First, some context. My sisters and I all have a background in the auction business. Birthday Twin has been a PA/NJ/DE licensed auctioneer for something like 32 years, worked at an art auction.

I had a really great experience with Briggs! Their staff is helpful and responsive to questions and concerns, and I found bidding through the app to be SO easy and fun! My boyfriend also had a.

I am so very happy with the absolutely wonderful and caring service that this long time established company provided my family. I am one of the owners of D’ignazio’s Towne House and my husband and.

Sham of a place bait and switch the art I was bidding and won on. When I went to receive the art poof gone. What a fucking scam

Stopped in for a few minutes to look around. I had never been there (or to any auction for that matter), but my husband had been many years ago. The place was pretty packed. We didn’t see.

Own this business?

11 Cars That Caught Our Eye at the 2025 Broad Arrow Monterey Jet Center Auction

We look at the most interesting and significant cars sold at the Broad Arrow auction below. As for the rest of its 2025 calendar, Broad Arrow has its Zoute auction in Belgium on October 10, a Las Vegas auction on October 31, and a Zurich sale on November 1.

Lot 157: 1999 Nissan Skyline CRS GT-R V-Spec by NISMO

Sold for $692,500

Chassis no. BNR34005124. Black Pearl Metallic over black cloth. Recent restoration, #1 condition.

Equipment: RHD. 2.8L I-6/450hp, 6-speed, upgraded to Clubman Race Spec by NISMO Omori Factory, R4 engine, big brakes, Ohlins suspension, titanium exhaust, carbon fiber front body panels and diffuser, LMGT4 wheels.

Condition: Recently restored and upgraded at the NISMO Omori Factory to Clubman Race Spec, this GT-R is in better-than-new condition in every way, a testament to the precision of a NISMO factory restoration.

Bottom line: Simply put, this car was awesome. A brilliant restoration by the folks at NISMO themselves along with some great drivability upgrades. These cars are incredibly rare and sought after, but outside of the Skyline community, they are not widely known. The $692,500 paid was incredible, but on the low end of expectations. The price potential down the road looks great, however. Monterey is still warming to Japanese cars in a well-established world of Ferraris and Porsches.

Lot 260: 1956 Jaguar XK 140 MC Drophead Coupe

Sold for $81,200

Chassis no. S818207. Red with black cloth top over black leather. Competition car, original as-raced, #4 condition.

Equipment: 3442cc/210hp I-6, 4-speed, red wire wheels, wide whitewalls, wing mirrors, driving lights.

Condition: Previously owned and raced by Briggs Cunningham and Denise McCluggage, the latter of whom took her first professional victory in this car. In original, as-raced condition. The paint is faded and chipped everywhere. The mechanicals are aged but functional, and the interior is heavily worn with ancient-looking and ripped leather. A fantastic preservation car associated with huge names in racing.

Lot 161: 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Sold for $64,400

Chassis no. JF1GD76627L517287. WR Blue Pearl over black and blue cloth. Original, #2-

Equipment: 2458cc/300hp H-4, 6-speed, gold BBS wheels, factory CD stereo.

Condition: Represented with 6200 miles and one owner until last year. The original paint has had a small chip filled on the front bumper under the right headlight and another on the top of the right fender. Other than that, the paint finish is like new. The engine compartment is meticulously detailed, the underbody is immaculate, and the interior unused. An almost like-new STI in classic colors that shows no major use.

Bottom line: It’s a bit difficult to think of the STI as a collector car. The images of vape smoke pouring out of the windows and the obnoxious sounds of aftermarket exhaust are perhaps a bit too fresh, and there are still plenty of folks out there driving their STIs like doofuses today. But the first STI (the top-spec version of the rally-bred Subaru Impreza WRX) in America is over 20 years old now, and its impact on the performance car space when it came out was huge.

That, combined with the fact that many fast Subarus got driven to death, means clean (and unmodified) examples like this one are increasingly difficult to find and will be in higher demand as nostalgia starts to kick in for Subaru acolytes. The result for this “Hawkeye” generation STI is about twice its original MSRP, and it’s not likely to ever get cheaper.

Lot 203: 1951 Allard K2

Sold for $50,400

Chassis no. 91K1846. Red over tan leather piped in black. Older restoration, #3- condition.

Equipment: 331cid Cadillac V-8, 3-speed manual, side exhaust, wire wheels, Dunlop Road Speed tires, wing mirrors, Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel, engine-turned dash, wind wings.

Condition: One of a little over 100 K2s built. Unremarkable history but good equipment. Older brightwork. Mostly good and shiny paint with some chips and cracks around the hood. Crack in the top left corner of the windshield. Worn seats and carpets. Severe cracks in the steering wheel. Clean older restored chassis. Needs cosmetic attention, but appears to be a solid car underneath, and any Allard is both interesting and rare.

Lot 273: 1994 Honda NSX-R

Sold for $362,500

Chassis no. NA11200106. Championship White with black roof over black cloth. Original, #2- condition.

Equipment: RHD. 2977cc/276hp V-6, 5-speed, white wheels, factory cassette.

Bottom line: An attractive car, but one that’s seen some driving compared to other examples we’ve seen for sale. Looking back, the market hasn’t changed much for these cars. Over the past couple of years, NSX-Rs that have been driven are mid-$300,000 cars, while low-mile perfection costs significantly more. This one proves that the best ones will sell for eye-watering prices, and the rest are very consistent despite their rarity.

Lot 285: 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4

Sold for $2,562,500

Chassis no. 09657. Giallo Fly over black leather. Cosmetic restoration, #2- condition.

Equipment: 3286cc/320hp V-12, 5-speed, Borrani wire wheels, Michelin XWX tires, Ansa exhaust, wood-rim steering wheel, original air conditioning.

Condition: Marcel Massini report, cosmetically restored by Legendary Motorcar Company. Very good paint, brightwork, and bodywork, only needs a slight adjustment to the trunk lid. The engine compartment and underbody are well restored but require minor detailing to be spotless. The interior shows minor usage after restoration. A pretty restoration that has seen moderate use since completion.

Bottom line: Enzo-era Ferrari prices have mellowed over the past year or so, but this number is appropriate in the current market and given the age of its cosmetic work. And although prices have softened for these cars, the last time this one sold—in Scottsdale back in 2008—it brought $1,155,000.

Lot 218: 1962 Shelby Cobra 260 Roadster

Sold for $1,545,000

Chassis no. CSX 2003. Old English White over red leather. Visually maintained, largely original, #3+ condition.

Equipment: 260cid/260hp, 4-speed, wire wheels, Pirelli Cinturato tires, wind wings, wood-rim steering wheel, Smiths gauges.

Lot 144: 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Prototype “Stealth”

Sold for $1,022,500

Chassis no. WDD1994761M999920. McLaren Orange with a black top over black leather and Alcantara. Original, #2 condition.

Equipment: 5439cc/650hp supercharged V-8, automatic, black wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

Condition: Represented with 11,500 km (7200 miles), as the last SLR Roadster built and the only one in these colors. Shown at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed and driven there by Lewis Hamilton and Pedro de La Rosa. In McLaren’s Heritage Collection until heading to its first and only private owner in 2015. In the U.S. under “Show or Display” status. Well kept. The paint and exposed carbon are crisp and clean. No visible age or wear inside. “Stealth” is a weird name for a bright orange convertible.

Bottom line: In general, the McLaren SLR hasn’t appreciated into the seven-figure realm like its somewhat more exotic 2000s peers from Porsche and Ferrari, but this one’s specs, build date, and history brought a top-dollar result.

Lot 303: 1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom V James Young Sedanca De Ville

Chassis no. 5VE21; Engine no. E10PV. Blue and ivory with beige painted cane work over ivory leather piped in black up front and blue leather in back. Older restoration, #2- condition.

Equipment: RHD. 6230cc/220hp V-8, column shift automatic, wheel covers, whitewalls, wing mirrors, Lucas fog lights, added air conditioning, division window, clock and cabinets in back, power windows, rear radio controls, seven-passenger seating.

Bottom line: This Rolls sold here in 2022 for $134,400, in 2023 for $121,000, and was a no-sale at Mecum Glendale earlier this year at a $120K high bid. Typically, repeat auction appearances in a short time span don’t do a car many favors, but there are exceptions to every rule, and this coachbuilt limousine is going to what is hopefully a new long-term home at a healthy, middle-of-the-estimate-range price.

Lot 112: 1984 Lotus Etna

Sold for $224,000

Chassis no. 909001. Pearl White over brown leather. Enthusiast restoration, #3 condition.

Equipment: RHD. 4.0-liter “Type 909” V-8, 5-speed, alloy wheels, Goodyear Eagle tires, tinted engine cover and removable roof.

Condition: The prototype of a Lotus model that might have been but never was. Decent paint with a few cracks. Some swirl marks and scratches on the roof and engine cover. Some warping on the plastic trim around the shifter but mostly good interior. Tidy underneath. An unusual one-off brought to running condition but not overly restored, and a cool piece of Lotus history.

Bottom line: The Etna might have sat above the Esprit in the Lotus lineup, and promised a new V-8 engine (at a time when the Esprit still used a turbo four) as well as traction control, noise-canceling technology, and potentially the active suspension system Lotus was developing for F1 at the time. The creased, wedge-y styling looks as ’80s as Gordon Gekko’s cell phone, but its shape, penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign, was all the rage in the middle of that decade.

It debuted at the 1984 British International Motor Show to a positive reception, but after GM bought Lotus in 1986, the project was shelved and it wasn’t brought to running order until it passed into collector ownership years later. The sale price here is well under Broad Arrow’s quite reasonable estimate, but $224K still makes it one of the most expensive Lotus road cars ever sold publicly.

Lot 141: 2005 Maserati MC12 Stradale

Sold for $5,202,500

Chassis no. ZAMDF44B000012095. Bianco Fuji and blue over Blu leather and gray cloth. Original, #2- condition.

Equipment: 5999cc/624hp V-12, paddle-shift 6-speed, Bridgestone Potenza tires.

Condition: One of just 50 MC12 Stradales and just 62 MC12s total, $70,000 service in July 2025 by GTO engineering. Represented with 11,563 km (7185 miles). Excellent paint and body with no visible damage. The interior shows only minor upholstery stretching to the driver’s seat. A well-preserved and very seldom-seen MC12.

Bottom line: Based on the Ferrari Enzo and aimed at the FIA GT Championship, which it won, the MC12 is far and away the most desirable car to wear Neptune’s trident this century. With so few built, only a handful have sold at auction, but this is a record-setting price for an MC12 that landed squarely in the middle of the estimate range and is roughly $1.4M higher than the next most expensive result for one of these homologation specials.
