Ferrari, 375?

Definitely a mid-50's Berlinetta PininFarina... Trying to catch the right one...

Probably a 250 Testa Rossa from the late 1950s.

Seen on the picture : the white helmet seems to stand on the roof of the car.
The 250 Testa Rossa is a spider, not a berlinetta/coupé. BTW, the nose of the 250 Testa Rossa is different.

The nose does not correspond to any 375. With that nose and that hood (including a specific air-intake), I think it's a 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Berlinetta PininFarina (possibly s/n 0352 MM, which took part to the Mille Miglia 1954 - see pic below).

I can't see a roof. I was thinking in a 212 Export, s/n 0086 E, scuderia Marzotto, body by Fontana

An extra view of the car could maybe help.
Regarding 0086E, based on this : Link to "www.wheelsofitaly.com", I don't think it's matching.

Is this car a berlinetta or a spyder? I agree it is not a 250TR, the grille type is definitley earlier ca 1951-3. As no two cars of this era were identical it may not be possible to postively identify it.

I think it is a Shelby Cobra

Well... I don't think so (look at the Ferrari badge between top of grid and hood)...

It looks like a Ferrari badge, but maybe it isn't.

Maybe a 375 Plus ?

I keep on thinking it's a 1953 250 MM Berlinetta PininFarina... See below... (the one from the picture below has a bonnet without air-intake, and the turning lights are not on the same place)

Definitely not an AC Cobra. The original designer of (what would become) the AC Ace (later Cobra) based the bodywork on a Ferrari 212 Barchetta (IIRC), so there are similarities in shape. This car however is certainly a Ferrari....

And it's not a convertible, well a coupé... (The white helmet standing on the roof of the car)...

I would guess it is a 250MM. At that time there almost no car was exactly the same. The modell is rather a chassis.

This is really Ernie Mendici's Ferrari Vignale hotrod. Little difficult to identify unless you know the car personally as the everything you see is custom built and it does not exist like this any more. It was restored many years ago to look like 1953 again.

Came back to look at this - well, it's been 10 years ;o) - as this car really isn't a 250MM.

It was a 225S (sport) Vignale Berlinetta equipped with an experimental 250-engine, so most people call it a 250S.

For this site I might call it 225S(250), serial number is 0156ET.

And yes, it has since been returned back to how it looked in the beginning. Very important car, as Giovanni Bracco won Mille Miglia 1952 with it, reputedly holding a wine bottle between his knees while driving, also proving to Ferrari that the new 300SL was nothing to be worried about.
