DJ Chris Evans broke a new auction record at the weekend by spending £5.6million on a stunning black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider.
The car had previously belonged to actor James Coburn and was for sale at RM Auctions' second annual 'Ferrari Leggenda e Passione' auction event in Maranello, Italy.
A relaxed-looking Evans attended on Saturday with his wife, golf pro and writer Natasha Shishmanian.
The radio personality was said to have fallen for the car while at the auction and in the end his bid of $10,894,900 exceeded all expectations.
The sale surpassed the previous record set at Sotheby's Monaco in 1990 for a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO at $10,756,000.
The 250 California was estimated to sell for just half that price.
The annual RM Ferrari auction held in association with Sotheby's, put under the hammer a hugecollection of historic Ferraris at the legendary home of Ferrari in Maranello.
