1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

07214roadItaly
Colour
Metallic blue ('Blu Dino Metallizzato') over sand beige interior

A Ferrari Dino 246 GTS finished in metallic Blu Dino (106-A-72) over a Sabbia leather interior, belonging to an extremely rare subset of approximately 30 European left-hand-drive examples built with factory-fitted flared arches and Campagnolo 7.5×14-inch magnesium wheels. Originally ordered by a Belgian dealer in 1973 and retailed through Nocentini Automobili of Florence in March 1974, the car has remained with a single Italian family ever since, covering just 26,500 km from new and never having been restored.

Are you the owner of this car?

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.
