The collector car market: Review of 2025

January 2026. Despite an unfavorable economic and political climate, classic car auctions found their audience in 2025, with a notable increase in the number of vehicles offered and sold by auction houses affiliated with Interencheres. The strong results achieved in the year-end sales and the rise in hammer prices confirm the market's maturity and the major trends that have been taking shape since the start of the decade. With buyers becoming ever more demanding, vehicle authenticity and conformity to original specifications remain key criteria driving competitive bidding. Among the eleven seven-figure sales recorded in 2025, sports cars led the way, with racing pedigree and the name of a renowned driver standing out as reliable benchmarks of value. The year 2025 also marked significant shifts in the hierarchy of the 911 range, as bidding favored once-overlooked models such as the SC, produced between 1976 and 1982, and the 996, produced between 1997 and 2005. With the arrival of new generations of collectors, more recent sports cars from the 1990s and 2000s achieved strong results, often significantly exceeding pre-sale estimates. Finally, the success of Automobilia sales continues, with sustained bidding for the genre's enduring standards, particularly authentic enamel signs. […]

The year also stood out for strong results achieved by high-end replicas. Finally, online auctions marked a turning point: for the first time, setting aside the Covid years, they accounted for the majority of transactions. […]
