Chassis 07094 is a matching-numbers Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, one of just 1,274 open-topped examples produced, completed at Maranello on 11 September 1973. Finished in Nero over Rosso Connolly leather, it was built in right-hand drive with air conditioning and Cromodora alloys for the UK market, supplied through Maranello Concessionaires. After passing through documented British ownership, it was exported to Singapore in 1990, where a comprehensive refurbishment reportedly costing some £85,000 was later undertaken before its return to the UK.
