Market commentary

The 275 GTS/4 NART Spider that crossed the Kissimmee block a few lots before this SWB Cal Spider was spectacular and consummately rare, but the SWB Cal Spider is far better looking, more balanced. It has a few fewer Italian ponies under the hood, but not enough to make any difference on the Colorado Grand or Tour de France retro. The top sale in this year’s Mecum Kissimmee auction, this is a deserved price for a beautiful, rare, open Ferrari.
