The Ferrari Dino 246 GT, chassis 01040, is a late-production L-Series example completed at the factory on 27 August 1970, one of only 357 such cars built between March 1969 and October 1970. Originally delivered in Rosso Chiaro with a black interior to a Torino company, the car remained in that city across several owners before undergoing an extensive five-year restoration. It retains its original Italian registration plates and has been submitted for Ferrari Classiche certification.

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.
