Ferrari California 30, called 31 Aug 2026.

A 2012 Ferrari California 30 running on Collecting Cars out of Fyshwick, ACT — Bianco over Nero with contrast stitching and carbon-fibre inlays, 51,082 kilometres, Australian-delivered and first registered September 2012, VIN ZFFTJ65D000188493.

Until 12 August 2026 this record carried no Australian transaction whatsoever. It now carries exactly one: $149,000 at Wollongong, New South Wales, a 2011 car at 42,400 kilometres in Rosso Corsa over tan with four dated Ferrari Adelaide services, last serviced December 2021. That sale normalised to $137,900 against a carried base of $138,000, which is as close as this library has come to a base being confirmed by the market rather than reasoned into place.

It is a year newer. It has covered 8,682 kilometres more, which at this record's 1.4 per cent per 10,000 kilometres is worth about minus 1.2 per cent. It is Bianco rather than Rosso Corsa, and this record pays plus 4 for Rosso Corsa and nothing for Bianco, so the colour line alone hands four points to the Wollongong car. And its service file is materially the stronger of the two: nine dated Ferrari entries from June 2013 at 6,455 kilometres through to August 2025 at 49,382 kilometres, against a comparable whose last recorded service was December 2021.

Minus 0.9 per cent for 51,082 kilometres against the 45,000 this record expects. Nothing for Bianco. Plus 4 per cent, JUDGEMENT, for the California 30 specification: 30 kilograms out and 30 horsepower in over the standard F149, which this record does not price because it describes the standard car at 338 kW and this one is the uprated 490-horsepower version. Plus 3 per cent, JUDGEMENT, for a continuous franchised service file ending four months ago. Minus 1 per cent for the disclosed condition - a professionally repaired dashboard and minor marks and creases in the cabin. Net plus 5.1 per cent, or $145,038. Called at $145,000.

The seller states the balance of a transferable Ferrari Power15 powertrain warranty runs until August 2026. This call is dated 31 August 2026 and the lot closes on or about 7 September. On the listing's own dates the cover expires before the winning bidder takes delivery of the car, so it is worth nothing to a buyer and is priced at nothing here. It is the single clearest thing in this advertisement that a bidder could misread in the seller's favour.

The VIN is published, the PPSR shows no security interest, and NEVDIS returns no written-off or stolen marker. Carbon-ceramic brakes are fitted, which were standard equipment rather than an option on this model and are therefore priced at nothing, but their condition is a five-figure question on any Ferrari of this age and the listing does not date them.

Six bids by six users: $10,000, then $55,555 and $56,055 within an hour, then a jump to $95,000, $95,500 and $96,500. Standing at $96,500 with seven days and one hour left, against 432 views. The $40,000 step from $56,055 to $95,000 inside an hour is the shape of two bidders arriving at a reserve rather than a market finding a level, and nothing at this distance from the close constrains the call.

This record has run $165,000 in 2016 to $138,000 in 2026, and internationally 97 lots clear 67 per cent overall but only 48 per cent since 2024. Against that, the one Australian result came in ABOVE the carried value. The call sits between the two: above the base because this car is better specified and better documented than the local comparable, below that comparable's hammer because it is dearer on distance and cheaper on colour.

This record describes the naturally aspirated F149 and specifically excludes the twin-turbo F149M, which sold at Broadbeach in May 2026 for $219,500, roughly 60 per cent above the naturally aspirated car. A reader comparing this lot to that one is comparing two different cars. Predicted hammer $138,000 to $152,000, midpoint $145,000. Buyer's premium of six per cent plus GST applies on top, capped at $12,100 including GST, so a $145,000 hammer is about $154,570 to the buyer. Closes on or about 7 September 2026.

$136,500 from 43 bids with about ninety minutes to run, six per cent under the call and just below the $138,000 floor of the published band. The last ninety minutes on this platform routinely move a lot by more than six per cent, so nothing is settled. The call does not move.
