Bring a Trailer dropped a lineup today that reads like someone raided the world’s greatest private collections and one very surprising military surplus yard. From a Fayence Yellow widow-maker to a genuine WWII Comet Tank, July 11th is not a slow Saturday on the auction block. Grab a coffee — or something stronger — because this one deserves your full attention.
Fayence Yellow 2005 Porsche Carrera GT
The Carrera GT is one of the last truly unfiltered, unapologetic analog supercars ever built — no stability nannies, a howling naturally aspirated V10 sitting just behind your shoulder, and a reputation that demands absolute respect. Fayence Yellow is a polarizing but undeniably dramatic color choice that makes this car impossible to ignore in a parking lot or on a bid sheet. These have been climbing steadily in value for years and show no signs of slowing down. Check out this Fayence Yellow 2005 Porsche Carrera GT before the serious money starts flying.
This Week’s Weird and Wonderful — July 10, 2026
BaT’s recurring “Weird and Wonderful” column is basically required reading for anyone who loves cars with a story — the oddballs, the one-offs, and the machines that don’t fit neatly into any checkbox. Given the rest of today’s lineup, the bar for “weird” has been set impressively high this week. Flip through this week’s Weird and Wonderful for July 10, 2026 to see what else the BaT editors have been digging up from the fringes of the automotive universe.
Euro 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S
If the Carrera GT is the star of the supercar world, the Countach LP5000 S is its rebellious Italian grandfather — all wedge angles, drama, and zero apologies. The Euro-spec designation matters here because it means you’re likely looking at slightly different emissions tuning and potentially some market-specific equipment, which collectors absolutely care about. The LP5000 S variant was the big-engined evolution that gave the Countach the grunt to match its outrageous looks. Don’t sleep on this Euro 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 S — proper examples are only getting harder to find.
56-Years-Owned 1964 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 Coupe
Fifty-six years with a single owner is the kind of provenance that auction hunters dream about — it means a documented, knowable history and a car that almost certainly wasn’t flipped by a speculator every three years. The Series I E-Type 3.8 is widely considered the purest expression of the XKE, before Jaguar added emissions equipment and made accommodations for comfort over passion. Enzo Ferrari reportedly called it the most beautiful car ever made, and I’m not inclined to argue. This 56-years-owned 1964 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 Coupe is the kind of listing that comes along once in a blue moon.
2024 Ferrari 296 Challenge
The Ferrari 296 Challenge is a track-only weapon built on the same plug-in hybrid V6 platform as the road-going 296 GTB, but stripped and optimized purely for circuit competition in the Ferrari Challenge one-make racing series. Buying one new means buying into a very specific, very exclusive ecosystem — factory support, spec racing, and the Ferrari lifestyle at full volume. On the secondary market, these are genuinely rare because most stay in the hands of serious gentleman racers. This 2024 Ferrari 296 Challenge is as close to a factory Ferrari race car as most of us will ever sit in.
1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible
The early ’60s Bonneville convertible is full-fat American optimism on wheels — long, low, wide, and dripping with chrome at a time when Detroit genuinely believed bigger was always better. As the top-of-the-line Pontiac of its era, the Bonneville came loaded and wore its prestige proudly. These are crowd-pleasers at any show and still remarkably usable on a summer cruise, which is more than you can say for some of the other cars on today’s list. This 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible is the kind of car that makes strangers wave at you from the sidewalk.
625-Mile 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3ZR ZTK
Six hundred and twenty-five miles. On a ZR1 Convertible with the ZTK Performance Package. Someone bought the most extreme C7 Corvette ever made, the last front-engine ZR1 before everything changed with the C8, and then essentially put it in a time capsule. The ZTK package adds the aggressive aero and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires that make this car a genuine track weapon, not just a straight-line bully. This 625-mile 2019 Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3ZR ZTK may be the definitive collector’s C7 — and the bidding should reflect that.
1945 A.34 Comet Tank
Yes. A tank. A real, actual WWII-era British Comet tank, which is arguably the most interesting vehicle on Bring a Trailer today and possibly the most interesting thing listed on the internet this week. The A.34 Comet was the British Army’s answer to German armor late in the war — faster and more reliable than its predecessors, and it saw action in the final push into Germany. Running gear on a 80-year-old tank is always the question, but owning one is a statement that goes well beyond any sports car. This 1945 A.34 Comet Tank is not for the faint of heart — or the short of driveway.
350-Powered 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop
The ’57 Bel Air is one of the most recognizable shapes in American automotive history, and swapping in a 350 small-block is one of the most time-honored ways to make it more driveable without destroying its essential character. It’s not a numbers-matching purist’s car, but it’s probably a blast to drive and easier to maintain than a restored original. For a lot of enthusiasts, that’s the better trade. This 350-powered 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-Door Hardtop is classic Americana with a practical twist.
Today’s BaT lineup is genuinely one for the books — a Carrera GT and a Countach on the same day would normally be enough, but somebody went and threw in a WWII tank just to make sure nobody got any work done. Keep your refresh finger warm and your budget realistic. We’ll be watching.
