1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT
- Engine
- 2.0L all-alloy V6
- Colour
- Metallic blue
Ferrari Dino 206 GT chassis 00390, built in 1969, is one of only 152 examples of this lightweight, aluminium-bodied predecessor to the 246 GT — and one of just 51 produced that year. Delivered new in metallic blue with tan interior to a Venetian buyer, it later passed to opera tenor Mario Del Monaco, himself a noted Ferrari collector. Acquiring the car in 1980, the vendor has covered fewer than 2,000 kilometres in subsequent decades, preserving original interior and engine components throughout.
