On 25 April 2026, the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa again draws the international Porsche community as Broad Arrow returns as the official auction partner of Air|Water for a third consecutive year. Set within one of California’s most engaging marque-dedicated weekends, the sale has quickly established itself as a highlight for collectors who value focus, provenance, and an understated confidence in presentation.
Broad Arrow continues to distinguish itself through a thoughtful, highly selective approach to consignments. Rather than relying on spectacle, the house has built a reputation for carefully composed catalogues that speak directly to knowledgeable collectors. Its partnership with Air|Water feels entirely natural. The event celebrates every chapter of the marque’s story, from early competition heritage to modern performance icons, attracting enthusiasts whose interests extend well beyond familiar headline models.
This year’s auction presents more than sixty motor cars alongside an intriguing selection of design objects and memorabilia, offering a portrait not simply of a manufacturer, but of a culture.
Among the headline consignments is the 1990 Porsche 911 Coupé reimagined by Singer, known as “Lindsey,” expected to draw international attention with an estimate of $1,000,000 to $1,300,000. Singer’s restorations occupy a singular position within the collector world, pairing period-correct aesthetics with modern engineering precision in a manner that resonates equally with drivers and connoisseurs.
Equally compelling from a motorsport perspective is the 1983 Porsche-Kremer CK5 Group C endurance racer. With its unmistakable stance and direct connection to one of the most evocative eras in prototype racing, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a serious competition machine from the marque’s golden age of long-distance success.
Later air-cooled excellence appears in the form of the 1998 Porsche 911 Turbo S WLS2, one of the most coveted iterations of the 993 generation and widely regarded as among the most complete forced-induction road cars ever produced.
Earlier history is represented with characteristic elegance through two Porsche 356 A 1600 Speedsters from 1957 and 1958. Few automobiles remain so closely associated with the romance of West Coast motoring, and their presence feels entirely at home within the atmosphere of the weekend.
The catalogue extends across several generations of performance highlights, including a 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, a rare Carrera 4S WLS 3.8 from 1997, and a 2018 911 GT3 Touring offered without reserve. A 2019 911 Targa 4 GTS introduces a more contemporary note, reinforcing the breadth of the offering.
Beyond the motor cars themselves, the sale includes a considered selection of marque-related objects that reflect its influence far beyond the road. A striking pair of large Pegasus sculptural statues offers a dramatic focal point for a collector’s garage or architectural interior, while original dealership crest pylons from the 1990s provide an unexpectedly nostalgic reference to showroom heritage.
Smaller but equally engaging pieces include collections of dashboard and model badges that trace the evolution of the marque’s design language across decades, alongside two Porsche Evolution FS bicycles from the late 1990s and early 2000s—quiet illustrations of a longstanding interest in performance engineering beyond the automobile.
Perhaps most unexpected is a 1970s Porsche Arova 212 skibob, an eccentric yet compelling reminder that the marque’s engineering curiosity has never been confined to four wheels.
Preview hours take place on Friday, 24 April, and the morning of the sale, with the auction itself beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, 25 April. Standing admission remains open to the public, while seating is reserved for registered bidders and their guests.
Set within the wider Air|Water weekend yet distinct from it, the Broad Arrow Porsche Air|Water Auction offers something increasingly rare: a carefully shaped sale devoted entirely to a marque whose influence extends as naturally into design culture as it does into motorsport history—few others move so effortlessly between the two.
