1959 Ferrari California Spider Competizione - $10.84m

Created as an open-top counterpart to the 250 GT Tour de France Berlinetta, the California Spider was developed for the North American market. Between 1957 and 1962, Ferrari built 106 California Spiders on two chassis variants: a total of 50 examples on the original long-wheelbase (LWB) followed by 56 of the later short-wheelbase (SWB). Of the 50 examples of the LWB California Spider built, 10 were supplied in competition trim.
A 2,953 cc Tipo 128D SOHC V-12 engine developed 253 bhp at 7,200 rpm and is fitted with hi-lift cams and a four-speed competition gearbox. Chassis No.1235 GT retains its matching-numbers engine, gearbox and differential. Recently restored and painted with its original tricolor livery.
The car brought $10.84m.
