Q1 2026 Market Context

Key market trends informing
this report’s selections.

Alfa Romeo GTVs

Hagerty 2026 Bull Market List pick. Values surging as 911 buyers seek alternatives — #2 cars now $105K.

Air-cooled 911s

Cooled 15–30% from 2022 peak per Jalopnik. Buying window open — long-term trajectory firmly upward.

Porsche 944/968

Emerging collector segment. Sub-30K-mile cars drawing serious attention. eBay Motors Blog featured as rising star.

Mercedes Pagodas

Softened 15–30% from 2023. Comprehensively restored examples now accessible — strong arbitrage window.

930 Turbos

Matching-numbers early 3.0L cars vanishing from market. Bonhams Paris 2026 confirms strong demand.

993 Carreras

Last air-cooled 911 — stable floor. Hagerty predicts SC may soften but 993 holds firm. Entry at £48K.

10 Opportunities

Color

Rosso Alfa

Condition Summary

Florida-based private seller car. Sub-65K miles with solid mechanicals. Driver-quality example — not a concours restoration but an honest, usable classic. Moderate cosmetic wear consistent with age.

Why it’s a good opportunity

Hagerty placed the 1969–1974 GTV on its 2026 Bull Market List — values are rising fast as air-cooled 911 buyers seek alternatives. Restored GTVs now command $53K–$55K, and #2 condition examples reach $105K. At $12,900 this is a fraction of European market value, with enormous upside for a dealer who sources, details, and resells in Italy or Germany.

3.0L Turbo Flat-6

Gearbox

Mileage

Color

Dark / Black Interior

Condition Summary

Matching-numbers original 3.0 turbo engine. Described as 'exceedingly neat' by Gallery Aaldering (Netherlands). Straight body with perfect paintwork, no damage. Pristine VDO gauges. Only modifications: European headlights and slimmer bumper guards.

Why it’s a good opportunity

Early 3.0-litre 930 Turbos are the rarest and most collectible of the air-cooled turbo lineage. At €180K from a respected Dutch dealer, this sits well below the €210K–€280K bracket for comparable low-mileage, matching-numbers examples. The 930 market is tightening — sub-40K-mile cars are vanishing.

Condition Summary

Comprehensive restoration completed. Correct 14-inch steel wheels with chromed trims. Pagoda hardtop included. Birmingham, UK location — easy logistics for European buyers. Very presentable throughout.

Why it’s a good opportunity

The Pagoda has softened 15–30% from its 2022 peak, creating a buying window. This comprehensively restored 250 SL at £85K sits below the €115K–€145K European retail range. The W113 is a liquid, globally desirable classic — an enduring style icon that sells easily to collectors across Europe.

Engine

3.2L Flat-6

Gearbox

G50 5-Spd

Mileage

31,000 mi

Color

Guards Red / Black

Condition Summary

Low-mileage, well-preserved example. 3.2L naturally aspirated flat-six with the desirable G50 gearbox. Sub-32K miles is exceptional for a driver-quality car. Clean throughout with documented history.

Why it’s a good opportunity

At $87K for a sub-32K-mile G-body Carrera with G50 gearbox, this is competitive. Similar examples in Europe trade north of €100K, and the best reach €120K. The 1986 model year with G50 is the purist's choice — widely considered the sweet spot of the 3.2 Carrera range.

Guards Red

Condition Summary

Exceptionally low mileage for a 40-year-old car — essentially a time capsule. Manual transmission. Ohio-based, suggesting lower humidity exposure. Priced below the 944 market average of ~$23K.

Why it’s a good opportunity

The 944 is Porsche's most successful sports car by volume (163,000+ built) yet remains drastically undervalued versus the 911. At 26K miles, this is a preservation-grade example at just $16,552. Well-preserved 944s with sub-30K miles are beginning to attract serious collector attention — Hagerty and eBay Motors Blog both flag the 944 as a rising star.

Condition Summary

Clean example of the increasingly desirable 964 generation. 5-speed manual transmission — the most sought-after configuration. Targa body with removable roof panel for open-air driving.

Why it’s a good opportunity

964 Targas with manual transmissions are less common than Coupes, making this a relative value. Manual 964 Coupes routinely exceed $100K in Europe. The Targa variant offers the open-air experience that Southern European buyers prize, while trading at a discount to fixed-roof cars — a gap that is narrowing fast.

Classic Spec

Condition Summary

The S2 was the final and most refined 944 variant, featuring a 3.0L inline-4 producing 208hp. Cabriolet body adds open-air appeal. 61K miles indicates regular but not excessive use. Pennsylvania-based.

Why it’s a good opportunity

The 944 S2 Cabriolet was the last year of 944 production before evolving into the 968. 'Last year' models carry collector premiums. At $23,500 this is just above the 944 average, but the S2 Cab commands a meaningful premium. Comparable S2 Cabriolets in Europe sell for €28K–€38K — strong arbitrage potential.

Condition Summary

Absolute 100-point concours-level restoration by Early 911s (Germany). Stripped to bare metal and repainted in original factory Orange. 2.7L mechanical fuel injection engine fully rebuilt including Bosch MFI system. Immaculate throughout.

Why it’s a good opportunity

Only ~1,011 examples of the 2.7 MFI were built in 1974, making it one of the rarest and most desirable air-cooled 911 variants. Concours-restored examples by respected German specialists carry significant provenance value. At ~€225K, this sits below the €260K–€320K bracket for top-tier 2.7 MFI cars.

Classic Spec

Condition Summary

Well-maintained 930 Turbo with approximately 46,400 miles. Upgraded from original 4-speed to 5-speed manual — a highly desirable modification that improves drivability. Performance modifications present.

Why it’s a good opportunity

The 1988 930 Turbo is the penultimate year of the iconic widebody turbo. Comparable examples at Bonhams Paris 2026 were estimated at €100K–€140K. The 5-speed swap actually adds value for driving enthusiasts. At ~$95K, this is priced below European retail where 930 Turbos are in strong demand.

Color

Aventurine Green

Condition Summary

Rare Aventurine Green specification — a highly desirable factory color. Manual 6-speed gearbox. Well-documented service history. UK-registered, simplifying EU import logistics.

Why it’s a good opportunity

The 993 is the last air-cooled 911 — a landmark model. Base Carrera manuals at £48K–£52K are the entry point, sitting well below the Turbo (£105K+) and RS (£280K+). Market analysts predict air-cooled 911s may soften 10%+ in 2026, but long-term trajectory is firmly upward. Buying now locks in value before the next surge.
