The 250 PF Coupe Registry
Introduction
Introduced in 1958, the 250GT Pininfarina Coupe represented Ferrari’s shift toward standardized production road cars, both to showcase the technology tested in racing, and to provide consistent income to support racing. The cars were elegant, understated, and luxurious, and were available as both open and closed variants. Fitted with the venerable 3-litre V-12, the 250 GT is in many ways the quintessential classic Ferrari, and with generous space for both passengers and luggage, PFs have always been excellent touring cars.
Series 1
The Series 1 Pinin Farina coupes were fitted with an inside-plug engine — the spark plugs were on the carburetor side on this version of the 250 engine. Early cars had a 4-speed transmission, drum brakes and lever shock absorbers.
Series 2
The original 128C 3.0-litre engine was superseded by the outside-plug 128F engine which did away with its predecessor's Siamesed inlets in favour of six separate ports. On the chassis side, four-wheel disc brakes arrived late in 1959 and a four-speeds-plus-overdrive gearbox the following year.
