It may not seem that impressive at first glance but Collecting Cars has successfully sold a 1:1 scale wireframe sculpture of a Porsche 934 at a recent auction. This becomes a bigger deal when you learn that it sold for an unbelievable £201,000! It gets even more interesting when you realise that the sale price is more than three times that of an actual usable 930-series 911 Turbo of the same era.
The sculpture was created by London-based artist Benedict Radcliffe and had over 6000 views and generated 218 bids during its seven-day auction. The winning bidder was a private collector from Asia and is now the owner of a piece of automotive art that pays tribute to the 934 race car known for its Jägermeister livery.
“The Porsche 934, in its Jägermeister livery, is one of the most iconic racing cars of its type, and this sale of the sculpture that it evokes, is one that will go down in the history books. It’s proof of the breadth of automobilia available on Collecting Cars and the power of our community and bidders on the platform. We can’t wait to see the sculpture in situ with our client in Asia – it’s going to be a great talking piece”
Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars
