Comments: |
The 250 GT Boano has been delivered in Italy in 1956 to its first owner Piero |
| Volpi living in Milano/Italy. It seems that he kept the car until 1965 when it was | |
| bought by an Austrian new owner from Vienna. The car still carries its Austrian so | |
| called "Einzelgenehmigung" which is the old Austrian logbook still valid today. By | |
| this the history of our Boano is perfectly documented having had only four | |
| owners in Austria and up from 1999 just one owner in Germany who has kept the | |
| Boano in his climate controlled garage as an important piece of his famous | |
| Ferrari collection. |
| The Boano on offer represents with SN # 0505 GT the first 250 GT ever made at | |
| the works of Mario Boano. The "Number One" Boano carries some very | |
| interesting details compared to later cars. The roof line is lowered by another 2 | |
| cm, it is equipped with alloy inner fenders and has an earlier type of gearbox | |
| having been used for the Europa GT and early Tour de Frances. |
| The last Austrian owner commisioned a nut and bolt restoration in the late | |
| nineties to the famous and well known shop of Egidio Brandoli near to Modena. | |
| The interior work has been carried out at the most famous company Fratelli Lupi | |
| which was the original Ferrari supplier in the old days. The technical side of | |
| things have been done at Modena Motors. Although the restoration had been | |
| carried out in the nineties the 250 GT Boano looks still like a new car. |
| It received lately a major service in our workshop going through carburettors, | |
| ignition, changing fluids and carrying out some detailing work. I would say that it | |
| is today in near to new condition thoughout waiting for the next enthusiast to | |
| enjoy it. |
| The 250 GT Boano are marvellous collector items representing a part of the | |
| early Ferrari history. They were built up on the same Tipo 508 frame, the same | |
| Tipo 128 B engine, same suspension and same brakes as the more known and | |
| highly desirable Tour de France which were produced by Ferrari in the same | |
| time. |
| The Low Roof 250 GT Boano is elegible for most of the events on the planet | |
| and especially for the Mille Miglia. |
| With its very early serial number, its known history, its special features and | |
| being the first 250 GT Boano made it seems to be a great opportunity to | |
| aqcuire an important Ferrari. |
