LONDON, 29 JANUARY, 2025:  
Collecting Cars, the world-renowned auction platform, has successfully sold a 1:1 scale wireframe artwork of the Porsche 934, created by artist Benedict Radcliffe, for an impressive £201,000* last week. This final sale price is over three times that of an iconic 930-series 911 Turbo**, underscoring the global appeal of this extraordinary artwork.

Reaching international bidders, the 1:1 wireframe model gathered over 6,000 views across its seven-day auction on Collecting Cars’ platform and saw 218 bids in that period. Sold to a collector in Asia, the winning price of £201,000 is over three times more expensive than a usable 911 Turbo of the same era**, or as much as a low-mileage example (£180,500 in February 2024) sold recently on Collecting Cars’ auction site***.

“The Porsche 934, in its Jägermeister livery, is one of the most iconic racing cars of its type, and this sale of the sculpture that it evokes, is one that will go down in the history books. It’s proof of the breadth of automobilia available on Collecting Cars and the power of our community and bidders on the platform. We can’t wait to see the sculpture in situ with our client in Asia – it’s going to be a great talking piece,” said Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars.

The hand-crafted wireframe sculpture, a meticulous homage to the legendary Porsche 934 racing car, captures the essence of its design in stunning detail. First seen in 2022 at Milan Design Week, the sculpture was showcased at the prestigious Larusmiani store on Via Monte Napoleone. It later travelled to Beijing and Shanghai, where it was exhibited in collaboration with Porsche China, further solidifying its international acclaim.

Collecting Cars continues to solidify its position as a leader in the global collector car market, offering rare and remarkable items that celebrate automotive excellence.

South West homeowners face seven-day waits for urgent repairs as tradie shortages continue to bite Fix Radio analysis shows the South West is among the slowest regions for urgent fixes, while Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the UK The South West records an average 7-day wait for an urgent tradie fix. Plymouth records one of the longest city-level waits in the dataset, at 10 days. Across the 17 cities surveyed, the average wait for an urgent fix is just over 6 days. CITB says the UK construction industry needs to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029. Analysis from Fix Radio shows that homeowners in the South West are facing an average seven-day wait for an urgent tradesperson fix, placing the region among the slower parts of the UK for repair response times. Based on Fix Radio’s analysis of city-level urgent repair wait-time data from Markel Direct’s Censuswide survey of UK homeowners, the findings point to continued pressure on trades capacity, local demand and labour availability across the region. The national picture remains highly uneven. The East of England records the shortest average wait at three days, followed by the North East on four days, the North West on 4.5 days and London on five. Wales and the South East each average six days, Yorkshire and the Humber sits at 6.5, while the South West, West Midlands, Scotland and Northern Ireland all come in at seven days. At the other end of the scale, the East Midlands records the longest average delay at nine days, leaving a six-day gap between the fastest and slowest regional averages in the dataset. The research also found that 44% of homeowners have already delayed repairs because of the cost of hiring a tradesperson, while city-level data shows waits stretching as high as 10 days in Plymouth for urgent issues. That makes the South West one of the clearest examples of how regional pressure can build when local demand, household repair needs and labour constraints begin to overlap. Set against a construction workforce already under strain, the figures point to a region where availability remains a growing issue for both customers and tradespeople. CITB forecasts that the industry will need to recruit the equivalent of 239,300 extra workers between 2025 and 2029, with the UK construction workforce expected to reach around 2.75 million by 2029. From Fix Radio’s perspective, the findings reflect a wider story around availability, local demand and the challenge of keeping enough skilled people in the pipeline. Waiting times are not only a sign of homeowner frustration. They also show where order books are full, where capacity is tight and where the wider conversation around skills and recruitment is becoming harder to ignore. In the South West, where regional averages are already above the national benchmark and Plymouth stands out as one of the slowest locations in the dataset, that pressure is becoming increasingly visible.
