"It's a thrill to drive a car like the Dino, one whose capabilities are far beyond what even an expert driver can use in most real-world motoring, and that is the Dino's reason for being." - Road & Track.
History of the Ferrari Dino 246
For the Formula 2, Ferrari presented in 1967 at the Turin Motor Show, the Dino 206 GT with a design by Pininfarina. The car was named after Enzo Ferrari's late son Alfredino Ferrari, the first car of a separate but related marque. The Dino 206 was a success on the track and on the road, first automobile manufactured in high numbers.
In late 1969, the Dino 246 GT replaced the 206 with a steel's body built by Scaglietti. The Targa version, 246 GTS, was presented in 1972. Ferrari produced 2,295 GTs and 1,274 Spiders.
Specification
The 246 GTS has a 2.4 litre Dino 246 V6 producing 192 hp at 7,600 rpm with a top speed of 235 kmh. This model has the Chairs & Flairs combination, the flared wheel arches and wide wheels with the Daytona seats.
The car was fully restored in the 1990s with bare-metal repaint and full interior re-trim. A driver's car par excellence...

Great looking car obviously great lines on the body but I love the interior - leatherwork and the instrument panel. Love the clean simple instrument panel. Tach and speedometer dual combo big gauges is classic. Many variations have been tried but can't really improve on it.
With this upholstery, the interior is gorgeous...
Schmick looking machine mate, looks great, cheers.
I'll see it well under the Christmas tree :-)
