Broad Arrow Auctions' March 6-7 event at The Amelia 2026, held at the Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida, generated over $107 million in sales—its most successful since 2021—and set more than ten world auction records. The 2003 Ferrari Enzo led at $15.185 million, with strong results for Porsches and Ferraris. The weekend's concours d'Elegance awarded Best of Show to a 1931 Duesenberg Model J and a 1969 McLaren M8B.
The Amelia 2026, organized by Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), featured ideal weather, strong attendance, and a prestigious concours alongside Broad Arrow's high-stakes sale of classic and modern supercars, surpassing prior records for the 31-year-old Amelia Island event.
Topping results was a low-mileage, single-owner 2003 Ferrari Enzo in black Nero DS (450 miles, US-spec) at $15,185,000 including premium—the second-highest Enzo auction price. A 2005 Porsche Carrera GT (Gulf Blue paint-to-sample, 2,807 miles, one of 644 US-spec) set a world auction model record at $6,715,000, more than doubling the prior mark. A largely original 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV (under 18,300 miles, one of 13 split-sump US examples with factory A/C) fetched $6,605,000, a new model record and second-highest Lamborghini auction price ever.
Further records included a 1988 Porsche 959 Sport (US-market lightweight, 11,593 miles, Grand Prix White) at $5,505,000—the top for a regular 959; 2021 Ferrari Monza SP2 at $4,955,000; 2017 Ferrari F12tdf at $4,185,000; and 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder (non-Weissach, 352 miles) at $2,975,000. Additional standouts: 2001 RUF RGT world record at $335,000 and 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale at $912,500. Sales drew from notable collections including Wellington Morton and Bill and Patti Spurling, reflecting demand for modern classics evoking 'childhood memories' per Broad Arrow's Ramsey Pott. Auctioneer Lydia Fenet noted quick bidding on younger sports cars.
The March 7 concours crowned two Best of Show winners. Concours d’Elegance went to the 1931 Duesenberg Model J ‘Tapertail’ Speedster by Weymann (short-wheelbase chassis designed by Gordon Buehrig), owned by the William Lyon Family. Caretaker Bill H. Lyon said, “I haven’t been to The Amelia Concours in 12 years, but the Hagerty team welcomed us with great hospitality... winning the show was icing on the cake.”
Concours de Sport honored the 1969 McLaren M8B (chassis no. 2) of Mouse Motors, Chicago, undefeated in 11 1969 Can-Am races with a 7.0-litre Chevy V8 over 630 bhp. Mike Marzano noted, “Our goal was to bring awareness to this car’s story... The event is great for collectors and enthusiasts alike.”
