The family that made Ferrari's name. From the early 1950s to the mid 1960s the 250 series used a 3-litre V12 in everything from elegant Pinin Farina coupes to the Testa Rossa, the short-wheelbase Berlinetta, the California Spider and the GTO. A mid-1950s car is one of the early GT coupes with which Ferrari began building road cars in series.
