attention. Have a look at the 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish listing on Bring a Trailer and see if the market is ready to put a number on Newport Pagnell’s finest new offering.
247-Mile 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR
Two hundred and forty-seven miles on a 2025 CVO Road Glide RR means this thing is essentially still in the wrapper. The CVO — Custom Vehicle Operations — line represents Harley’s top-shelf, limited-production builds, and the Road Glide RR is the brand’s most performance-focused touring statement. Someone bought this, barely sneezed on it, and now it’s on the auction block, which makes it basically a new bike at a potentially used-bike price — or not, depending on how collectors feel about fresh CVO iron. See the near-new 2025 Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide RR on Bring a Trailer and decide if 247 miles counts as broken in.
1989 Porsche 911 Speedster
The 1989 911 Speedster was a limited-run farewell to the original 911 body style — Porsche built a relatively small number of them, and collectors have never forgotten it. With the raked windscreen, the humped tonneau cover, and that classic narrow-body silhouette, it is one of the most visually arresting 911 variants ever produced. Values on these have been climbing steadily as the air-cooled faithful continue to hoover up every last variant, and a Speedster body with its rarity premium is squarely in the crosshairs of serious collectors. Follow the bidding on this 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster at Bring a Trailer — it won’t stay quiet for long.
26k-Mile 1996 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe LT4 6-Speed Z51
The C4 Grand Sport is the one that got everything right at the end: Admiral Blue with a white stripe and red hash marks, the LT4 small-block V8, a 6-speed manual, and the Z51 suspension package — all in 26,000 documented miles. Chevy only built a very small number of Grand Sports during the C4’s final year, making this one of the most collectible Corvettes of the era and a car that genuinely appreciates while being genuinely driveable. This is peak American muscle wrapped in a package that was ahead of its time. Dig into the details on this 26k-mile 1996 Corvette Grand Sport on Bring a Trailer before the C4 crowd shows up in force.
1997 Ducati 916 at No Reserve
Massimo Tamburini’s 916 is simply one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever drawn, full stop — the trellis frame, the single-sided swingarm, the underseat exhaust, the whole package still looks like it arrived from the future even nearly thirty years later. The “no reserve” tag on a desirable 916 is exactly the kind of thing that gets the BaT motorcycle crowd fired up, because it means the seller is committed and the market will set the price honestly. These have been appreciating nicely as collectors who lusted after them in the nineties now have the means to act on it. Watch the no-reserve bidding unfold on this 1997 Ducati 916 at Bring a Trailer — it’s the kind of listing that ends with someone very happy and several others very salty.
2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster
If the 356 Speedster is the poet’s choice today, the Aventador Roadster is the id’s choice — a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with the roof off and zero apologies offered. The LP700-4 Roadster generation has started to settle into a more stable collector value as the market figures out that these cars are genuinely special and not being replaced by anything with a combustion engine. Buying an Aventador Roadster in 2026 with the V12 era winding down is starting to look less like indulgence and more like strategy. Take a look at the 2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Roadster on Bring a Trailer and try to make a practical argument against it — we’ll wait.
17k-Mile 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom
Seventeen thousand miles on an eighteen-year-old Phantom tells you everything: this is a car that has been kept, cherished, and driven with the frequency of a cathedral visit rather than a daily commute. The BMW-era Phantom that arrived in 2003 restored Rolls-Royce’s credibility in a serious way, and low-mileage examples are increasingly being looked at as the blue-chip end of the ultra-luxury used market. The ownership cost curve on these is steep, so a well-documented, gently used example from BaT with a transparent auction history is genuinely the smart way to buy one. See the 17k-mile 2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom listed on Bring a Trailer and calculate whether the per-mile cost over its life makes this the bargain of the decade.
Modified 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan at No Reserve
The CTS-V Sedan was already a certified sleeper — a family hauler packing a supercharged LSA V8 lifted directly from the Corvette ZR1 — and a modified example at no reserve is the kind of listing that attracts both the horsepower crowd and the deal hunters in equal measure. The second-generation CTS-V has been quietly earning its stripes as one of the great American performance sedans, and the no-reserve format strips away all gamesmanship and lets the market speak plainly. What the modifications are will make or break the appeal for different buyers, so the comment section should get lively fast. Check out the modified 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan at no reserve on Bring a Trailer and decide where you land on the modified-car debate.
