Profile & significance

The productionized successor to the 250 S: 2.953-liter Colombo V12, about 240 hp, light Vignale/Pinin Farina competition bodies and approximately 31 cars. Its Mille Miglia-derived identity and scarcity place strong examples broadly around $4–8+ million. Maintenance is race-car work: fuel-cell replacement for events, magneto/distributor and carburetor calibration, drum linings, alloy-body cracking and chassis inspection.
