The Ferrari 250 is a sports car built by Ferrari from 1953 to 1964. The company's most successful early line, the 250 series included several variants. It was replaced by the 275 and later, the 330. These cars were the company's most successful early line, and over the years the 250 series included several variants.
The Ferrari 250 Europa was introduced in Paris in 1953 at the 40th Annual Paris Auto show. This was an entirely new design for Ferrari and it looked totally different than any previous model. With the long 110.2-inch wheelbase and Ferrari America-style bodies, it was designed specifically to be a Grand Tourer, unlike any previous 250. Both Pininfarina and Vignale handled the coachwork, and a mere 21 were made. This Europa Coupe is chassis number 0295 by Vignale.
In late 1953 Ferrari commissioned Carrozzeria Vignale to create bodies for two of the early 250 Europa chassis, and this car - the very first Europa - was shown alongside the new Ferrari 375 America at the Paris Auto Show, held at the Grand Palais. The 250 Europa was Enzo Ferrari's first real touring car, which had been suggested by his North American importer, Luigi Chinetti, to attract wealthy customers and finance the company's racing exploits. The 250 Europa was fitted with the new 3-liter V-12 engine designed by Gioacchino Colombo, which powered Ferraris for the next 10 years. Since its Paris debut, the coupe has spent its entire life in America, where it has been shown only at the second annual Ferrari Club of America meeting in May 1966. It was restored to its original condition between 2012 and 2015 and was then displayed for the first time in 50 years. The 2015 Pebble Beach Concours was only the third time the car had been shown in public.
