250 Right?

Saw this this morning at the Irvine meet. 250 I believe. Some $3mm car out for a drive. Beautiful.

I looks like a long wheelbase 250, say a '57 or so, although I can't really tell for sure from the photos - tried to blow one up and lost the detail, but the slight tailight "fins" give it away, at least to me -- nearly all the short wheelbase 250s built a bit later had a smoother rump. My knowledge is limited though, maybe they built a few with that rear. The LWB 250 is one of my favorite Ferraris. Love the lines.

Thank you.

No doubt about it. LWB 250 coupe. This one doesn't have the bumpers (they came from the factory with them), but is gorgeous.

I'm not so sure that isn't a 250 TDF (Tour DeFrance). Though I'm no expert......

As I understand it the TDF was pretty much standard LWB 250 but with the sstreamlined headlights, etc. I think it the most desireable LWB 250, even though the convertible (the original California, which came without or without the streamlined leadlights depending on year) is by far the more sought after now.
