Comentarios del vendedor sobre 1972' Ferrari 246 Dino 246 Gt
Delivered in Italy in August 1972, this Dino 246 GT is one of 828 cars manufactured that year and belongs to the E series. Chassis n°4662, still wearing her very beautiful original colour, Rosso Chiaro, looks simply superb and her state of presentation is irreproachable.
Imported into France by a Paris dealer a few years ago, the car was sold to an enthusiast with a long-standing love of Ferraris, who wanted to replace his 550 Maranello, which he found too powerful for today’s road conditions and difficult to enjoy in the repressive climate imposed by public authorities. With only a little under 12 200 km on the odometer, the Dino underwent a total restoration in Italy and has the precious red folder Classiche Ferrari. She has only been driven on classic car events and outings with the Club Ferrari France. Carefully used, she has been regularly maintained by one of the best Ferrari specialists in the Paris region, Fiorano Racing, as is witnessed by a thick file of invoices.
In late 2015, she changed ownership and became part of the superb collection of a connaisseur who loves sports cars. The car was brought up to his extremely exacting standards, receiving an all-over repaint to correct gravel chips on the front. The engine was removed and subjected to a complete verification. The carpets and original leather upholstery were taken out and cleaned. The fibre lining of the front luggage compartment was renewed, as this fragile and expensive material had been damaged by a leak from the brake fluid reservoir. The brakes, suspension and transmission have been entirely overhauled. The driveshaft constant velocity joints and all rubber mountings and couplings have been replaced and the gearbox has been checked.
The condition of all mechanical parts is therefore optimal and one cannot find even the tiniest criticism of the car’s appearance. The desire of the present owner to swap this car for a Dino 246 GTS gives you a fabulous opportunity to take to the road at the wheel of chassis n°4662. You will have much more than the mere pleasure of driving a very beautiful classic car : you will be experiencing at first-hand a major milestone in automobile histry and you will be certain to feel the same thrill every time that the three Weber carburettors enable you to fire up the engine of this fabulous machine.
