Chassis 00294 is one of only 153 aluminium-bodied Dino 206 GTs produced in 1968–69, representing Ferrari's first production mid-engined car. Delivered new in Rome on 1 February 1969, it passed through several Italian owners before entering long-term family ownership in 1981. It remains in largely unrestored condition retaining its original Rome licence plates, with only a single bare-metal respray recorded during its lifetime.
