Talk:Ferrari 250

message: Is it necessary to mention three times that a replica of the 250 California Spyder appeared in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off?  Was it a replica of the SWB or the LWB?  The mention should be removed from the section describing whichever one it was not a replica of. Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 01:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ferris Bueller's Day Off - three mentions? 

message: Someone with more zeal for SI than for general understanding had decided that the 250 MM designation of the Ferrari 250 MM (Mille Miglia) model really meant two hundred and fifty millimetres and changed the designations accordingly.  This went so far as someone setting up conversions for this mythical "250 mm" length.
Will editors note in future that the use of 250 MM in this context is the model designation for that particular Ferrari 250 and that it is not a badly formatted statement of length?
Thank you.

replies: text: To clarify even further the 250 stands for 250cc capacity of 1 cylinder in 3 l V12 engine. This convention applies to all cars from 166 to 456, except for 512(5l 12cyl). YBSOne (talk) 21:00, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

message: * 250 GT California Spyder LWB
In May 2008, English broadcaster Chris Evans, set a new world record for the highest price ever paid for an automobile at auction when he paid $10,894,400 for a Spyder. The car, which was the 13th to be made, had once owned by Hollywood star James Coburn. 
* 250 GT Spider California SWB
A record price for a 250 GT at auction was set on May 18, 2008 when a black 1961 SWB example that had been owned by James Coburn was sold for 6.4 million Euros/£5.5 million/$10,894,900 (€7,040,000 including fees). The buyer was Chris Evans, a British radio DJ. He let James May drive it on an episode of the television show Top Gear.
Since the car was a LWB, should it only be mentioned under the LWB section? Does this lead to confusion being mentioned under both the SWB and LWB sections? --RThompson82 (talk) 05:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder
Old Ferraris had the name Spyder, not Spider, sam as Maserati used the name Spyder  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ybsone (talk • contribs) 21:26, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

text: the problem is the 1st liknk shows the name of the body as spider and not the name of the car, second link only applies to Alfa Spider. But i suppose this is something of a draw.YBSOne (talk) 11:11, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
