A Ferrari Dino 246 GT E-Series produced in January 1972 and delivered new to a Montreal buyer through a local Ferrari dealer. Finished in Argento Auteil over Bordeaux leather with Cromodora wheels, the car has spent its entire life in Montreal under three long-term private owners. With fewer than 27,500 miles accumulated from new, it retains its original paintwork and has received Ferrari Classiche certification confirming factory-correct specification. An engine rebuild was carried out in 2005 and the interior was also restored that year.
