Thursday on Bring a Trailer is serving up an absolutely ridiculous spread — a nine-thousand-mile Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, a genuine 356A Speedster, a Ferrari 458 Italia, and a 34k-mile 348 Spider all dropped on the same day. Someone up there loves us. Bidding hasn’t ignited yet on most of these, which honestly makes right now the perfect moment to pull up a chair, crack something cold, and watch the fireworks start.
9k-Mile 2008 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
Nine thousand miles on an 8C Competizione. Let that sink in. This carbon-bodied, Ferrari-derived V8 masterpiece was produced in tiny numbers and has become one of the defining Italian collector cars of the 2000s — a car that looks like a dream and sounds even better. With mileage this low, expect serious money when the bids finally wake up. Follow the 8C Competizione auction on Bring a Trailer and set your alarm for the final hours.
1956 Porsche 356A Speedster
A 356A Speedster is the kind of listing that stops the scroll cold. These low-slung, lightweight, wind-in-your-teeth roadsters are the foundational Porsche — the car that started the whole legend — and genuine examples have been climbing hard at auction for years. Whether you’re a marque purist or just someone with impeccable taste, this one deserves your full attention. Check out the 1956 Porsche 356A Speedster listing before the bidding gets out of hand.
43-Years-Family-Owned 1975 Honda XL175 at No Reserve
Forty-three years in one family and it’s crossing the block at no reserve — that’s the kind of provenance story that makes the vintage dual-sport crowd sit up straight. The XL175 was Honda’s sweet spot for trail riding in the mid-seventies: light, honest, and nearly indestructible. No-reserve auctions on well-kept single-family bikes almost always deliver great results for the buyer. Bid on the family-owned 1975 Honda XL175 at no reserve while it’s still early.
2011 Ferrari 458 Italia
The 458 Italia is increasingly looking like the last truly analog Ferrari supercar — high-revving naturally aspirated V8, no turbos, no apologies — and the collector market has been pricing them accordingly. A 2011 example puts you right at the start of the production run, which the obsessives tend to prefer. This one hasn’t drawn a bid yet, but that won’t last. Watch the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia auction unfold and decide fast.
1995 Mercedes-Benz E500 Limited
The W124 E500 Limited is the sleeper pick of the day for my money — a hand-assembled, M119 V8-powered executive sedan that Mercedes built in extremely limited numbers specifically for the Japanese market, and one of the most underrated performance sedans of the nineties. These are finally getting the recognition they deserve from collectors who know their Benz history. Dig into the 1995 Mercedes-Benz E500 Limited listing before the W124 faithful show up in force.
RSR-Style 1975 Porsche 911 3.8L Race Car
A 911 built in RSR style with a 3.8-liter motor is exactly as serious as it sounds — this is a track tool wearing one of the most iconic racing livery templates in motorsport history. Whether it ends up as a weekend club racer or a garage centerpiece probably depends entirely on who wins the auction. Get the details on the RSR-style 1975 Porsche 911 3.8L race car and start thinking about your helmet budget.
1985 Yamaha Tri-Moto YTM200ERN at No Reserve
Three wheels, no reserve, 1985 — this Yamaha Tri-Moto is pure nostalgia fuel for anyone who grew up in the era before the ATC ban. The YTM200ERN is a legitimate piece of off-road history, and the no-reserve tag means somebody’s definitely taking it home this week. Bid on the 1985 Yamaha Tri-Moto YTM200ERN at no reserve if the three-wheeler itch needs scratching.
2019 Bentley Bentayga V8
Love it or debate it, the Bentayga V8 is genuinely impressive machinery — twin-turbo V8, hand-stitched everything, and the kind of effortless highway presence that only Crewe can conjure. A 2019 model puts you in the sweet spot of the first-generation run with enough depreciation off the original sticker to make the math actually interesting. See what the 2019 Bentley Bentayga V8 fetches at auction when the bids roll in.
34k-Mile 1995 Ferrari 348 Spider
The 348 Spider spent years living in the shadow of the 355 that replaced it, but the market has come around in a big way — and a 34,000-mile example is genuinely rare for a car that’s now north of thirty years old. This is the entry point into open-air Ferrari ownership that actually has room left to appreciate. Follow the 34k-mile 1995 Ferrari 348 Spider listing and watch the late-bidding drama unfold.
That’s a loaded Thursday on BaT — from a barn-find-adjacent Honda trail bike to a genuine 8C Competizione, the range today is absurd in the best possible way. Keep your tabs open, your notifications on, and check back as the bids start flying. We’ll be watching.
