Equipment
2953/240hp competition-spec engine, 4-speed, Ansa exhaust, factory hardtop, Borrani wire wheels, woodrim steering wheel, tools.
Condition
Desirable short wheelbase (SWB) California Spider with competition-spec engine and hardtop, and it was the very first SWB California Spider built. Shown at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show. Never offered publicly for sale before. No major paint or chrome issues, but there is some road dirt underneath as well as light but visible wear to the seats. An important, gorgeous car.
Market commentary
And the most expensive car of the week. Another SWB Cal Spider failed to sell at a $13.5M high bid and a few of the week's other big cars failed to meet reserve. $17M is clearly more money than most can fathom spending on a car, but it's worth pointing out that this is only seventh-most expensive Cal Spider ever sold at auction and only the 20th most expensive Ferrari.
