Ferrari Dino 246 GT M-Series

This is an M-series Dino 246 GT, the short intermediate run built in early 1971 and recognisable by its five-bolt Cromodora wheels, parallel wipers and seat-mounted headrests. It is a right-hand-drive car, delivered new to England through Maranello Concessionaires, and was completed at Maranello on 9 February 1971.

It wears its original colour combination of Argento Auteuil over Blu faux leather. The engine and gearbox are matching numbers, and the car was certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2016, with the Red Book. The odometer reads 37,425 miles.

The history file is substantial. It includes a leather folio with the service manual, parts book, warranty card, tool kit and jack. There are also concours trophies and invoices dating back to 1983. Known owners include Nicky Paul-Barron, who showed it at the 1990 Ferrari Owners Club national meeting, and Alan Stanley, whose ownership began in 1996. The car took second in class at the 2002 North West Ferrari Concours.
