Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 07 | Porsche auction lineup | Positive | +0.2% | Preview of April 25 Air|Water auction with high-value Porsche and RUF lots. |
| Mar 27 | Ferrari Monza offering | Positive | -2.4% | Announcement of rare Ferrari Monza SP2 consignment at Villa d’Este auction. |
| Mar 12 | Record Amelia sales | Positive | +4.5% | Report of $111M Amelia sales and 92% sell-through with record-setting lots. |
| Mar 09 | Largest auction to date | Positive | -2.7% | Announcement of Broad Arrow’s largest auction at Amelia with $111M total. |
| Mar 07 | Amelia day-two results | Positive | -2.7% | Closure of Amelia auction at $107M+ led by record Lamborghini Miura sale. |
Positive auction-related headlines often coincide with mixed to negative next-day moves; strong Amelia auction results saw both gains and notable selloffs.
Over the past month, HGTY-linked Broad Arrow announcements have focused on headline auctions and record results. In early March, Amelia Concours auctions delivered totals of $107M+ and then $111M, with a top Ferrari Enzo lot at $15,185,000 and multiple world records, yet shares moved between about -2.73% and +4.49%. Subsequent announcements, including a rare Ferrari Monza SP2 offering and the April 25 Air|Water Porsche sale with 50+ cars, also produced small, mixed price reactions. Today’s T.50 offering fits this pattern of premium auction news amid non-uniform stock responses.

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), is proud to present a unique opportunity—the first North American public auction of a Gordon Murray Automotive T.50. This very special single-car live auction is set for April 21 at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles, California, a stop along the journey of the celebrated California Mille tour, driven by Hagerty.
A portion of proceeds from the sale of this incredibly rare supercar will benefit both the California Highway Patrol (CHP) 11-99 Foundation, which provides emergency assistance to California Highway Patrol employees and their families, as well as McPherson College’s renowned Automotive Restoration Program in honor of its 50th anniversary.
Designed and built to be the world’s greatest driver’s car, the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 captured Top Gear’s Hypercar of the Year Award in 2023, when it was proclaimed “the best driver’s car in the world”. As the next astonishing supercar from the creator of the McLaren F1, the T.50 did not disappoint. The complete production run of just 100 cars was fully allocated ahead of its global premiere in August 2020, where the car’s incredible performance statistics were revealed: its 3.9-liter Cosworth GMA V-12 naturally aspirated engine produces 661 horsepower at 11,000 rpm with a maximum engine speed of 12,100 rpm. That power is driven through a six-speed manual transmission and boosted by active and fan-assisted aerodynamics, all boasting a sub-1,000-kilogram dry weight.
In a call-back to one of Gordon Murray’s most famous and short-lived technical inventions, the T.50 was designed with an integrated rearward-facing fan much the same as the 1977 Formula One Brabham BT46 “Fan Car.” All told, the 400-mm rear-mounted fan boosts underbody ground effect by 50 percent and provides a sense of technical and styling drama to a silhouette bereft of a deep front splitter, noticeable air ducts, and large wings.
Aesthetically, the T.50 boasts simple design, attention to detail, and of course, Gordon Murray’s signature center-seat layout. The car on offer at Broad Arrow’s unique auction on the California Mille, chassis number 009, is a U.S.-market example in bespoke Reef finish with satin and gloss carbon exterior details, complemented by Graphite Gloss wheels. The glass roof option was selected, and inside, the center driver’s seat is upholstered in Dune leather while both passenger-side seats were selected in Thruxton Blue leather and Athol Blue Alcantara. The motorsport-inspired dashboard is covered in matching Athol Blue Alcantara with Chromite Black leather atop the gauge pod.
“The T.50 is a supercar that not only was collectible before it was even built, but one that will go down in automotive history as a defining technological tour de force, much like its predecessor, the McLaren F1,” says Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist and Vice President at Broad Arrow. “All GMA models have been fully allocated ahead of their release, with the T.50 being the only model built while legendary F1 designer Gordon Murray had complete control of the company. We’re honored to present one of the most important road cars of the 21st century, and arguably the world’s greatest driver’s car, on the California Mille, an event that celebrates passion for driving on some of the country’s most beautiful roads.”
T.50 chassis number 009 is offered with a mere 27 miles on its odometer, reflective of light testing and delivery. The car is accompanied by a full complement of original delivery accessories, including a four-piece fitted luggage set, a serialized tool chest, a diagnostics tablet computer, two keys, owner’s manuals, and a photo album documenting the assembly of chassis 009. The T.50 is estimated to bring
Renowned race car driver, restorer, and collector, Bruce Canepa, alongside noted collector and founding board member of the CHP 11-99 Foundation, Bruce Meyer, will introduce the T.50, and Auctioneer Eli Rodriguez will conduct the bidding at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort. This year’s California Mille pays special tribute to the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, with five examples set to participate. The winning bidder of chassis 009 is invited to drive the car on the remainder of the tour following the sale on April 21, joining an exclusive club of nearly unobtainable ownership and otherworldly performance.
In-person, absentee, and telephone bidding will be available on the 2025 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50. A complete catalog listing on the car as well as bidder registration is available at broadarrowauctions.com. Interested bidders are invited to speak with a Broad Arrow car specialist by emailing info@broadarrowauctions.com or by calling +1-313-312-0780.
