Meta Luxury Dreams : The Ferrari 250GT California Spyder SWB That Possesses You


How would you like to own a car that’s a luxurious work of art. A piece of history, an example of exquisite craftsmanship from a company that has a proven pedigree of focusing on high performance cars.

A Lot of people own a Ferrari, but only 55 in this world own a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder SWB. It really is extremely rare. It truly is meta luxurious.

The Spyder from the Back


The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Short Wheel Base) California Spyder was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, power came from 2,953cc Colombo V12 engine pumping out 280bhp. It has a top speed of 150 mph, a 2400mm wheel base, and looks to die for. It was also the first batch of Ferraris that had disc brakes.

It has been repeatedly named as the most beautiful car ever made. Like Faberge eggs, California Spyders combine rarity and timeless, eye-searing beauty that's perfect in proportion.

It is also highly unlikely that any two of the above 55 cars will ever be the same as they were factory customized and hand crafted for their owners.

The Most Beautiful Car Ever Made


Ferrari's were custom built cars. They were not mass-produced. Ferrari provided the engine and chassis while Italian coach builders provided the body. This meant the specifications varied. Engines also varied in horsepower rating, torque, and displacement. This was no different for the 250 GT which saw many different variations in body style and body types.

On May 18, 2008, 1961 250 GT SWB Spyder California chassis GT 2377GT was sold by RM Auctions in association with Sotheby's for 6.4 million Euros, or $10,894,400 (at then-current exchange rate, including bidder's premium), setting a new world record for the highest price ever paid for an automobile at auction. The buyer ? U.K. radio personality Chris Evans.

The question is not whether you should have this car but, whether you can ever manage to get hold of one….

The Art of Timeless Luxury


Money is an illusion... On its own it's nothing, just a figure, a piece of paper or plastic. Money changes form at the whims of its owner like magic.

Money is only as intelligent as its master.

 If the illusion works well, it gives warmth, pleasure and timeless elegance and if it goes wrong it is crude,vulgar,horrid and distasteful.

You could be rich...Maybe even richer than rich but, when you use the power of your money, do you end up buying something only because it's the most expensive or limited edition? Does that make it the best?

I am not here to sell you anything or even tell you to buy anything, but I am here to just show you what your money could do..the timeless elegance of things, a service that you dreamed of or an object of desire that you didn't know existed but for which you would give an arm and leg because you know that the joy of owning it would warm your heart and live on in generations of your lineage.

Would you buy a car because it is gold plated and super expensive and then just leave it for the chauffer in the garage with maybe 50 others? Even if you are ultra rich I'm sure you would like something that makes YOU feel happy and special rather than a car or house that the neighbors say is special. When you are as rich as I hope you are, you are beyond throwing money for effect.

My objective is to bring to your notice products and services which might or might not be the most expensive in the world but will be better than the best.

The point being that money will stop being the variable and shall be assumed to be at hand and the satisfaction and happiness quotient shall be the prime driver.

Sometimes a bite of a Cadbury milk chocolate can give more pleasure than a custom made gold leaf covered Belgian truffle..

Be rich, get richer and be stylish, elegant, opulent, indulgent, and timeless but at no point think that the priciest is always the best.

It isn't and so you shall see...

I would appreciate it if you leave a comment to encourage me and drive my passion harder..
