Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided three different dream garages and tossed in a museum piece for good measure. We’ve got old-world European elegance, Italian grand touring, screaming V8 convertibles, a JDM unicorn, and — yes — a half-scale Formula 1 display model that has absolutely no business being on a car auction site, and yet here we are. None of these have broken the bidding ice yet, which means the smart money is watching and waiting. Let’s break it all down.
1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet
If you need me to explain why a W111 cabriolet matters, you may be on the wrong website. The 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet is one of the most beautifully proportioned drop-tops Germany ever produced — hand-built coachwork, a silky M116 V8, and enough presence to make Italian cars nervous. Values on clean examples have only climbed over the years, and a no-bid situation early in the week just means the serious collectors haven’t shown their cards yet. Check out this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet on Bring a Trailer before the feeding frenzy starts.
25k-Kilometer 2014 Ferrari FF
The Ferrari FF was a genuinely bonkers idea — a four-seat, all-wheel-drive Ferrari shooting brake — and it absolutely worked. With only 25,000 kilometers on the clock, this one has barely been broken in by prancing horse standards. The FF has a way of being simultaneously the most practical and most insane car in any parking lot, and depreciation has brought these into a price range where the value proposition is hard to ignore. Browse this low-kilometer 2014 Ferrari FF on Bring a Trailer and try not to start mentally packing for a road trip.
18k-Mile 2008 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed
The E92 M3 with the S65 naturally aspirated V8 and a six-speed manual is the kind of combination that makes modern turbocharged performance cars feel a little soulless by comparison. Eighteen thousand miles on an ’08 M3 is practically delivery mileage, and the manual gearbox spec is exactly what the collector market wants right now. These are only going up, folks. Don’t sleep on this 18k-mile 2008 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed listing on Bring a Trailer.
47k-Mile 2015 Jaguar F-Type V8 S Convertible at No Reserve
A supercharged V8 F-Type with no reserve is the auction equivalent of leaving meat out for wolves — bidders are going to show up eventually. The V8 S makes a noise that should be illegal in at least twelve states, and 47k miles means someone actually drove and enjoyed it the way Jaguar intended. No-reserve listings on desirable cars like this tend to attract a crowd fast once bidding opens. Follow this no-reserve 2015 Jaguar F-Type V8 S Convertible on Bring a Trailer and be ready to move.
2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition
The GR Corolla Morizo Edition is the stripped-out, track-focused version of an already serious hot hatch — no rear seats, more power, stiffer everything, and built in genuinely limited numbers. Toyota named it after the racing alias of their own CEO, which tells you everything about how serious they were. These are going to be sought-after collector cars, and finding one on the open market without dealer markup games is increasingly rare. See the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Morizo Edition on Bring a Trailer before a collector snaps it up.
50k-Mile 2005 Audi TT Roadster 3.2 Quattro
The 3.2 Quattro is the TT Roadster done right — the narrow-angle VR6 is a gem of an engine, the Haldex all-wheel-drive system gives it genuine all-weather usability, and 50k miles on a twenty-year-old car suggests a pampered life. The first-gen TT is quietly entering appreciator territory, especially in higher specs like this. Take a look at this 50k-mile 2005 Audi TT Roadster 3.2 Quattro on Bring a Trailer before the nostalgia wave fully arrives.
1970 TVR Vixen 2500
TVR built cars for people who thought Lotus was too mainstream and safety regulations were merely suggestions, and the Vixen 2500 is a proper example of that freewheeling British cottage-industry madness. Lightweight, rear-wheel-drive, and powered by a Triumph-sourced inline-six, it’s the kind of car that rewards the mechanically brave. Finding one stateside is always an event. Dig into this 1970 TVR Vixen 2500 on Bring a Trailer if you like your classics with a side of adventure.
Half-Scale Mercedes-AMG W17 E Performance Display Model at No Reserve
Look, I don’t know what your garage situation is, but a half-scale replica of Mercedes-AMG’s Formula 1 car is genuinely one of the more unhinged things to land on BaT in recent memory — and that’s saying something. It’s a display model, it won’t embarrass you at a stoplight, but it will absolutely start conversations at every car show you attend for the rest of your life. No reserve means someone is walking away with this absurd trophy for whatever the market decides. Check out the no-reserve Half-Scale Mercedes-AMG W17 E Performance Display Model on Bring a Trailer and ask yourself if you really need that second dining room chair.
Supercharged 440-Powered 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury 5-Speed
A 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 440 big-block, a supercharger, and a five-speed manual is the kind of build that doesn’t ask permission. The Sport Fury was always the performance top dog of Plymouth’s full-size lineup, and whoever put this combo together clearly had strong opinions about tire longevity. This is a purpose-built muscle machine, not a trailer queen, and it’ll appeal to exactly the right crowd. Get the details on this supercharged 440-powered 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury on Bring a Trailer and make sure your insurance agent doesn’t read this post.
Nine listings, zero bids so far, and a whole lot of week left to unfold. Keep your BaT notifications on and your checkbook honest — a lineup this eclectic doesn’t come together every Sunday. Check back as bidding heats up and we’ll see which of these walks away for a steal and which one shatters expectations.
