I've some trouble sticking the right name the following two vintage Ferraris. I guess both of them are 250 models, but I've no clue which exact model they are. Can anyone help?

sorry dude, but at least we know what car the 599GTB is based on now!!

They look very similar

The second one is a 250 GTE Drogo rebodied as far as ppl told me when I had to rename my pics from that day

Looks like some version of the 275.

Edit: See that TT has already answered the question and i was wrong.

that red on is not GTO ? im not sure, and blue is very nice,

The first one could very well be a Drogo bodied car as well. Probably 250, perhaps 330. Could also be a Fantuzzi though. I'm not sure. Need to do a bit of research first.

Beautiful cars...

The closest i can find for the first one is a 275 GTB/4 but the 275 has a quarter window in front of the side windows whereas this one doesn't. My guess is a 275 variant, but that's as close as i can get unless its a replica kit.

It's probably this one, a 250 GTE, rebodied by Drogo. You could check in the original pictures whether is has plate number HH-SB 16H. If it has, then its owner is Jürgen Rohwer.

It's amazing how many variants classic Ferrais used to have...it's kinda confusing sometimes.

Cool. Glad to be of help.

@ Chaos: Not all of these cars were actually made or commissioned by Ferrari. Due to the fact chassis and bodywork were separate items in those days, it was easy for anyone to hire an independant coachworks to design and build a new body. There were many of them in the fifties and sixties, especially in Italy. These two cars started out as 250 GTEs, a luxurious 2+2. However, chassis and engine were not all that different from those of a 250 GTO for instance. Add the fact that GTEs were not particularly sought after in those days and thus they made for attractive cars to rebody.

the first is 250 GTE s/n 2423 GT, the second is 250 GTE s/n 2493 GT
