Vehicle Overview
Conceived by Enzo and Alfredino (hence “Dino”) Ferrari, with engine design by Vittorio Jano (who was responsible for the engineering of the Alfa Romeo 8C and Lancia Aurelia), the “Dino” badged, V6 powered, 2 seater sportscar was Ferrari SPA’s affordable alternative, to their more expensive V12 range. Designed by Pininfarina, and built by Scaglietti, the first Dino was produced on March 1st 1969.
Debuted at the 1969 Geneva Motor Show, the very early production 246GT’s (Series 1-357 produced)) featured knock-off wheels and Girling brakes, which were replaced in 1970 by five bolt Cromodora’s and Ate brakes (Series 2-507 produced)…the same year in which the first Dino 246 GT RHD, was delivered to the UK market. The vast majority of production (1,431 coupe’s and 1,264 GTS’s ) were Series 3 cars, and with the release of the car in the United States, production continued until July 1974
The car we offer, chassis #01548 was built in Maranello, Italy and completed on March 20th 1971. One of 498 Dino GT’s destined for the UK market, #01548 is a Series 2 car, which was delivered new via Maranello Concessionaires Egham Surrey, specified in giallo-fly (exterior) with a nero (interior), registered MCW45J and is documented in the Dino Registry.
Completely restored to its original specification in 1990 in the North West of England (detailed within the history file), involving the replacement of both front and rear body sections, with factory original parts, the Dino has had just five documented owners and has always been a UK domiciled car. The current owner, a long-time Ferrari Owners Club GB member, has used the car sparingly over the last twelve years and it has been meticulously maintained by marque specialists R&D Automotive.
The car will be freshly serviced (annual) and MOT’d prior to delivery to its new keeper.
