I took this photograph at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992 where there was a special display of Ferraris in the paddock numbered 1 to 32, and a page in the programme of the event gave details of each of the cars. Unfortunately all that the note for number 8 says is 'California'.
It is a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, a shorter chassis version of the earlier LWB car, and has the 2,953cc Gioacchino Colombo designed V12 engine. This car is chassis #2377GT which was owned for a long time by Hollywood film star James Coburn, and between 2008 and 2010 by Chris Evans.
