SUMMARY

1/488 UK-supplied, right-hand drive 246 GTs with less than 35,000 miles from new and beautifully restored.

DESCRIPTION

  • 1/488 UK-supplied, right-hand drive 246 GTs with less than 35,000 miles from new and beautifully restored
  • Finished in Bianco Polo Park with Rosso seats with Nero inserts and matching Rosso carpets
  • Confirmed matching numbers chassis, engine and gearbox to factory records with detailed overhaul by marque specialist, Nick Cartwright
  • Checked over by a Ferrari specialist prior to the sale to ensure this example is on-the-button after some time in dry storage
  • Accompanied by history file with restoration invoices, further maintenance invoices, MOT Certificates and a letter from Tony Wills
  • Also forming part of the sale is the tool kit, which nowadays is fairly valuable in its own right

Offered here is a beautiful right-hand drive Ferrari Dino 246 GT and one of, we believe, just 488 examples manufactured for the UK market. Finished in Bianco Polo Park paintwork (20-W-152) with Rosso leatherette seats with Nero inserts and matching Rosso carpets. This particular example has been subject to a detailed restoration performed by highly-regarded marque expert, Nick Cartwright, with all invoices on file. Since the restoration, the Dino has remained in dry storage with little use and has recently received further attention from another specialist (invoice on file) to ensure that the car is presented on the button and ready to be enjoyed.

Accompanied by its history file containing the detailed overhaul invoices from Nick Cartwright, further maintenance records including the recent re-commissioning for £8,000 by a regarded Ferrari specialist, a letter from Tony Willis confirming the chassis, engine and gearbox numbers match Ferrari records, images of the stamped numbers on each item, its MOT Certificate valid until May 2022 and, importantly, forming part of the sale is the tool kit which nowadays command quite a premium.

In summary, this is a great opportunity to get behind the wheel of a super little V6 Ferrari GT from the 70s which ticks all the boxes being right-hand drive, matching numbers, beautifully restored and absolutely on-the-button ready to be enjoyed. With restoration projects recently changing hands for sums in excess of £200,000, we believe the guide on this example is rather appealing.
