Walworth, Wis. – December 11, 2025 – A collection that has already made
a massive impact on the car-collecting world with the announcement of
its upcoming offering is now set to turn up the excitement even further
by crossing the auction block at no reserve. The prestigious Bachman
Ferrari Collection, comprising 46 pristine and low-mileage Ferraris
with impeccable provenance and two Alfa Romeos, will take to the Mecum
stage on Saturday, Jan. 17, at The World’s Largest Collector Car
Auction(R) in Kissimmee, Florida. This is a once-in-a-generation
opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to bid on some of the most
coveted Ferraris ever seen together under the same roof. The Bachman
Ferrari Collection will join an estimated 4,500 vehicles slated for
Mecum Kissimmee 2026 this Jan. 6-18 and serve as a highlight of the
event alongside Bianco Speciale.
This prestigious collection originates from the estate of Phil and
Martha Bachman and traces its beginnings to 1984 with their purchase of
a brand-new 308 GTS Quattrovalvole [5] that remains in the collection to
this day. Over the next four decades, the Bachmans added roughly one
Ferrari per year to their stables, focusing on pristine, often
final-production examples, many of which they ordered new in a
factory-applied yellow finish. The Bachman Ferrari Collection today
presents as a breathtaking curation of high-performance Prancing Horse
masterpieces, with rarities and standouts that make it one of the
world’s preeminent Ferrari fleets. With all of it now slated to be
offered at no reserve in Kissimmee, this auction will be as historic as
the vehicles themselves.
From early icons like the 1953 Ferrari 166 MM [6] to modern legends such
as the 2015 LaFerrari and 2006 track-only FXX, The Bachman
Ferrari Collection captures the timeline of Ferrari performance,
innovation and design, and the standouts are numerous. For the full
lineup and more information on this prestigious collection, visit The
Bachman Ferrari Collection’s page on Mecum’s website.
