Ferrari 250GT Pininfarina Coupe (1958-61) Engine 2953cc V12 DOC Production 335 Registration Number 502 XVR (Manchester) FERRARI ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/72157623665054999/ The Ferrari 250GT was the companies first volume production car, beginning with the 1953 250 Europa with only some 20 cars built. Before the advent of the Europa, Ferrari had built road-going coupés and convertibles in small numbers, usually to special customer order using a sports-racing chassis as the basis. Ghia and Vignale of Turin and Touring of Milan were responsible for bodying many of these but there was no attempt at standardisation for series production and no two cars were alike. Needing series production to stabilize his company’s finances, Enzo Ferrari asked Pinin Farina to design a simple and classic 250 GT coupé. Pinin Farina’s Grugliasco plant expanded and now had the capacity to produce the new 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina. It was introduced at Milan in 1958, and 335 near-identical examples were built by 1960. Buyers included Prince Bertil of Sweden. The GT Coupé eschewed the fender vents for simple, clean lines and a notchback look with panoramic rear window. The oval grille was replaced by a more traditional long narrow look with protruding headlights. Telescopic shock absorbers were also fitted instead of the Houdailles on previous 250s, and disc brakes were added in 1960 Diolch am 98,584,001 o olygiadau gwych, mae pob un ohonynt yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi'n fawr.
