07898roadItaly

Engine: 2.4L V6, mid-mounted, triple Weber downdraft carburetors, 195 hp
Colour: Rosso Cordoba (dark red)

A late-production 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS finished in Rosso Cordoba over beige leather, delivered new through William F. Harrah's Modern Classic Motors dealership on the U.S. West Coast. One of only 1,274 GTS spiders produced, this example retains its numbers-matching engine with Weber downdraft carburetors and original five-speed gearbox. Having passed through just two owners over roughly 45 years, it has covered fewer than 46,000 miles and received a cosmetic restoration in factory colours alongside annual servicing.
