To satisfy the Homologation regulations for Ferrari's 1966
Formula Two campaign. Ferrari produced a new mid-engined coupé
design with V6 engines for production in 1967. This eventually led
to the larger 2. 4 V6 engined 246 GT and GTS being introduced in
1969. The V6 was the first of its kind for Ferrari and the 246 was. br/>in many people's minds. the most beautiful road going Ferrari
built.

We are delighted to offer this wonderful right hand drive example
of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT that has been in long term ownership
since 1988. During this period. the Ferrari has undergone a ground
up restoration that covered body. trim and mechanical overhaul
including a complete engine and gearbox rebuild in 2005/6. The
ethos was to employ a no expense spared policy within this period. br/>resulting in the car you see today that not only looks attractive. br/>but operates exactly as designed. A massive file accompanies the
car and includes all correspondence regarding the restoration and
maintenance of the Ferrari during the current ownership.

The beautiful and voluptuous curves of the 246 were designed by
Pininfarina; this particular example has excellent coachwork and is
finished to a high standard in giallo fly (fly yellow). The
interior invites you to settle into the tan leather seats whereby
you immediately feel comfortable behind the wheel. The instruments. br/>sitting within the excellently finished alloy dashboard. are easily
read and convey information to the driver as they should. The
engine starts easily without any signs of smoking. unsurprising
considering the history and the Ferrari engaged all gears easily
and smoothly. The car conveys an air of confidence to the driver
and is complimented by the magnificent view through the screen and
over those beautifully penned Pininfarina curved wings on either
side of the car.

Other items of note are; the finely detailed engine bay. a
replacement Ferrari tool kit. the factory jack. and the very rare
original Ferrari handbook and parts book in their Dino wallet. For
security. the car is also fitted with a Tracker system. This 246 GT
is UK registered and has an MoT test certificate valid until July
2015.

With prices of the Ferrari Dino reaching stratospheric heights
this surely represents an ideal opportunity. if you have ever
aspired to one. given the realistic estimate; an opportunity surely
not to be missed.
