The Ferrari 410 Sport Spider was one of the most significant purpose-built Ferrari “big block” sports-racing prototypes from the 1950s. The 5 liter engined beast of 400hp walloped all comers.

Chassis number 1077 GT is the final example to be made in 1958 and is the 14th of 50 LWB California Spiders manufactured.
