    I am trying to piece together the history of 250 GT Ellena 0755. It was sold new by Chinetti to a "Banker" in CT.

    Does any one have any info about this car, it's time in New England, or possibly know anything about ownership info?

    tried that and was hoping something a little more regional specific would help ring a bell with someone.

    Does anyone remeber ANY Boano or Ellena owner from this time frame, forgetting the chassiS # that started this thread?

    Also owned a Lola at some point. Provided financial backing for Sherm Decker's racing activities in the early 60's. Worked in advertising for BBDO. Played drums on the side. Would be in his 90's by now, not sure if he is still alive.

    Also owned an Ellena that was raced by Dean McCarthy. Anyone know anyone that might remember something about this car?
