Ferrari Spyder sold for record price - to Chris Evans
The 1961 Ferrari California Spyder which once belonged to actor James Coburn has been sold for Euro 7,040,00 million, which is an all-time record for this model.
The car, an evolution of the 250 GT Tour de France, is one of the best-loved 12-cylinders ever built: it has a total displacement of 2953 cc, punches out 280 hp and features three carburetors. It was styled by Pininfarina, who also designed the latest addition to the Ferrari range, which was revealed online just a few days ago and has been named the California in honour of this special car.
The new Ferrari California, which will be officially unveiled at the Paris Show, is a 4,300 cc 8-cylinder model.
I think we all know by now that the buyer was one Christopher Evans, BBC Radio Two Drive Time host and publican.
No hard feelings at all, Chris. Well done, you’re worth it.
Mind you, he’s still a ginger.
