Broad Arrow’s second Zoute Concours Auction grossed €35.6m on October 9, 2026, with 91 percent of more than 90 lots selling. Registered bidder numbers increased by 44 percent compared with its inaugural Zoute sale in 2025, while Broad Arrow described the result as the highest total yet achieved by a collector car auction in Belgium.
A 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari led the Broad Arrow Zoute Concours Auction 2026 at €5,181,250, becoming the most valuable collector car yet sold at auction in Belgium. It was followed by a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package at €3,212,500, a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT at €2,762,500 and a 2015 McLaren P1 at €1,890,625. Further notable results included €647,500 for a 1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack, which Broad Arrow said set a new auction record for a V8 Vantage Coupé, and €411,250 for the Volkswagen W10-engined 2000 BMW M5 formerly used by Ferdinand Piëch. Let’s take a closer look at the cars.
This 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari was the highest-priced car at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale, and its €5,181,250 result made it the most valuable collector car yet sold at auction in Belgium. It had been estimated at €4m to €5m. Chassis 208220 was specified through Ferrari’s Atelier programme in Grigio Ferro Metallizzato with a Nero DS roof. Broad Arrow estimated that around 2.5 percent of the 499 LaFerraris produced were finished in this colour. Its specification also included the carbonfibre exterior package, matte-finished wheels, aluminium-finished brake calipers, Nero leather, four-point harnesses, suspension lift and Ferrari Telemetry.
The car was delivered new in Belgium through official dealer Monza in Sint-Martens-Latem in February 2015. It remained with its original Belgian owner, and was serviced within the Ferrari network at 3720km in February 2016, 5093km in January 2017, 9322km in February 2019 and 12,930km in June 2025.
Following the original owner’s death, the LaFerrari remained in Belgium. During testing in July 2026, an elevated temperature reading was detected in one cell of the high-voltage battery. Ferrari subsequently authorised replacement of the complete battery pack under the LaFerrari Power Warranty, with the work completed in August 2026. The car was serviced again at the same time, when its mileage stood at 13,069km.
This 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package was the second-highest result of the Broad Arrow Zoute sale. Number 142 of the 918 examples produced, it was a German-market car ordered in Individualfarbe Sport Classic Grey, a Paint to Sample colour originally created for the 997-generation 911 Sport Classic. Broad Arrow’s research identified it as the only European-delivery 918 finished in the colour. Its interior was ordered through Porsche’s Leather to Sample programme in Espresso with matching piping, while the €60,000 Weissach Package brought magnesium wheels and a series of weight-saving components.
Further factory equipment included front-axle lift, the Carbon Fibre Interior Package, Burmester High-End Surround Sound and six-point harnesses. The car was originally delivered through Porsche Zentrum Düsseldorf.
Its service history included inspections at the two, four, six and ten-year intervals, with much of the work undertaken by Porsche Zentrum Stuttgart. Porsche Centrum Gelderland carried out the ten-year inspection in March 2025 at 15,416km, including an oil service and replacement spark plugs.
It returned to Porsche Gelderland in September 2026, when €35,000 was spent on work that included a PDK transmission service, air-conditioning service and replacement windscreen. By the time of the auction the 918 had covered 18,870km. Estimated at €2.6m to €3m, it sold for €3,212,500.
This 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was the third-highest result at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale. Carrera GT number 1056 was completed on September 22, 2005 for the German market and finished in Guards Red with a Dark Grey leather interior. Broad Arrow stated that just 80 of the 1270 Carrera GTs produced were finished in Guards Red, representing 6.3 percent of production. Its factory specification included the wider XT driver and passenger bucket seats, manual air-conditioning and Porsche Online Pro CD radio with BOSE sound system. The first owner collected the car from Porsche’s Leipzig factory on October 12, 2005.
The car remained in Germany throughout its life and passed through four recorded German owners. Its most recent long-term keeper retained it for nearly 15 years and added only around 1000km during that period. A 41-page inspection report prepared by Carrera GT specialist Jochen Bader in May 2026 confirmed that the car retained its original Guards Red paint, engine and transmission. Its service record showed regular maintenance at Porsche Zentrum Stuttgart between 2009 and 2025. In April 2025, at 20,353km, Porsche Zentrum Stuttgart completed the APA3 suspension recall campaign, together with an engine service and replacement battery. By the time of the Zoute auction the odometer showed 20,423km. Estimated at €2.7m to €3.3m, it sold for €2,762,500.
This 2015 McLaren P1 was the fourth-highest result of the Broad Arrow Zoute sale; number 352 was one of only two examples delivered new in Belgium. Finished in McLaren Special Operations Storm Grey, it was specified with the Stealth Pack, Visual Carbon Fibre and Gloss Carbon Fibre exterior components, Silver-painted Lightweight wheels and a Carbon Black Alcantara interior with carbonfibre racing seats. Its options totalled almost €50,000. Completed on April 24, 2015, the car was delivered to its first and only registered owner in Brussels. It retained the Belgian registration P1 from delivery through to the auction.
The McLaren was maintained exclusively by McLaren Brussels, with regular fluid changes despite covering very little mileage. Its most recent service was carried out in July 2026, when the high-voltage battery was tested and recorded at 92 percent capacity. The owner used the car periodically for short journeys but had covered only 293km by the time it was catalogued. Broad Arrow stated that it had never been driven in rain and had not been conventionally washed with water, instead being professionally detailed throughout its ownership. It also remained on its original factory tyres. Estimated at €1.4m to €1.8m, it sold for €1,890,625.
This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing was the highest-estimated car at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale that failed to find a buyer. Chassis 198.040.5500564 was completed on July 25, 1955 and shipped to Switzerland five days later through the Zürich Handelsgesellschaft. It left the factory in Silver Grey Metallic with a Blue vinyl interior and Blue Plaid seat inserts, and was specified with Rudge wheels and the NSL engine incorporating sport camshafts.
The earliest recorded owner, dating from at least the 1960s, was Hans Huwyler, proprietor of Touring Garage in Lenzburg. The Huwyler family understood that he had acquired it from a doctor in Bern for CHF4500. By then the car had been repainted green, reportedly by Mercedes-Benz, with its original silver paint remaining underneath. Huwyler recorded its mileage, maintenance and journeys through the 1980s and used the Gullwing primarily for holidays and recreational driving.
In 1994 his son Johannes exported the Mercedes-Benz to California, where it remained until returning to Europe in 2006. Mercedes-Benz specialist Ben Valkenburg and his son Bart then acquired it and brought it to Belgium. Under Valkenburg’s ownership it appeared at several concours, taking First in Class at Mercedes-Benz Classic Days in 2007 and further awards at Salzburg, Brooklands and Schloss Dyck. At cataloguing the odometer displayed just over 72,000km, with the surviving mileage records indicating an actual total of approximately 172,000km. The car retained its matching-numbers engine and body, original belly pans and factory lead seal around the fuel filler. Estimated at €1.7m to €2m, it returned home to its vendor.
This 1997 Aston Martin Virage 6.3 Volante Wide Body was the car that exceeded its high estimate by the greatest percentage at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale. Chassis SCFDAM2C4RBL60131 was originally built as a left-hand-drive Virage Volante in January 1994 and delivered locally in Long Stratton, England. In 1997 it returned to Aston Martin Works Service, where it received the 6.3-litre engine conversion and Wide Body treatment. The Works conversion also incorporated uprated suspension, AP Racing brakes and 18-inch OZ wheels. The car was repainted in Porsche Midnight Blue Metallic and fitted with a Dark Blue mohair hood, Parchment leather upholstery, Alcantara headlining and Dark Blue carpeting. Its owner was living in Bad Homburg at the time, and the Aston Martin was also converted to German-market specification.
Broad Arrow’s research suggested that it was the only left-hand-drive Virage 6.3 Volante Wide Body fitted with a manual transmission. Just 24 Virage Volantes were converted by Aston Martin Works with both the 6.3-litre engine and Wide Body package. Recorded servicing continued through 2015, when the car was based in Belgium and maintained by Aston Martin specialist Noble House Classics in the Netherlands. It passed to a Dutch collector in 2022 and was acquired by its French consignor in April 2026. Fewer than 18,000km were showing at the time of cataloguing. Estimated at €100,000 to €150,000, it sold for €264,500, its hammer price 53.3 percent above the high estimate.
This 1968 Porsche 911 L ‘Soft-Window’ Targa was the sold car that fell furthest below its pre-sale low estimate at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale. Chassis 11860271 was completed on May 25, 1968, finished in Blutorange with a black interior. Its factory specification combined the folding plastic rear window with the single-year 911 L specification, and it retained its matching-numbers engine 3080552 and five-speed transmission 3282294 at the time of sale. The Porsche was sold new through MAHAG in Munich to Walter Hartmann. Its original order and sales paperwork was dated June 18, 1968, when the purchase price was DM24,328.70.
Hartmann retained the car for 57 years. More than €100,000 was spent on maintenance during that period, according to the accompanying invoices. By the time it was catalogued for Zoute, the 911 remained in its original Blutorange and black colour combination and retained its original drivetrain. Broad Arrow also described the car as being in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition following its long-term ownership. Offered without reserve at an estimate of €150,000 to €180,000, it sold for €109,250.
This 1990 Monte Carlo Automotive Centenaire was one of the more unusual cars in the Broad Arrow Zoute sale catalogue, having begun life as MCA’s first development, testing and presentation chassis.
Originally identified as chassis 001, the car was the first Centenaire produced and was fitted with a 5.2-litre Lamborghini V12 and ZF six-speed manual transmission. It was initially finished in Ivory White with a red leather interior, reflecting the national colours of Monaco. Broad Arrow also stated that it was one of the original three Centenaires built with Lamborghini V12 power.
After completing its development and presentation duties, the car was redesignated EL0002 and remained at Lamborghini’s Sant’Agata Bolognese factory for around ten years. It was subsequently gifted to Monte Carlo Automotive founder Fulvio-Maria Ballabio in the early 2000s. The Centenaire was refinished in blue around 2007 and appeared at Rétromobile that year alongside the Lamborghini Pregunta concept. Its later owner acquired it in France in 2014. Approximately two years later, the bodywork was restored by Établissements Lecoq and returned to its original Ivory White, while the red leather interior was retained. At the time of cataloguing the odometer showed 1560km, although Broad Arrow noted that the car was likely to have covered additional mileage during its development period before the odometer was reset for private ownership. Estimated at €900,000 to €1.2m, it sold for €821,875.
This 1987 Aston Martin V8 Vantage X-Pack set a new auction record for a V8 Vantage Coupé. Chassis SCFCV81V2HTL12572 was dispatched from Aston Martin on May 13, 1987, built in left-hand-drive form for the West German market. It left Newport Pagnell finished in Cannock Black over Black leather with matching Onslow carpeting and was specified with the five-speed manual transmission. Its factory build sheet also recorded left-dipping headlights and side repeaters for European use. The car retained its matching-numbers V580X 5.3-litre V8, which produced 432bhp using four Weber carburettors, high-compression Cosworth pistons, larger valves and revised camshafts. It was one of 137 factory-built Series III X-Pack Vantages.
At some stage the Aston Martin was exported to the United States, where it remained until 2016. It returned to the UK that year and underwent a major refresh in 2017. Further recommissioning was carried out in France during 2024 and 2025, with more than €17,000 spent. Work included rebuilding a hub carrier and steering arm, overhauling the brake and clutch hydraulics, rebuilding the air-conditioning system, fitting a new water pump and overhauling the carburettors. Estimated at €300,000 to €400,000, it sold for €647,500 at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale.
This 2000 BMW M5 Volkswagen W10 Prototype was used by Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piëch during development of the company’s experimental W10 engine. The donor E39 M5 was built on March 2, 1999 before its original V8 was removed and replaced with Volkswagen’s experimental naturally aspirated 5.0-litre W10. The all-aluminium engine produced 473bhp and 437lb ft and was coupled to a six-speed manual transmission. Traction control, stability control and ABS were disabled, while the W10 ran through its own standalone ECU.
According to Sabine Willeke, who led the engineering team, only three W10 engines were produced and this was the only one installed in a road car. She also stated that Piëch used the Carbon Black M5 as his personal transport during development. Broad Arrow said the project was conducted outside Volkswagen’s conventional R&D operation at Piëch’s instruction, with the consignor putting its development cost at almost €2m. Piëch reportedly used temporary registration plates while testing the car. Its total mileage could not be established because the standard BMW instrument cluster had been replaced by a Stack display without an odometer.
The consignor acquired the M5 through engineering-industry contacts around a decade before the sale and subsequently registered it for road use in Slovakia. It continued to be driven and was most recently serviced in 2025. Estimated at €250,000-€350,000, it sold for €411,250 at the Broad Arrow Zoute sale.
