Chassis 00388 is a 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT, one of only 153 aluminium-bodied examples built between 1967 and 1969 before the heavier 246 superseded it. Completed on 20 February 1969 and delivered through a Prato dealership, it was originally finished in Argento over Nera vinyl with blue fabric inserts. The car subsequently passed through several Italian owners before being exported to California in the late 1970s, later registering in Britain and then Germany. It retains its matching-numbers engine and original alloy body, and carries Ferrari Classiche certification along with a history report by marque expert Marcel Massini.
