Chassis 01004 is a late 'L' series Ferrari Dino 246 GT, among the rarest of the three production series with only 357 built. Delivered new on 29 July 1970 through Ferrari agent Garage La Rotonda of Prato to its first Italian owner, it subsequently passed through several German hands before undergoing a concours-level restoration by Modena Motorsport of Langenfeld, Germany, returning the car to its correct original Celeste metallic blue livery with black and blue interior. Retaining its original manuals, tool kit, and jack, the car has covered only 250 kilometres since restoration.
