March 11, 2016 sees the sale of a stunning selection of cars from The Jerry Seinfeld Collection. The car will be sold at Amelia Island by Gooding & Company. What is really special about the Seinfeld collection of Porsches is that it doesn’t just focus in on one model or era but celebrates the history of the marque from the 50’s to present day.

“Mr. Seinfeld is recognized throughout the world as having acquired one of the finest Porsche collections ever assembled,” said David Gooding, President and Founder of Gooding & Company. “He has become known as the definitive Porsche connoisseur based on his passion and devotion to the marque. We at Gooding & Company share his reverence for Porsche and are proud to offer these truly incredible examples. This is a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire some of the finest Porsches ever to come to market.”

These cars will be sure to go for strong money as they are not just popular models, but cars with stories and history. The Carrera GT for example is the prototype car and the 917/30 Can-Am is the iconic Sunoco liveried car. The 1955 550 Spyder, is an unrestored vehicle with matching original chassis and engine numbers and just 10,300 miles on the odometer.

Each car has been carefully chosen for its story and authenticity and this is where the big sales figures are in the auction world right now. The rise in the popularity of classic cars has led to a flooded market place, but only the cream will rise to the top and Jerry Seinfeld will most certainly do very well from the sale of a beautiful selection of Stuttgart’s finest.

“Each one of these cars is a pinnacle of mechanical culture to me. Many are the best examples that exist in the world,” stated Jerry Seinfeld. “I’ve loved being entrusted with their care, and I’m proud of the level to which we have brought each and every one of these wonderful machines. Honestly, if I had unlimited time, space and attention span I would never sell one of them. And the reason I wanted to bid these cars farewell in this way is really just to see the look of excitement on the faces of the next owners who I know will be out of their minds with joy that they are going to get to experience them. My enthusiasm for this pursuit remains quite insane and I am very fortunate to have many other cars I get to look after.”
