The Daily Vroom

Good morning, Vroomers!

Yesterday’s auction totals hit $7.7 million with an average sale price of $61K, well above the norm. A couple of heavy-hitting sales helped push the numbers higher, including a Ferrari 360 Modena that just sold for $2K less than its original MSRP from 23 years ago—proof that some cars aren’t just holding value, they’re cementing their place as future collectibles.

Below, I’ve broken down where the sales landed.

Sale of the Day

The 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena 6-Speed just sold for $155,000, only $2,000 less than its original MSRP from 23 years ago. That tells you everything you need to know about the staying power of a gated manual Ferrari.

This one ticks all the boxes—Rosso Corsa over Beige, a 6-speed gated shifter, and just 10,000 miles. If you’re looking for a modern Ferrari with old-school charm, this is it. The last of the analog mid-engine Ferraris, a naturally aspirated V8, and a manual gearbox make it one of the purest driving experiences you can still buy.

I think this price will look cheap in the coming years. Gated Ferraris, especially well-kept examples like this, are only going one direction—up. The 360 Modena is already following the same trajectory as gated 993s and F430s, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see these well into the $200K range before long. Whether you see it as a collector’s play or the perfect weekend car, it’s hard to go wrong with a 360 Modena like this.

Auctions To Keep An Eye On

The 1984 Lamborghini Jalpa is the under-the-radar bull for those who want vintage Lamborghini drama without the Countach tax. With only 410 built—just 100 in the U.S.—it’s rarer than a Ferrari Enzo and a fraction of the price.

Powered by a 3.5L V8 with a five-speed gated manual, the Jalpa delivers raw, old-school Lamborghini thrills but with better visibility and usability. This one, finished in Rosso Siviglia with its original black leather interior, has under 19,000 miles and a refreshed paint job.

The Jalpa isn’t just a forgotten gem—it’s the bridge between Lamborghini’s wild early days and its modern dominance. It’s a car that gives you the gated-manual, naturally aspirated experience without the Countach’s intimidation factor. A proper driver’s Lamborghini that deserves more recognition.

Show up at your local Cars and Coffee in this, and you’ll have people flocking to hear that V8 sing—because when was the last time anyone saw a Jalpa in the wild?

We just talked about the Countach, and boom—here’s one up for grabs. A 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary, and yes, I’m still not used to seeing BaT auctions in other currencies, feels weird.

This is the last hurrah for the Countach, tweaked by Horacio Pagani before he became, well, Pagani. Bigger scoops, sharper angles, all the excess of the ‘80s cranked up. It’s got a 5.2L V12, a gated manual, and just under 2,600 miles.

It’s in London now, had over £50k of work done, and is finished in the ultimate ‘80s spec—white over red leather. Some say the 25th Anniversary is overdone, but to me that’s the whole point.

No better car to end the week off than one I don’t think I’ve ever written about here. A classic Mini is already fun, but this 1990 Rover Mini takes it up a notch. Instead of the original A-Series engine, it’s rocking a Honda D16 swap with a five-speed manual—so yeah, it moves.

It’s finished in bright lime green, has Wilwood brakes, aftermarket coilovers, and a custom exhaust. Basically, it’s a pocket rocket with go-kart handling.

The seller used it for school runs before upgrading to a Porsche, and now it’s up for grabs. There’s some rust bubbling, a few misaligned panels, and the odometer’s been swapped, but if you want a Mini with serious attitude, this is it.
