Ferrari - Ferrari 250 GT/E
The Ferrari GT/E was the 2+2 bodied model, using the long 2.6 metre wheelbase, as on the long wheelbase California Spyder, with the same specification 240 hp tuned engine. The extra interior space of the 250GT/E was achieved by pushing the engine forward in the chassis frame, to allow for the 4 seats. This Pininfarina built car was the backbone of Ferrari production, starting in 1959 and continuing to 1963, with some 1,000 units being produced. the 250GT/E can be easily confused with the later virtually identical 330 America, which was the same except for the larger 4 litre engine.
Ferrari 250 GT/E 2+2 tyre size was originally 185VR15, which Blockley produces an excellent example of, with correct tread pattern and speed rating. Owners fit this 185VR15 size as well as wider (but same diameter) 205/70VR15 size - see full details of these superb tyres at the links below:
