This 3000GT is very special. It has 452 miles on it, which makes it highly desirable, as low mileage cars tend to be. However, this is also an MSO vehicle, meaning it is technically a 0 owner vehicle. Whoever wins this car at auction will become the first owner. Furthermore, this specific 3000GT is a VR-4, the most powerful of any 3000GT built. It sports a DOHC 24-valve V6 engine with twin turbos making 320 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. The 1997 to 2000 models got visual upgrades including a new aggressive front bumper, head lights, turn signals, sail panels, and a true inverted airfoil spoiler coined the “Combat Wing”. The inside of this 3000GT has been maintained just as well if not better than the exterior of this car. The black leather seats are the only things that show signs someone has even sat in the car before. The seats are lightly creased from use. Everything else looks to be in excellent condition. The dashboard looks spotless, but the steering wheel looks like it might have a scuff mark on it. There’s still a dealership tag hanging out of the glove box and there is still plastic on the floor of the back seat. It probably still smells like a new car too.
The Market by Bonhams, the online classic and collectible motorcar marketplace, is now live across the US.
How it Works – The bidding process is simple: would-be bidders register with their credit card details and are immediately able to bid. Automatic bidding is offered where bidders enter their maximum bid in advance. Winning bidders pay a 5% deposit to The Market by Bonhams and then agree payment terms with the seller before collecting their new vehicles.
No Buyers fees and a flat 5% Sellers’ Commission – the lowest in the industry – are the key benefits offered by The Market by Bonhams to US clients from launch. The Market by Bonhams US will be headed by General Manager Caroline Cassini supported by US-based consigners and the wider Bonhams motoring team.
Bonhams Motoring 24/7 – The introduction of The Market by Bonhams in the US marks the latest development in Bonhams Motoring’s ‘always on’ strategy, with its highly successful and prestigious live sales at Amelia Island, Quail Lodge and Scottsdale, complemented by the platform’s daily online auctions, allowing clients to buy and sell collectors’ cars on a 24/7 and global basis.
