Ferrari 250 GT Ellena

Vehicle Overview

The new series of cars from Carrozzeria Ellena will be known as the ‘250 GT Coupé Ellena’, and apart for some early examples, can be identified by a raised roof line and an absence of quarterlights. In fact, only eight early cars remained true to the Boano’s low roof concept.

Ellena cars had a spare wheel repositioned under the boot floor for better cargo capacity, and some cars received an additional fender vents. Other changes included a standard shift gate, as on some Boano cars the gate was reversed. Cabin heater was standard with no extras listed. Cars also received bigger brakes for everyday usability and stopping power. All high-roof cars upgraded their chassis and engines codes to 508C and 128C, respectively. Carrozzeria Ellena built a total of fifty cars before Pinin Farina took back its prime spot as a main coachbuilder.
