Conveniently positioned dials convey key information about the engine. The manual five-speed gearbox with its gated gear stick enables clean and precise changing of gears and makes for an authentic racing car experience.

Our auction vehicle came off the production line on 21 October 1971: Scaglietti body type 607 M, with an exterior colour of Rosso-Dino and interior colour of Vinyl Nero. This car was first registered on 1 January 1972 in Milan, before being relocated to France in the early 1980s. In 1988, the Dino was acquired by a new owner at the Roy Public auction in Evreux, before going under the hammer again just under six months later at the Orion Solo Ferrari auction in Monaco. This was during Ferrari’s wild years when prices were hitting dizzying new heights. After that, its history becomes more mysterious. The Dino was first tested and registered in Switzerland on 14 February 1989 in the canton of Nidwalden.
The car was repainted by Zanasi in Maranello in 2015 and its interior was refurbished at the same time. The Ferrari Dino 246 GT has been in the possession of its current owner in Zurich since 2018. A truly exceptional vehicle, very well maintained and regularly serviced. This Dino is sure to delight its new owner.
