The Ferrari 250 Platform has produced some of the most collectible
vehicles in the world. Only 55 250 GT California Spyders were
produced between 1959 and 1961 making this particular version one
of the most sought after variations of the 250 Platform.
With an estimated value exceeding $20M, these rare vehicles are
rarely seen and even rarely driven.
This amazing recreation started life as a 1964 250 GTE and retains
its original matching numbers engine and transmission and was
meticulously crafted by the late and renowned automaker, Chris
Lawrence who is well known in Ferrari circles for his concourse
condition Ferrari recreations.
Mr. Lawrence began by purchasing the donor factory Ferrari 250 GTE
2+2, valued at $500,000. It shared the same Colombo Tipo 125 V12
engine type as the 250 California Spyder. Mr. Lawrence then
fabricated an alloy body modeled from a factory built SWB
California Spyder. All original Ferrari factory parts for a SWB
California Spyder were carefully installed on the car, creating an
exact recreation.
Only original Ferrari parts were used in this build and the
attention to detail is such that this Ferrari will meet the
expectations of any Ferrari Collector. The production cost of this
vehicle was approximately $1.5M and was commissioned by noted
Ferrari collector Fred Burbank in 2002. This vehicle is such an
exact example that it was proudly displayed at Ferrari World in
Dubai.
There were only a handful of recreations built by the late Mr.
Lawrence and this example is absolutely pristine and drives
extremely well.
