In 1967, Ferrari unveiled the Dino 206 GT with soft edges and curving lines, which is typical of earlier Italian cars. The car was built by Scaglietti, and was produced for only two years (until 1969). Only 153 units left the production line and one of them, the 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT ‘Project’ By Scaglietti, will soon be offered at auction.

The car’s lightweight aluminum body is finished in a combination of Rosso Chiaro over Nero with matching carpet. In February 1969, it was delivered to the first customer, Le Mans driver and team owner Alain de Cadenet, in Great Britain via Maranello Concessionaires. In the same year it was sold to Scotland where it stayed for three years. In 1979, it was sold to Ireland, to the current owner.

The Dino 206 GT is a near-complete yet unfinished project fitted with a non-matching Fiat variant of the lauded Dino V-6. It was the first small mid-engine sports road car produced by Ferrari. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter V-6 engine with 178 hp (132 kW) @ 8,000 rpm and 138 lb⋅ft (187 Nm) of torque @ 6,500 rpm, which is enough for the car to reach a top speed of 146 mph ( 235 km/h).

It is equipped with full independent suspension and all round disc brakes. It was the first car sold by Ferrari which used an electronic ignition.

The auction will take place on November 26, 2022, and the estimated value of the car is €150,000 – €200,000 EUR. Also, it is offered without reserve.
