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.

A Truly Elegant and Timeless Ferrari

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….

So you like cars….don’t you?

Fancy, Expensive, powerful and super luxurious. Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche they are all lovely, especially with custom made interiors and expensive optional toys. But they are what you might say “very popular” amongst the wealthy and rather common due to their popularity. That might really be an over simplification of my view but read on and you will understand what I mean.

Now picture this.

Red Carpet Scenario 1:

The Venue is a special event at a very exclusive club full of rich celebrities and well known personalities. The car of choice turns out to be either the Ferrari FF or the Porsche 911. Both, extremely beautiful cars and top performers too. But, when it comes to the red carpet yours is the fourth in line after the crowd have seen the same model in white and yellow color. The point being that even though both the above cars are really popular super cars but they may not necessarily be meta luxurious, they are smart and cool but not necessarily timeless and awe worthy.

In simple words… when style and panache is what differentiates between the rich and the meta rich you need to have something that makes people go “Wow!!” and not just say it but see it, feel it and ache to own it. It has to be something so attractive that its brilliance is timeless and runs through generations.

 Scenario 2:

The same venue….the same people….the same paparazzi…but a different car…

When you drive up in a meta luxurious car like the “Eagle Speedster E Type Jaguar” which looks like this….

I leave the reaction to your imagination. I hope you had the same kind of reaction too. The crowds will gather and attention will be diverted from far more expensive cars and shiny hoods. People will just walk up in admiration of this beautiful piece of machinery and believe me it has remained timelessly elegant since the day it came out.

It is not the fastest or the most expensive but it sure is smart, chic,educated luxury. A car that will come in your dreams and will live on for generations, giving warmth to the heart whenever you see it and drive it.
