pilou 2006-04-07 16:02	Yes could also be 1956.Those were very much the same car

Then the production moved to the Boano factory, before moving again to the Ellena factory (then, the model evolved a little bit - higher roof, no little "déflecteurs" anymore, spare wheel now lying in the trunk, new rear bridge configuration, new direction system). If my doc is correct, this "Boano" could then be a 1955 or 1956 250 GT Coupé Pinin Farina. Let's keep it as Boano anyway. -- Last edit: 2006-12-14 08:33:00
