Just because I'd never heard of that "number" (thought it a typo for the more well known 250) doesn't mean it's wrong....
Technically you may be correct and I'm wrong AGAIN:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_TR

It was built in '59 and was modified over the early '59 cars with the 5 speed and dry sump.

I was pretty sure the owner (longtime friend) refered to it as a 259.

Either way the motor makes the most wonderful of sounds.
