Due to a lagging PC and recovery from a jam-packed weekend including Volkfest 2025 in downtown Goderich, Ontario - Canada’s prettiest town, we’re running late on our usual report run this week and will add the Motorcopia Forward Index to the Motorcopia Newsletter and website as soon as we complete the posts.
We also had the opportunity to join the crew with the Break/Fix Podcast earlier this week and we had a great time with great people and introduced the Motorcopia Market Intelligence Suite on-air. Podcast to follow here and at www.motorcopia.com as soon as it’s published.
In the meantime, the collector-car market is enjoying solid support and positioning itself nicely for Q4 2025 and the early-2026 auction schedule. Here’s this week’s updates:
Solid Market Heading into Q4 2025
Smooth seas—or the calm before Q4? This week’s Motorcopia Market Pulse™ lands at 5.93/10 (Neutral/Hold) as Artcurial and Hampson kept Europe’s live sales humming and a $350k Entegra Cornerstone RV on BaT reminded everyone that demand is still there - if the story and spec are right.
Verdict: Why the Ferrari Testarossa Still Deserves a Spot in Your Collection
Motorcopia’s latest dual-model analysis shows rare alignment - revealing the flat-12 Ferrari’s investment outlook, condition-adjusted value, and real-world risk factors. A must-read for serious collectors and advisors.
Ferrari Testarossa 1984‑92: our data‑driven Motocopia ValueScope™ valuation tool just rated it BUY/HOLD - here’s why this “poster car” icon demands collector attention.
If you're looking for an iconic, gated-shifter Ferrari with serious poster-car presence and proven upside in driver or excellent condition, the Testarossa is worth a close look. Just be prepared to pay-to-play - the long-term market story is strong, but ownership costs and parts availability must be factored into your strategy.
🚨 Black Swans on the Wing - What Could Crash the Collector Car Market in 2025?
Considering all the contentious news, we’ve broken one of the “golden rules” of days gone by and identified 7 major “Black Swan” risks that could stall auction sales, freeze credit, or shift generational demand. One of them is closer than you think. Get the story here.
