Bonhams returns to the exclusive Quail Lodge & Golf Club on 15 August, 2025, during Monterey Car Week—an intimate gathering celebrating automotive passion. Here are six incredible lots to watch, each with a tailored car-cover reminder to protect these rolling treasures.
1972 Jaguar E‑Type Roadster
A late Series III V12 drop-top, emblematic of Jaguar’s grand touring legacy. The E‑Type’s timeless lines were born in the ’60s and carried through into the early ’70s, blending elegance with performance.
1956 Ford Thunderbird
America’s first personal luxury convertible, the ’56 Thunderbird delivered style and comfort with a V8 heart. It established the genre and remains a symbol of 1950s cruising culture.
1972 Porsche 911 T 2.4 Coupe
A gently upgraded classic 911 with an efficient 2.4-litre flat-six engine, this model marked Porsche’s rise as a purveyor of sleek engineering and everyday usability.
Maintain its iconic curves with a custom Porsche 911 dealer-grade cover—perfect for any weather.
2001 Ferrari 456 M GTA Berlinetta
This GT coupe carried Ferrari’s natural-aspirated V12 into the 21st century, blending luxury with performance. The 456 M GTA refined its elegant predecessor with an automatic gearbox and refreshed styling.
1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
Introduced in the late ’60s, the Dino represented Ferrari’s celebration of the V6. Cherished for its mid-engine balance and sculptural aesthetics, the 246 GT remains a poster-car icon.
