As you all know, January wastes no time in launching the year long auction frenzy that begins at the end of the third week in Scottsdale and Phoenix. This year, examining Bonhams, Gooding & Company, and RM Sotheby’s, we find 57 Porsches offered, ranging from a 1953 Typ 356 Pre-A coupe supercharged within days of its initial purchase by its original owner, and culminating with a 2015 Typ 918 Spyder and 2016 911R. Unlike previous years and venues, there are extremely few Porsche racecars offered, the most important being Bonhams’ lot 044, the 1958 Typ 550A Spyder, an ex-factory entry with significant finishes.
