May 23, 2008 It is perhaps appropriate that just a few days after Ferrari released details of its delectable new California model, that a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder should set a world record auction price of EUR 7,040,000 (US$10,894,900). No doubt buoyed by its celebrity provenance (it was formerly owned for 25 years by Academy Award winning actor James Coburn), the rare Nero Black covered headlamp Spyder caused a frenzy of bidding on the auction block before being purchased by UK Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans.
