1957 Ferrari 250 GT Boano for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1957 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé Boano, chassis 0651 GT, was completed on 28 March 1957 and is offered by SuperVettura in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in the United Kingdom. It is a left-hand-drive car with a steel body, finished in red with a tan leather interior visible in the photographs, and it holds Ferrari Classiche certification. The dealer does not publish its mileage.

Delivered new to Mr Giles Richard in France, the car crossed to the United States in the 1960s and stayed until the late 1970s, when Mr Michelsen of London bought it; in 2000 it joined a private collection in Denmark, and it returned to the United Kingdom in 2019.

The Boano coupé grew out of the prototype Pinin Farina showed at the Geneva motor show in March 1956 to replace the 250 GT Europa. Short of capacity, Pinin Farina passed the bodies to Carrozzeria Boano, founded by Mario Felice Boano, formerly of Ghia, which built 74 cars on the 2,600 mm long-wheelbase chassis before Carrozzeria Ellena took over and raised the roof.

The 2,953 cc Colombo V12 sits at the front and is quoted by the dealer at 220 hp, while the model is usually rated at 240 PS. A four-speed manual gearbox drives the rear wheels; the body is 4,458 mm long, 1,676 mm wide and 1,346 mm high.

FAQ

This Ferrari 250 GT Boano in the European market

Can this Ferrari be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Sunningdale, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Ferrari 250 GT Boano, and how does a purchase work?

SuperVettura, a professional dealer in Sunningdale, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Ferrari 250 GT Boano be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Sunningdale, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Ferrari 250 GT Boano still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with SuperVettura before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Ferrari market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 250 GT Boano, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
