Wednesday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like somebody raided a fever dream garage sale — we’ve got a manual-swapped Ferrari, a nearly-undriven Lamborghini, a no-reserve GT3 RS, and somehow a 1973 MG Midget project all sharing the same stage. Bids are still early and the comment sections are quiet, which means the sharks haven’t circled yet. Get in early, do your homework, and buckle up.
1999 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-Speed Conversion
A 6-speed manual conversion on an F355 Berlinetta is about as close to perfection as the late-’90s Ferrari experience gets — the F1 paddle-shift cars are fine, but this is the transmission Maranello should have offered. The F355 is widely considered one of Ferrari’s most beautiful and driver-focused cars of the era, with that screaming flat-plane V8 begging to be rowed through the gears yourself. No bids yet, so the opening act is still wide open. Check out the 1999 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-Speed Conversion on Bring a Trailer before the crowd arrives.
20″ Forged Alloy Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Wheels at No Reserve
Not every treasure in the auction world has an engine — sometimes it’s the shoes. Forged alloy wheels spec’d for the 718 Cayman GT4 RS are serious hardware, the kind of fitment that costs a staggering amount new from Porsche. At no reserve, this is a legitimate opportunity for a GT4 RS owner looking to run a second set or a track-day warrior hunting for an upgrade. Grab a look at the no-reserve 20-inch forged Porsche GT4 RS wheels while the bidding clock is young.
1973 MG Midget Project at No Reserve
Every gearhead needs at least one project in their life that makes their spouse question their judgment, and the 1973 MG Midget is a classic candidate. These little British roadsters are lightweight, charming, and practically beg to be wrenched on — parts are plentiful and the community is devoted. No reserve means somebody’s taking it home no matter what, which is exactly how project cars should be auctioned. Follow the 1973 MG Midget project at no reserve and see what the market thinks a rolling British adventure is worth today.
8k-Mile 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS at No Reserve
Eight thousand miles on a 997-generation GT3 RS is the kind of number that makes Porsche people go quiet and reach for their wallets. The 997.1 GT3 RS is a certified icon — naturally aspirated, track-tuned from the factory, and increasingly collectible with every passing year. Dropping it at no reserve is either very confident or very generous, and either way it’s good news for bidders. Don’t sleep on the 8k-mile 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 RS listed at no reserve — this one could get rowdy.
1,700-Mile 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse at No Reserve
Seventeen hundred miles on a Squadra Corse — the most track-focused Gallardo ever made — is genuinely jaw-dropping. This was Lamborghini’s farewell salvo for the Gallardo nameplate, a limited, stripped-down, aero-heavy homologation special that was never meant to sit in a collection gathering dust, yet here we are. No reserve on something this rare is going to attract serious attention once the bidding community wakes up. Watch the nearly-new 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Squadra Corse at no reserve — this might be the highlight of the week.
2.9L-Powered 1992 Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf 5-Speed
The Mercedes 250GD Wolf is one of those vehicles that the American market largely missed out on, and that makes it all the more interesting when one surfaces stateside. Built to NATO military specifications and famously rugged, these diesels were the workhorses of European and UN operations — the G-Wagen’s tougher, less glamorous cousin. A 2.9-liter diesel with a 5-speed manual in a proper Wolf configuration is the anti-Range Rover, and we mean that as a compliment. Take a closer look at the 2.9L-powered 1992 Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf 5-Speed if capable and characterful is your thing.
1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler SR Sport 5-Speed
The CJ-8 Scrambler is the long-wheelbase, pickup-bed oddball of the Jeep CJ family, and that’s precisely why people love it. Production ran only from 1981 to 1985, which keeps supply tight and demand warm among the off-road faithful. A 5-speed manual keeps it honest and fun, and an SR Sport trim adds a little factory flair to the package. Dig into the 1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler SR Sport on Bring a Trailer before the overlanding crowd catches wind of it.
Original-Owner 2004 Audi Allroad 2.7T Quattro 6-Speed at No Reserve
Original-owner cars have a story to tell, and a 2004 Audi Allroad 2.7T with a six-speed manual is already a unicorn in its own right — most buyers ticked the Tiptronic box. The twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter biturbo V6 with Quattro all-wheel drive and air suspension made the Allroad the wagon-that-could, capable of light off-road duty while still being a proper Audi on the highway. At no reserve with a single keeper, the provenance here is about as clean as it gets for a 22-year-old German wagon. Follow the original-owner 2004 Audi Allroad 2.7T Quattro 6-Speed at no reserve — manual Allroads don’t come around often.
34-Years-Owned 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo
Thirty-four years with one owner on a 964-generation 911 Turbo — that’s not a car, that’s a relationship. The 964 Turbo carries on the widowmaker reputation of the 930 while adding a few modern refinements, and long-term single-owner cars like this tend to be genuinely well-documented and cared for. This is the kind of listing that brings out the serious Porsche collectors, the ones who care about matching everything and know exactly what they’re looking at. Get all the details on the 34-years-owned 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo before this one closes.
It’s a murderer’s row of a Wednesday — manual Ferraris, a barely-touched Lamborghini track special, two no-reserve Porsches, a military Benz, and a Jeep pickup all fighting for your attention and your checkbook. Keep those BaT notifications on today, because when the bidding opens up on some of these, things could move fast. We’ll be watching.
