electra225 ◊ 2010-05-11 18:19	How can You recognize a 220 SE Coupè from a 250 SE coupé ? I suspect a 250 because one like this was used in at least other two or three Italian movies of the era and in one of them the rear script is clearly visible "250 SE". In one of the movies such car has got a plate from Ravenna (RA). -- Last edit: 2010-05-11 18:21:23
Bob Dieck ◊ 2010-05-11 21:06	You only find differences through the wheels (220 SE= 13" and 250 SE=14") and the horn ring(round in early 220 SE). And the rear script. Maybe in another photo you find onde of these details. Another point: 250 SE appeared in 1966, which is the year this movies was presented. I guesse it is too short time to be a '66 model. -- Last edit: 2010-05-11 21:07:55
