How much is this vintage Ferrari worth and what is the exact model?

There was one sold for just over 10million back in 08 by RM Auctions in Italy after auctions fee's. That was the highest one ever sold.
Maranello, Italy (May 18th, 2008) Car enthusiasts and Ferrari collectors from across the globe descended on Maranello, Italy this past weekend for RM Auctions' second annual "Ferrari Leggenda e Passione" auction event to witness a new auction record established for a 1961 Ferrari California Spyder formerlly owned by actor James Coburn. The rare car exceeeded all expectations by selling for a world record auction price for a vintage car at auction in the amount of $10,894,900 U.S., surpassing the previous record set at Sotheby's Monaco in 1990 for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at $10,756,000 U.S.
The annual RM Ferrari auction held in association with Sotheby's, put under the hammer an unrivalled collection of historic Ferraris at the legendary home of Ferrari in Maranello, Italy. Among the attendees was one extremely well known Ferrari enthusiast, and British television and radio personality Chris Evans. Chris, accompanied by his wife, golf pro and writer Natasha Shishmanian, attended the Gala reception on Saturday, May 17th where he fell for the considerable charms of a black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder. The following day, Chris made the successful bid for his dream machine, which will now take pride of place in his own celebrated collection and the honor of "the most valuable car sold in auction history."

Thanks Mo!
This sounds very accurate. It's not the normal 250 California that is worth so much.
That was for a different 250 California what I could see from images?

Correct model, driven one once. The 3litre V12 sings so beautifully! There are some non numbers matching cars to be had cheaper than other perfect example ones, and there are different models of 250 cabs catching videly different prices for ex. the SWB.

There are more, but they pretty much all hover around the $500,000 dollar mark. The cab is much rarer than the coupe, making it more expensive. The 250 California Spyder and the Series 1 however, are then again rarer than the series II, making those even more expensive.
