    Ultra Rare Ferrari 250 California Spyders for Sale

    Anyone have $4-6 mill I can borrow

    Quote:
    At the second annual "Ferrari Leggenda e Passione" auction event that will be held on May 18, 2008 in Milan, Italy, RM Auctions in association with Sotheby will attempt to sell a pair of ultra-rare Ferrari 250 California Spyders. Regarded as one of the most valuable of all the road-going Ferrari models, less than 100 California Spyders were produced between 1957 and 1962 in a variety of specifications. The examples on offer - a 1958 LWB covered headlamp version (s/n 0923GT) finished in classic Rosso red, and a 1961 SWB version (s/n 2377GT) with coachwork finished in original Nero black - are estimated to fetch something between $4,000,000 - $6,000,000 USD.

    I had one before. The most beautiful work of automotive art ever made. Then my [beep] son and his smartass friend reversed it through the garage window and into the garden. The car was totalled.

    Are you Cameron Frye's dad, and was his buddy Ferris Bueller?

    I will never get tired of that movie.

    Ahem, to come back on topic, if I could afford it, you bet I would be looking at it. That car has everything: looks, sound, exclusivity.
    I'd probably be too scared to drive it, though.

    Hence the license plate in the movie: NRRVOUS (or something like that)

    I think you need a new prescription for your eyeglasses - that is one elegant car

    That is beautiful, what do you think Ferrari charged for these in the U.S. back in '58, maybe around 15k?

    Even though F250 is much better looking, I do see Racerx point.

    No way. Much more classic Jaguar than MG.

    Simply stunning.
