Only 50 Ferrari 250 GT Ellena CoupÈ were ever Produced

Benefiting from the experiences of the race track…
The early Ferrari 250 GT road cars, designed by Pinin Farina, were produced in very small numbers. But by 1955 a publicity brochure described a new model as ìthe first series-produced vehicle benefiting from the experiences of the race trackî. The new model that this brochure described was the second series of Ferrari 250 GTs, which became known as the 250 GT Boano CoupÈ and 250 GT Ellena CoupÈ.

The Pinin Farina design was nearly unchanged but…
The manufacturing of the car was given to a new company owned by former Stabilimenti Farina and Ghia employee Mario Felice Boano and his partner Luciano Pollo. The Pinin Farina design was nearly unchanged but it would be the Boano name that would become synonymous with this car..

Ezio Ellena, third to produce the same design.
Boano built 66 of the Pinin Farina-designed coupÈs, which was considered a large number in Ferrariís early days. When Mario Felice Boano was asked to head the design department of FIAT, the Ferrari production was handed over to his son-in-law Ezio Ellena and the company became Carrozzeria Ellena, the third to produce the same design. Although the design was the same, all three coachbuilders had subtle differences.

ìhigh roofî vs “low roof”…
The first example to receive coachwork by Ellena was chassis 0679 GT. The Boanos version had a lower roofline, which prompted the commonly used terms ìhigh roofî for the Ellenas and ìlow roofî for the Boano-built cars. The Pinin Farina and Boano cars had quarter-lights in the side windows while the Ellenas did not. (The first few cars built by Ellena were identical in appearance to the ìlow-roofî Boanos, but these differences are evident on the remaining cars.) Construction of the Ellena fabricated 250 GT’s ceased by mid-1958. A new 250 GT model had been designed by Pinin Farina and they would produce it themselves; the names of Boano and Ellena would fade into Ferrari history. The chassis numbers for the Ferrari 250 GT Ellena models are listed below.
