Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione - pictures

This is the 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione set to be auctioned in New York this December.

The Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione was originally bought to be raced in the 24hrs of Le Mans.

The model for sale, chassis number '1451 GT', is estimated to sell for between £10.7million and £13million – which would put it amongst some of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction.

Under the bonnet the vintage Ferrari has a 3-litre V12 producing 263bhp at 7,300rpm. 

When originally raced in 1959, 1451 GT had rolled off the production line just five days before hand.
