Gooding Christie’s has achieved a new auction world record for a Ferrari California Spider with the $25.3 million (£18.7 million) paid for the 1961 example at its Pebble Beach sale.
The Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider Competizione also set a new record as the most valuable car sold by Gooding Christie’s.
Gooding Christie’s President, David Gooding, said: ‘Throughout my years in the auction industry, we have offered and sold incredible cars, but few can compare to the Ferrari California Spider Competizione, chassis 2383 GT, which set a new record for the Gooding team by surpassing $25 million on the very auction block where we’ve set countless world records in years prior.
‘We are incredibly proud of this milestone, achieved among several other major records, all which took place at our first official sale under the newly formed Gooding Christie’s brand.’
