The Ferrari Dino 206 GT, chassis 00356, is one of only 153 aluminium-bodied examples of Maranello's first mid-engined road car, completed on 31 January 1969 in Rosso Chiaro over Nero. Delivered new to the UK via Maranello Concessionaires, it was first owned by gentleman driver Alain de Cadenet before passing through Scottish hands and eventually into long-term Irish family ownership from 1979. It presents today as a partially restored, non-running project with a non-matching Fiat-sourced Dino V-6.
