If the Ferrari 250GT California Spider is one of the rarest and most attractive cars ever built, then it’s of little surprise that they regularly command eight-figure money when making auction block appearances.
-Just a few months ago, we saw a ’61 SWB (short wheelbase) model fetch nearly $20 million in Paris, and there’s no doubt that RM Auctions is hoping to sell this thrice-restored 1961 250GT SWB California Spider for a similarly stratospheric price when it rolls across the block at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, later this month in Italy.

A total of 56 Ferrari 250GT SWB California Spiders were made, with the majority of them sold as exports to the United States. The car was designed as the ultimate gentleman’s racer, able to traverse the roads of Milan as well as the corners of Monza. This immaculate, numbers-matching 1961 model spent the entirety of its life in Europe and will surely demand top-tier coin due to its open-headlight design, a trait bestowed upon only 16 of the SWB California Spiders.
