Listed today at Girardo & Co., Oxford. Last checked today.
This is a late, E-series Ferrari 246 Dino GT, the final development of Pininfarina's mid-engined V6 coupe. It is a right-hand-drive car delivered new to the UK through Maranello Concessionaires, and it was ordered in November 1972 in Argento Auteuil with a red leather interior and the optional electric windows.
What sets it apart is how little it has been used. It has had only three owners and shows 5,816 miles. The first kept it for six months. The second, a motorcycle collector, owned it for 17 years and logged every journey. The third has had it since 1990 and has added fewer than 300 miles, mostly keeping it in storage. The chassis, engine and gearbox are stated to be matching numbers.
Much of the car remains as it left the factory. The original mouse-hair dash is unfaded, parts of the interior still carry their protective wrapping, and the sealed customs tag is still behind the steering column. The history file includes the original warranty card, service book, owner's manual, spare-parts catalogue, tool roll, jack, spare key, the owners' hand-written journey logs, correspondence and maintenance invoices. The paint is described as generally excellent, with a few small stone chips on the nose. The price is on application.
