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.
