1968 Fiat DINO

Estimated Price: £15,000 - £20,000

A landmark collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari, the Fiat Dino was engineered primarily to help Ferrari meet the FIA's Formula 2 racing homologation rules, which mandated that racing engines must be derived from a production car with at least 500 units built annually

Powered by a 2.0-litre, all-aluminium, DOHC 65-degree V6 (shared with the Ferrari Dino 206GT) offering 160bhp fed through a five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential

This left-hand drive example was first registered in France in April 1968 and imported to the UK in 2013 by its previous owner who had owned it since the mid 2000s

Documentation with the car confirm a 2011 top-end rebuild carried out in France at the cost of €2,500, with copies of photos suggesting it has covered around 5,000km since then

During its early years here it spent some time at a Dino specialist and benefitted from almost £8,000 worth of mechanical and maintenance work, as well as a partial floor-pan restoration and carb rebuild in 2015

Supplied with a folder of invoices, French and UK registration documents, and a CD ROM of a workshop manual. The most recent invoice is for a service in 2017

Purchased from us in May 2019 by our vendor and has been serviced since but little used so will require a level of recommissioning before regular road use
