Sold for $18,553,009 (€16,288,000) at 2015 Rétromobile by Artcurial Motorcars.
This unrestored Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California was shown by the Ferrari importer Franco-Britannic Autos at the Paris Motor Show in 1961. During the second week of the show the Ferrari was bought by the actor Gerard Blain and then just six days after the Motor Show closed, he sold it to fellow thespian and French heart-throb Alain Delon who quickly took it to his home in Monaco. After many adventures with the car including a trip to California, Delon sold the car in 1965 and it passed through several owners until it was acquired by the now famous collector Jacques Baillon in November 1971. Baillon drove the Ferrari very little and like the majority of his cars, it was stored away, protected from the elements and bad weather.
