In September last year we reported on the sale of Cameron’s house from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off but sadly the Ferrari featured in the film did not come with the sale. Now though you have the chance to own this Ferrari for just £30000-40000.
The car is an iconic vehicle from 80s American cinema and £40000 probably isn’t that much if you’re a huge Ferris fan. Imagine calling in sick to work and taking this Ferrari out for a drive.
The listing on Bonhams website has further details on the car:
Only around one hundred genuine 250GT Spyder California’s were created by Ferrari between 1958 and 1963. Existing examples are very rare and expensive so Paramount chose to commission and build a replica for filming purposes.
Styled by Pininfarina, the classic lines of the car combine elegance and aggression, and it ranks alongside the Lusso as the ultimate expression of the Ferrari 250GT family. It was also a highly capable competition machine, as was demonstrated by Ginther/Hively winning their class at the Sebring 12 Hours in March 1958 on their way to finishing 9th overall, and Grossman/Tavano finishing 5th overall at Le Mans in June.
If you’re interested head to Bonhams Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia auction at 11am on 19th April at the RAF Museum, Hendon.
