1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT L-series
- Engine
- 2.4L DOHC V6 with three Weber carburetors, 195 bhp
- Colour
- 'Blue Sera' (blue)
A late-production Ferrari Dino 246 GT L-series, chassis 01016, built in July 1970 to European specification and originally finished in Blue Sera over black vinyl. One of only 357 L-series examples, it retains period-correct alloy doors and decklid, centre-lock wheels, and 206-derived interior details. First sold new to noted Hollywood producer John Calley, it subsequently passed through several California owners and, as a matching-numbers example, represents one of the earliest and most original iterations of the mid-engined V-6 Dino.
