Saturday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like somebody raided three different dream garages simultaneously — an open-top Ferrari with barely any miles, a legendary purple Skyline, a coachbuilt pre-war Rolls, and enough in between to keep your browser tabs multiplying all afternoon. Bidding hasn’t exploded yet on most of these, which means the smart money is watching closely and waiting for the weekend crowd to show up. Let’s break down what’s worth your attention today.
1,300-Mile 2021 Ferrari 812 GTS
Thirteen hundred miles on a naturally aspirated V12 Ferrari convertible — somebody bought this thing and basically just admired it from across the garage, and honestly, can you blame them? The 812 GTS is the drop-top version of Ferrari’s last hurrah for the big front-engine V12, an engine note that engineers will never be allowed to build again. Bids are at zero right now, which means you still have time to feel like you’re getting in early before the serious money wakes up. Don’t sleep on this 1,300-mile 2021 Ferrari 812 GTS.
Midnight Purple II 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
If you know, you know — Midnight Purple II is one of the most mythologized factory colors in the entire JDM universe, a shade that shifts and shimmers depending on the light in a way that photos simply cannot capture. A V-Spec R34 in this color is essentially a unicorn, and the fact that the R34 GT-R is now fully legal to import and register in the US has sent demand through the stratosphere. Zero bids so far, but that number is not going to stay at zero for long — check out this Midnight Purple II 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec before the feeding frenzy starts.
1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Town Car by Hibbard & Darrin
Hibbard & Darrin were the Paris-based coachbuilders to the absolute elite of the late 1920s and early 1930s, draping their bespoke bodies over the finest rolling chassis money could buy — and the Phantom I chassis was exactly that. A coachbuilt pre-war Rolls is the kind of car that ends up in museums and private collections, and the fact that one is sitting on BaT right now with zero bids is either a sign that the right buyer hasn’t spotted it yet or that people are still reading the fine print. Either way, serious collectors need to be looking at this 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Town Car by Hibbard & Darrin.
This Week’s Weird and Wonderful — June 26, 2026
BaT’s weekly Weird and Wonderful roundup is required reading for anyone who loves cars that defy categorization — the kind of stuff that makes you say “wait, what?” and then spend forty-five minutes falling down a rabbit hole. If the headline auction cars aren’t scratching your particular itch today, this week’s Weird and Wonderful for June 26, 2026 is guaranteed to find something that does.
2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Weissach at No Reserve
No reserve on a Weissach-package GT2 RS is the kind of sentence that should make every Porsche person sit up straight — this is the most extreme air-cooled-successor 911 Porsche built in the modern era, and the Weissach package strips out weight and adds carbon fiber in all the right places. These have held value ferociously since new, and a no-reserve auction means the market gets to speak without a floor to hide behind. Watch the closing hours carefully on this no-reserve 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Weissach — it could go either way in a big, dramatic hurry.
Ex-Bondurant 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Race Car
Bob Bondurant’s name on any car’s provenance is a serious talking point — the man was one of America’s greatest road racers and later ran the country’s most respected performance driving school, and cars connected to him carry real historical weight. A 1959 Corvette was already a compelling piece of early American sports car history; tie it to a racing legend and you have something genuinely collectible. Provenance like this needs to be verified and documented carefully, but if the paperwork holds up, this ex-Bondurant 1959 Chevrolet Corvette race car is the kind of lot that ends up on auction house walls.
35k-Mile 2008 Aston Martin DB9
The DB9 was the car that reminded the world Aston Martin could still build something breathtakingly beautiful in the modern era, and a 35,000-mile example suggests a life of careful weekend use rather than daily-driver abuse. These are now sitting in a sweet spot where they’re old enough to have depreciated significantly from their new-car prices but not yet old enough to have spiked back up as proper collectibles — meaning right now might genuinely be the time to buy. If you’ve always wanted a grand touring Aston without the eye-watering running costs of something more exotic, this 35k-mile 2008 Aston Martin DB9 deserves a hard look.
Original-Owner 46k-Mile 1974 Datsun 260Z 4-Speed
One owner from new is the golden ticket in the vintage Japanese sports car world, and a 260Z that has lived its entire life in one set of hands carries an authenticity that no restored example can replicate. The 260Z sits in an interesting spot in the Z-car family — slightly less sought-after than the original 240Z but increasingly recognized as a solid car in its own right, especially in well-preserved, numbers-matching form. Original-owner documentation and a 4-speed manual make this original-owner 46k-mile 1974 Datsun 260Z exactly the kind of honest survivor the collector market rewards.
43k-Mile 2017 BMW 330i xDrive Sports Wagon M Sport
The E9X and F3X-generation BMW wagons have gone from overlooked used-car bargains to genuinely in-demand machines as buyers wake up to the fact that a manual-transmission BMW sport wagon is exactly the kind of thing that doesn’t get made anymore. An M Sport-trimmed 330i xDrive with reasonable miles is the practical enthusiast’s answer to nearly every automotive need — school run, canyon road, road trip, autocross. If you want a do-it-all BMW that still puts a grin on your face, this 43k-mile 2017 BMW 330i xDrive Sports Wagon M Sport is worth every minute of your attention.
That’s your Saturday BaT digest — from a century-old coachbuilt Rolls to a barely-driven Italian V12 to a purple Skyline that dreams are made of. Bids are early and the weekend crowd is just warming up, so keep those tabs open and your paddle ready. We’ll be watching how these close.
