NEW YORK (24 May 2019) – Sotheby’s and RM Sotheby’s launched a new series of online-only, single-lot automobile auctions with the sale of a 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 MKIII BJ8 for a final $92,000 in the first Online Only collector car auction ending on 23 May. Offered without reserve, the Austin-Healey well-surpassed its pre-sale estimate of $60,000-$70,000. Offered through Sotheby's newly developed digital auction platform, the car drew strong global bidding activity from day one of the nearly two-week auction. Beautifully restored by marque specialists and fully sorted, the numbers-matching Austin-Healey joins its new owner presented in its original combination of Ivory White over black, true to the way it left the factory, save for a couple of tasteful modifications.

Estimated to be one of just 963 produced, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet is finished in very desirable black with a black convertible top, color-matched removable hardtop, and an interior likewise upholstered in full black leather. The all-black color combination is accented by factory wheels with Porsche center caps and yellow painted calipers. The car presents very well throughout and shows just 13,400 miles on the odometer. With its rear engine design and all-wheel-drive application, it is capable of reaching 60 mph in less than four seconds, with a top speed of 190 mph. This model marks the final Turbo S Cabriolet available with a proper six-speed manual transmission, making it a true driver’s car, as the 911 was meant to be.
