Vehicle auction site Bring the Trailer sold more than 24,000 vehicles last year, but not everything on the site actually needs a trailer. Sure, some vehicles for sale need to be towed to a repair shop before they can be moved, but there are items available on Bring a Trailer—like car and driver, part of Hearst Autos—fits into your pocket. They’re mostly items from around the wider automotive world, though, and we’ve picked up some favorites that are currently on BaT, such as these non-automobiles currently on sale. Auction.
We’ll start with some pocketable items: four printed items Ferrari manuals and catalogs from the mid-1960s. These vintage printed items relate to the beloved Ferrari 275 large touring car, namely 275GTB, 275GTB4, and 275GTS. There are operation and service manuals, two spare parts catalogs, and 275GTS sales brochures. Printed in Italian, English and French, these second hand manuals come with a cloth bag with the prancing horse logo and a leather closure if you don’t really want to get rid of these pieces of automotive history. into your pocket. The current bid is $275, with seven days to go until the auction.
Moving on to the larger items we already have beautiful 3.6 liter F131 V-8 enginethe type used in another Ferrari, Modena 360. But this engine has yet to power any cars. In fact, it couldn’t because it was a showcase product without any internals, the kind that Ferrari must have used at some promotional events. The engine on display is fitted with Ferrari-branded red intakes, a non-working intake manifold and cylinder head, and other components. Whether a trailer is needed for this part depends on the size of your vehicle, but it comes with a pedestal-style display stand when it’s time to show off your new purchase. With just one week left until the auction ends on January 15th, bids are currently at $1500.
Away from the Italian stuff, we also find this pint-sized 1958 Land Rover Series II toy replica made in 2020. Toylander Series II karts really moving thanks to two 24-volt electric motors on the rear axle with a direct-drive transmission. While commenters on BaT complained about the lack of authentic details like an oil leak, the toy car comes with 8-inch steel wheels and the headlights, taillights and turn signals still work. The manufacturer says the fiberglass body is about 63 inches long and 29 inches wide, big enough for one adult and two children. The Toylander Series II has a top speed of just 5 mph. The current bid is $1200, and while there’s still some room for higher bids, you can get new Toylanders like these for around $2000.
Finally, in our non-auto BaT recap, we’ve got something from the other end of the size spectrum: a Freightliner Unimog Fits a detachable hydraulically operated front loader. Originally a U.S. military vehicle—it is still painted in camouflage—this Unimog was overhauled in 2005 and underwent some maintenance in 2022, including the replacement of the boom cylinder. force. Labor tools including hydraulic chainsaws, hammer drills and pavement cutters are stored in the storage cabinet on the right side of the vehicle. We’ll see where this ends on January 15th, but Current bid is $10,666.
