Ferrari 250 GT Coupé (Boano/Ellena)

Compare the early Ferrari 250 GT Coupés built by Boano and Ellena, including the low-roof and high-roof forms and lightweight Boano coachwork.

What to check before buying

Seek period evidence for the builder, roof profile, and body material. Compare road cars against the same coachwork and factory specification where possible.

A low-roof car described as lightweight alloy warrants records establishing both the Boano build and the original panel material.
