Engine
2.4L V6 DOHC
Colour
Metallic blue ('Blu Dino Metallizzato')

Chassis 07394 is a left-hand-drive, European-specification Ferrari Dino 246 GTS completed on 2 November 1973 and finished in Blu Dino Metallizzato over a black Connolly leather interior. Delivered new through the Swiss Ferrari importer SAVAF in Geneva, the car spent most of its life in Switzerland and has covered only 31,000 km from new. Remarkably original throughout — including its patinated interior and factory-correct specification — it holds Ferrari Classiche certification and retains the desirable 7.5×14 Campagnolo wheels.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
