1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
- Colour
- Red ('Rosso') with black leather interior trim
Chassis 03266 is a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT built to French-market specification — yellow headlamps and kilometre-calibrated instruments — and originally finished in Azzurro Metallizzato over Blu leather. Delivered via Charles Pozzi SA in Paris, it passed through just two early French owners before being acquired in 1986 by the consignor, who has held it for nearly four decades. A restoration by Établissements Tessier and an engine rebuild in 2001 are the principal works recorded against it.
