Amazing how different it looks because of the two-tone and dark red.

Right country, wrong marque.

Looks similar to a mid 50s Ferrari 250 GT of some sort, but the roofline is wrong. The Pininfarina badge is easy to spot, though.

It's not as beautiful as a Pegaso.

Ooh ooh ooh, Ferrari 250 Europa?

That's what I'm gathering after some furious Wikipedia scanning...

EDIT: It has to be this !

No front-page fodder here. Just a 250 Europa set to auction in August.

Interesting. I hadn't seen that roof line on a Europa, only this:

The 250 Europa was the first major collaboration between Battista "Pinin" Farina and Enzo Ferrrari.

A 2800mm wheelbase chassis and 3-litre single overhead camshaft engine based upon the Lampredi designed Formula One V12 were used for the first series cars, the subsequent Europa GT's employing a 2600mm wheelbase frame and using a 3-litre Colombo V12.

20 Ferrari 250 Europa Coupes were created during the brief 12 month production run. 0341EU is the 11th of 15 Pinin Farina Coupes, and one of perhaps 6 or 7 with the 3 window treatment (1 Farina Convertible, and 4 Vignale Coupes finished out the series).

I was under the impression that Pininfarina built 16 examples and another coachwork built an additional 5 for 21 total.

It's been so long since I researched that, but I think I used multiple sources for the best guess on production numbers. I would suspect the one Convertible was the 16th Farina, and cannot explain the "6 0r 7" 3 window versions. Regardless, the Yellow Coupe was owned by the late Henry Haga, leader of GM Design Center's Chevrolet Studio in the creation of the Camaro. Ahh, long hood cab back design, gotta love it.
