Chassis 00186 is the 44th example of the Ferrari Dino 206 GT, the short-run aluminium-bodied predecessor to the steel 246 Dino, built in 1968 and first registered in October of that year. Delivered new to a Milan dealership in Rosso Dino with a blue interior, it subsequently passed through several Italian owners, spending over three decades with one custodian in Sicily. The original engine, removed following valve damage, accompanies the car, while a matching Fiat-Dino unit was fitted and tuned for rally and hillclimb use.
