Descrizione

Few cars in the world combine artistry, engineering, and heritage as seamlessly as the Ferrari Dino 246 GT. The example presented here, a 1971 European-delivery car originally supplied by Charles Pozzi in Paris, is not merely a classic. It is a statement of automotive history, design purity, and uncompromising quality.

This is a matching-numbers car, an essential credential in the world of high-end collectibles. Its restoration and mechanical rebuild were executed to very high standards, with attention to authenticity and detail. The result is immediately visible: the paintwork is of great depth and clarity, the body panels align neatly, and the wheels gleam as if they had just left Maranello. Step inside and you are greeted by an interior that balances Italian elegance with tactile perfection. The carpets, trim, and instrumentation are really lovely, beautifully preserved, and imbued with the kind of character that only the finest craftsmanship can deliver.

Yet the Dino is not simply to be admired as a static work of art. It is meant to be driven. The moment you turn the key, the 2.4-liter, 65-degree V6 awakens with a distinctly spirited note, reminding you of the racing pedigree that inspired its creation. Developed in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s beloved son, Alfredo “Dino” Ferrari, this powerplant defined a new era for Ferrari. The engine is lively, precise, and perfectly matched to the car’s five-speed manual gearbox. Shifts are crisp, the engine eager, and the balance of the chassis reveals why the Dino is regarded as one of the most engaging drivers’ cars of all time.

The 246 GT was groundbreaking in its day: a mid-engined sports car designed by Pininfarina’s Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti, clothed in curves so timeless that even today it is considered one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever built. Motor Trend Classic placed it among the “10 Greatest Ferraris of All Time,” while Sports Car International hailed it as one of the very best sports cars of the 1970s. Its combination of compact proportions, fluid handling, and visceral charm elevated Ferrari into a new dimension of accessibility and desirability.

This particular example embodies the very best of what makes a Dino collectible. Its provenance is impeccable, its restoration faithful, and its condition nothing short of exquisite. Every element, from the polished instrumentation to the flawless bodywork, demonstrates quality at a high level. More importantly, it offers the opportunity not merely to own a piece of history, but to experience it. On the road, this Dino delivers a driving experience that is intimate, direct, and profoundly rewarding—qualities that no modern supercar, regardless of power, can replicate.

For the discerning collector, the 1971 Ferrari Dino 246 GT represents the rarest of combinations: an investment-grade automobile that stirs the soul.
