1957 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider – $18,500,000
Part of a barn find, meaning someone found this 250 GT SWB in a barn, this Spider sold for $18.5 million in 2015. In this case, it was under stacks of magazines, rotting for all the world. This model was amongst some 100 vehicles previously owned by a French transport magnate. Of those cases, 59 were worth restoration, the California Spider amongst them. It was the highest sale in the history of the auction house at the time.
