Going on the auction block is 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, a vintage classic \u2013 named after Enzo Ferrari\u2019s late son Alfredino Ferrari \u2013 ready to be shown a new owner, which would only be the third in over 40 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Sporting curvy, racing (can we say \u201cracy\u201d?) lines, a competition-ready chassis, and a V-6 engine designed by Enzo Ferrari himself; it is no doubt the\u00a0Ferrari Dino 246 GTS \u2013\u00a0named for Enzo Ferrari\u2019s late son Alfredino Ferrari \u2013 was a crowd stunner at the\u00a01965 Paris salon. This Italian supercar has come a long way\u00a0before\u00a0gaining its current status as an important car in the Ferrari history. Thus, when a Prancing Pony of such historic provenance is put up for auction, the classic car connoisseurs at LUXUO take notice.<\/p>\n
\u201cJunior\u201d Ferrari Dino 246 GTS Going\u00a0for Auction<\/h2>\n
Despite (or in spite of) its good looks, the 206 S Speciale was long seen by Ferrari purists as less of a classic Ferrari because the original model of the Ferrari Dino did not bear Ferrari\u2019s iconic Prancing Pony,\u00a0in its place is a \u201cDino\u201d plate, made by Enzo Ferrari to honour\u00a0his son. However, over time, the \u201cJunior\u201d Ferrari Dino 246 GTS has earned the respect of enthusiasts as a timeless and highly collectible model.<\/p>\n
The Dino 246 GTS up for auction was the first vehicle made at the Maranello factory to enter production with a mid-engine and rear-drive design. It is then finished in\u00a0Rosso Chiaro (brilliant orange\/red) over beige leather with Daytona seats. This Ferrari Dino 246 GTS has only seen two owners since its production in 1974 and has tallied up a mere 8,300 miles over the 44 years, which makes this certainly one of the lowest-mileage Dinos in existence.<\/p>\n
Completely unrestored and original throughout, the \u201cJunior\u201d Ferrari Dino represents history and rarity, certainly one of the best cars to begin classic Ferrari ownership.<\/p>\n
