Ferrari 250 Europa
How to distinguish the Lampredi-engined Ferrari 250 Europa from the later Europa GT, and what to check about its original coachwork.
What to check before buying
Check the original engine type and body attribution against period records. A later replacement engine or body changes the comparison with another Europa.
A Europa advertised as an Europa GT deserves two separate checks: the factory engine type and the wheelbase evidenced by the chassis record.
