Some personal highlights from Historics May Sale

Ref 37 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce JT

The first of Alfa Romeo’s Bertone styled coupés, the 1.6 litre Giulia Sprint GT, was launched in 1963. Mechanically the stylish new 2+2 was much the same as the Giulia TI sports saloon, featuring a five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, coil-spring live rear axle and disc...

This would be perfect if it were red. And a different set of wheels.

The wrong auction for that car.
Especially as no-one noticed it had a solid roof.

Ref 35 1991 Porsche 928 GT JT

Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and it was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic, and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car...

I love a 928. The first Porsche I had a poster for.

Nothing major on the Mot history other than steering rack boots and they are no more than £15 Porsche Boxster items.
Probably a very good buy.

The problem I find is that it wasn’t long ago when everything on the list was between £3k and £13k. And they’re all daft money now.

Do like a w140 there’s a film with George Clooney that has one in a brilliant chase.

Actually it's not quite that bad.... And I'll elaborate on why i think the 928 GT is a screaming bargain right now....

Completely coincidentally.... Mainly because I'm considering putting my own GT into auction, i started researching recent 928 GT auction prices....

Glenmarch only goes back to 2015 or so.... And there'd be plenty of private sales etc they're not tracking... But there were less than 300 rhd GTs produced from new... So 20 sales is a statistically significant data set.

That data set shows in 2015 to 2017 sale prices of 24750, 27140, 33040 and 49500.

Whereas in the past 2 years we have sales of 19980, 20813 and 42750. Moreover, a higher percentage of no sales, despite low reserve prices.

I get that the auto is a perfectly fine version of the 928..... From a driveability perspective, but not a collectible perspective. In which case you either go first model 4.5ltr with teledials and pascha interior, or the unicorns such as GT, CS, SE or GTS 5spd.

With an SE recently selling for mid 6 figures, and every GTS 5spd moving from mid 50s to mid 80s now... The GT is screaming value imho. Even the relatively abundant s4 autos have probably increased 4 fold in the past 8 years, but that simply isn't the case for the GT. The S4 is now creeping up to the GT price threshold, so it wont be long before the GT starts to head north I'd think. It's long overdue.

Using my patented supra barometer.... About 8 years ago you could buy 4 to 5 1993 twin turbo auto supra for the price of one good 1991 928 GT. Now you'll spend more on the auto supra. This surely is an abberation...

How dya like them apples...

Last week an otherwise plain but neat, low klm ho hum 928 S4 automatic sold for almost 50k gbp here in Melbourne, Australia. It had equivalent of 75k miles, and a decent but not spectacular service history.

Now that is a ludicrous price. Which is why 928 GT prices seem so reasonable to me right now....

Manual 928s are brilliant things. The actual gearshift isn’t, in of itself, brilliant (a bit vague and floppy, though that may have been the ones I’ve sampled), but the sheer act of self-shifting turns it into an almost super car experience.
