- Colour
- Rosso Chiaro (light red)
Chassis 07294 is a 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GT finished in Rosso Chiaro with Beige leather interior, representing the rare 'Chairs and Flares' specification — factory-fitted 7.5×14-inch magnesium Campagnolo wheels with flared arches and Daytona-style seats, an option fitted to only an estimated 300 of the 1,800 cars built. Delivered new to the UK through Maranello Concessionaires in November 1973, the car has covered remarkably few miles in its lifetime and has remained in the United Kingdom throughout its history.
