I've had this picture in the archives ; looks like the same car ( with Ferrari's you never know! ) ...

If it's the same, it should be a 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Drogo Spyder, with chassisnumber 0147E

Yes, that's the right car (another picture below).
But what about the other questions?!

It's not a Ferrari 250GT - just looks like a California Spyder!

Chassisnumber 0147E was originally built as a 212 Inter Vignale Coupe in 1951, but was given a new body in 1965 by Piero Drogo. It's supposed to look like a 250 GT California and was ordered by Count Giovanni Lurani Cernuschi.
