So remember in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when Cam accidently pushed the car out his father’s enclosed glass garage and destroyed it? Well, that didn’t really happen. See (above)? It’s fine. It was all movie magic. On April 19 the same Ferrari 250GT Spyder California will go up for auction at Bonhams Collectors’ Motor Cars and Automobilia. Besides being an awesome collectors item from a classic American film, what also makes this car special is that “only around one hundred genuine 250GT Spyder California’s were created by Ferrari between 1958 and 1963.” It’s rare. So rare in fact that director John Hughes and Paramount had to commission this special replica model. In other words, the buyer won’t be getting one of the original 250GT Spyder California’s…but it’s looks just like it and it was used in the movie! The car is “ready to drive” and estimated to go for £30,000-£40,000 (or about $46,000-$61,400). Happy bidding.
