Now that is a car that I truly adore and so does Jeremy clarkson on the 599 F GTB test, this car has a special feeling and experience you dont tend to get from newer ferrari's which just feel normal rather than being special.
I like the fact that its simple and not very ugly compared to the newly released F-California GT F149.

A pretty car but this 250 GT is real Ferrari heaven.

He got into a bidding war and emotion got the best of him. That car is worth much less than that (Probably $6million). His inexperience with the market cost him there...but he probably could care less 
From a friend present at the auction, apparently the real hardcore collectors were shaking their heads in disbelief (even the seller of the car !!!)
Another detail about that California...it has a mismatched engine number that while the original type, is not the one that came with the car from the factory.

Clearly law school was a waste of time as well.The first thing I thought when I saw his pic was that he needs a dentist. He has the obligatory British grill. Maybe you guys can get together and he can trade you his $10M Ferrari for some custom dental work. Just be sure to have another bidder in your office when he comes in.
Oh well. He owns me in the car department. All the more power to him.
