October 2026

THE RESERVE REPORT

September’s market was defined by dispersion: mileage, factory specification and replacement difficulty created dramatically different outcomes inside the same model families.

October 2026 · Data through September 30

Executive Read

The latest broad-market monthly aggregate remains August. September’s model-level transaction tape is current through month-end and shows a collector market increasingly unwilling to pay one generic price for every example.

September public-sale range.

Latest broad-market aggregate

August remained the latest full monthly dataset at the October 1 cut-off.

CLASSIC.COM reported $1.01B in August auction sales, up 51% year over year, with a 75% sell-through rate and $166K average sale price. We keep that aggregate separate from September’s transaction-level observations rather than presenting partial September data as a full-month market total.

Signal 01

Mileage is a multiplier.

The Pista Spider and GT2 RS both showed six-figure spreads inside the same model family. Low miles alone are not enough, but low miles paired with rarity, originality and specification can create a separate tier.

Signal 02

RNM is useful — but it is not a sale.

The 812 GTS reached a $710K high bid, the F12berlinetta $555K and the Senna $1.976M without meeting reserve. Those bids help locate demand, but should not be treated as closed comps.

Signal 03

Specification can overcome mileage.

PTS, Extra Range paint, heritage liveries and meaningful factory packages continue to create price separation that generic valuation guides often miss.

Methodology

Sold results and high bids are tracked separately.

Public transaction sources include Bring a Trailer, Hagerty Valuation Tools, CLASSIC.COM and major auction houses. “RNM” means reserve not met and is shown as price-discovery context, not as a completed sale. Data cut-off: September 30, 2026.
