Clapton's first Ferrari was a 365 GTC, a car that started his love for these cars. Back in his 2007 autobiography, Clapton explains how George Harrison, his fellow rock star friend and and car guy, pulled up in a dark blue Ferrari 365 GTC. It was first time Clapton had seen one in person, and he explains in his book of it being love at first sight. "At that point, it was like seeing the most beautiful woman on earth and I decided there and then that even though I couldn’t drive, I was going to have one to," he says. Clapton, despite not being able to drive, bought the car off Harrison where it was eventually repainted silver before it was slathered again in white.

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Another one of Clapton's Ferraris, his second favorite car, is this Scaglietti that was produced in the very first decade of the 21st century. This four-seater has ample room to fit adults in the back seat, which is a rare thing for the Italian automaker, but of course, some enthusiasts complained that it was too mild to be one of Ferrari's classic cars. But under the hood says otherwise thanks to a V12 engine that pumps out 532-horsepower and can nab a top speed of 190 miles per hour.

1964 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso

This 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso is one of the most desired classic models from the Italian automaker, and they are hard to come by considering that only 350 were ever built. Clapton isn't shy to admit that this particular car is his favorite among his collection of cars. Considering the rarity and the amount of engineering and design that went into it, the 250 GT would cost a large chunk of change to obtain. We're talking 7-figure pricing before the decimal. In fact, the term Lusso in the model name translates to luxury in Italian. Powering this beauty is a V12 engine with an output of 240-horsepower.
