Handsome, charming and talented, he caused heads to turn and hearts to break. Producers profited from this fabulous image by keeping him busy in one film after another. In 1963, he starred with Jane Fonda in Les Félins (Joy House), in which René Clément weaved him into a Machiavellian plot. The following year, he appeared with Shirley MacLaine in La Rolls Royce jaune (The Yellow Rolls-Royce), in which he seduced a rich and beautiful marquise. The Ferrari shared these great moments with the celebrity actor and photos show him at the wheel of the Spider 2935GT, in the company of these two actresses, themselves stars admired worldwide. In 1964, Alain Delon and his wife Nathalie travelled to California. The actor had the car sent out so that he could enjoy driving it around the streets of Los Angeles. It must have been at this time that the indicator lights on the side of the front wings were changed to correspond with American regulations. Under the passenger seat we found the original round indicator lights in their box ! On the period insurance certificate, an original document supplied by the son of the third owner, an address in Beverley Hills is recorded by hand. No doubt the actor noted this information down for his insurance company. In a photo taken in the United States in 1964, the Ferrari California is spotted at a gas station, with Nathalie Delon, while her husband checks the tyre pressures. In another photo, the couple are seen in Los Angeles, riding in their car. 1965/jul -  Michel Maria Urman Automobiles, 40 bis rue Guersant, Paris, F 1965/aug/02 - Paul Bouvot, Paris, F - paid FF30,000.-; 37.000km   1965/aug/18 - registered on "6101 RU 75" "6101 RU 75" 1966/may - Robert Cooper, Paris, F (CDN)   1966/nov - ..............., Paris, F   1967/oct - .............., Paris, F (doctor)   1971/nov - Jacques Baillon, F "546 LV79" 2014/sep/30 - discovered by Artcurial   2015/feb/06 - Artcurial's Retromobile Paris auction Lot 059 - €9,500,000 - 12,000,000 Sold €16,288,000.- incl. buyer's prem. 2015/feb/06 - Tony Vassilopoulos, UK 2015/aug/08 Class M4 Pebble Beach Concours d´Elegance Tony Vassilopoulos M4-02 "4452" (MC) 2016/jan/23 Class 1960 1st Cavallino Classic Tony Vassilopoulos   "4452" (MC) 20.. - restored at Paul Russel 2019/may/23 Class 1960 1st Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza Tony Vassilopoulos 64 "SWB 455" (UK) 2023/sep/02 Class 1960 1st Concours of Elegance, Hampton Court Tony Vassilopoulos #1
