THE SERIES II PF CABRIOLET As the 250 GT model line continued to develop in the twilight of 1959, Ferrari introduced a second generation of its Pinin Farina-bodied luxury cabriolet, essentially a grand touring version of the concurrent competition-derived 250 California spider.

Featuring four-wheel disc brakes and the outside-plug engine developed during the Testa Rossa campaigns, the new cabriolet was the most tractably powerful 250 GT to date, claiming both fine road manners and strong performance.

Only 200 examples of the second-series cabriolets were built, lending the model equal parts rarity and elegance.

These mid-production 250 GTs offer the best of both ends of the spectrum, as their striking open coachwork envelops more modern chassis components in a combination that today’s collectors can particularly enjoy on vintage touring events.

Officially, the 250 GT Cabriolets were designated by the “GTF” prefix affixed to their chassis plate.
