Aside from all the glitzy stuff - this modern Alfa 8c looked good value for £123k. Yes it had mileage (!) - no the Glickenhaus provenance does not really affect value - but seemed like the cheapeast way to get into what must make a cool GT/daily smoker for the connoisseur - maser engine in these sound good too.

Gooding Christie's Achieves New Auction Record with $25.3 Million Ferrari 250 GT California Spider Competizione, Grosses over $128 Million at 21st Annual Pebble Beach Auctions
As the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® Gooding Christie’s concluded one of its highest-grossing auctions to date this past weekend at Pebble Beach, realizing over $128 million in total sales. This year’s results saw a 19% increase in total sales compared to last year’s figures, undoubtedly due to the higher volume of big-ticket blue-chip offerings spanning the exceptional catalogue, led by the top lot of the sale, the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider Competizione. Selling for $25,305,000, the California Spider Competizione set a new record as the most valuable car to ever be auctioned by Gooding Christie’s, as well as the most valuable Ferrari 250 GT California Spider to ever sell at auction – by a margin of nearly $7 million. Throughout the course of the two-day sale, Gooding Christie’s sold 153 lots, achieving a sell-through rate of 85%. 27 lots sold for over $1 million, and the average price per lot sold was $847,262, a 17% increase from the average price per lot sold at the same venue in 2024.
"The tremendous, record-breaking results of our 2025 Pebble Beach Auctions stand as a testament to what Gooding Christie’s never fails to do at this spectacular venue year after year in selling the world’s greatest collector cars to a dedicated and loyal network of the most esteemed clientele,” said Gooding Christie’s President, David Gooding. “Throughout my years in the auction industry, we have offered and sold incredible cars, but few can compare to the Ferrari California Spider Competizione, chassis 2383 GT, which set a new record for the Gooding team by surpassing $25 million on the very auction block where we’ve set countless world records in years prior. We are incredibly proud of this milestone, achieved among several other major records, all which took place at our first official sale under the newly formed Gooding Christie’s brand."
