Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the listings read like someone raided the dream garage of every car-obsessed kid who ever pinned a poster to their bedroom wall. We’ve got a time-warp Ferrari 348 with barely any miles, a no-reserve air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo, a racing 992 GT3 Cup car, and a soft-top G-Wagen that most Americans have never even seen in person. Bidding clocks are just warming up, so let’s break down what deserves your attention today.
3,500-Mile 1990 Ferrari 348
Three thousand five hundred miles. On a 348. Let that sink in for a second. The 348 spent years as the redheaded stepchild of the Ferrari family — overshadowed by the 355 that replaced it — but collector sentiment has been warming up considerably, and a nearly untouched example like this is exactly why. If you’ve ever wanted a usable-yet-collectible piece of Maranello history that hasn’t been flogged or flipped a dozen times, this 3,500-mile 1990 Ferrari 348 on Bring a Trailer is about as good a starting point as the market is going to hand you.
RoW 1983 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.4L at No Reserve
A Rest-of-World spec 1983 911 Turbo with an enlarged 3.4-liter engine and absolutely zero reserve? This is the kind of listing that gets air-cooled fanatics reaching for their wallets before they’ve even finished reading the title. The G-body 930 Turbo is one of the most visceral driving experiences the 20th century produced — a rear-engine, turbo-lag-laden widow-maker that separates the committed from the merely curious. Bid on this no-reserve 1983 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.4L before the serious collectors wake up and swallow it whole.
2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup
Not every auction hero is a road car, and this 992-generation GT3 Cup racer is proof that BaT has expanded well beyond the barn-find crowd. These Cup cars are purpose-built Porsche Motorsport weapons — no compromises, no cup holders, nothing but lap times. If you’ve got a racing license and a trailer, this is an extraordinary entry point into serious club racing with factory Porsche pedigree. Check out the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup listing and start doing the math on track day budgets.
36k-Mile 2006 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet Europa
The G-Wagen Cabriolet is one of those vehicles that most North American enthusiasts only know from magazine photos — Mercedes quietly killed the soft-top G before it ever made it to the US market in meaningful numbers, making European-spec examples genuinely rare finds. With only 36,000 miles, this one is essentially fresh, and the combination of open-air driving and go-anywhere G-Wagen capability is a package that simply doesn’t exist anymore. This 36k-mile 2006 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet Europa is the kind of unicorn that shows up once and disappears forever.
2013 McLaren 12C Spider
The 12C doesn’t always get the love it deserves — it launched into a world that wasn’t quite ready to embrace McLaren as a full-on supercar brand, and early residuals suffered for it. But time has been kind to the 12C, and the Spider variant with that mid-mounted twin-turbo V8 and a folding hardtop is a legitimately spectacular machine that now represents serious value compared to what 650S and 720S money looks like. This 2013 McLaren 12C Spider on Bring a Trailer is worth a hard look for anyone who wants British supercar drama without the full 720S premium.
32k-Mile 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider
The 488 Spider sits in a sweet spot right now — old enough to have depreciated meaningfully from its original sticker, young enough to still feel thoroughly modern, and blessed with one of the best twin-turbo V8s Ferrari has ever bolted into a road car. Thirty-two thousand miles is on the higher end for a Ferrari Spider of this vintage, but it also means someone actually drove the thing, which is exactly how it should be used. Follow the bidding on this 32k-mile 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider to see where the market lands on a well-exercised example.
29k-Mile 2015 Bentley Mulsanne
If you want to understand what rolling in absolute, unapologetic luxury felt like in 2015, the Mulsanne is your answer — this is Bentley’s handcrafted flagship, the car above the Continental, the one with the hand-stitched everything and a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 that traces its lineage back decades. Twenty-nine thousand miles on a Mulsanne means it’s been used but not abused, and the maintenance costs on these things make the purchase price look like the easy part. This 29k-mile 2015 Bentley Mulsanne is old-world opulence for whoever’s ready to commit to it.
48k-Mile Japanese-Market 2000 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG Performance Package
JDM-spec German iron is a niche within a niche, and a Japanese-market S55 AMG with the Performance Package from 2000 is exactly the kind of deep-cut that BaT’s comment section lives for. The W220 S55 AMG was already a remarkable machine — a hand-built AMG V8 in the stately S-Class body — and the Performance Package sweetens the pot further, while the Japanese market provenance often means a fastidiously maintained, low-abuse history. Dig into this Japanese-market 2000 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG before the AMG faithful snap it up.
One-Owner 2011 Land Rover LR4 HSE at No Reserve
The LR4 is one of those trucks that inspires fierce loyalty from its owners and mild terror from its mechanics, and a one-owner example heading to no-reserve auction is an interesting proposition for anyone who wants a capable family hauler with genuine off-road credibility. One owner from new means a known history, which is worth quite a bit when you’re talking about a vehicle as electronically complex as a mid-2000s Land Rover. Follow this one-owner 2011 Land Rover LR4 HSE at no reserve if you want your weekends filled with either mountain trails or dealership waiting rooms — probably both.
That’s today’s BaT roundup — nine cars that run the gamut from race-prepped Porsches to hand-stitched Bentleys to open-air G-Wagens that most of us have never seen in the metal. The clocks are ticking and the bidders are circling, so bookmark what interests you and check back as the action heats up. We’ll be watching.
