A little bit of Hollywood cool glamour that ended up in Britain.

James Coburn with his 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, and the same Ferrari today. The original owner took delivery in Brussels in 1961, with the color being Nero Black. Coburn bought the Ferrari in 1963 and owned it until 1989. During Coburn's ownership, he repainted it three times, first dark blue, then silver, and finally burgundy. It has since been returned to its factory color, Nero Black. In 2008, former Radio 1 Dj and "Top Gear" host Chris Evans bought the car at auction for a reported $11,000,000. What Evans didn't know is that the Ferrari didn't have its original engine under the hood. Evans sold the car in 2010 for about half of what he paid for it two years earlier. That owner had the car for sale again as of March of this year. Coburn had a pair of Ferraris in the 1960s, his other one was a 250 GT Lusso. James Coburn, James Garner, and Steve McQueen all starred together in "The Great Escape" in 1963. All three bought Ferraris around the same time and would drive in unison around the Hollywood Hills

1960, 250 GT SWB California

The 250 is one of the most legendary series of cars in Ferrari history.

Between 1952 and 1964, the company released 21 different 250 models—seven for racetracks, 14 for public roads—of which the “Cali Spider” might be the most well regarded, thanks to its potent V-12 and a Pininfarina-penned design that is one of the most beautiful bodies to grace an automobile.

The roadster, which was specifically built for the U.S., made its debut in 1957 as a long-wheel-base model (LWB), but it wasn’t until the SWB model debut in 1960 that it became clear how special it was.

This example isn’t just the first to roll off the line. It’s the actual car that was used to introduce the world to the model at the 1960 Geneva Motor Show.
