Rare 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S for sale

February 5, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

In 1966, Ferrari unveiled the sports prototype Dino 206 S. 50 homologated examples of this car were needed so that Ferrari could compete in the Sport 2.0 L Group 4 category. However, Ferrari only produced 18 examples and had to continue the competition in the Prototype 2.0-liter class instead. Only two examples were fitted with the most powerful Tipo 233 engine and one of them, the 1967 Ferrari Dino 206 S, is for sale.

This car is in good condition and has chassis number 82. It was delivered to engineer Corrado Ferlain. Ferrari historian Marcel Massini researched the car’s history and discovered that it competed in several hill climbs between 1966 and 1967. After being serviced at the Ferrari factory in November 1968, the car changed hands several times before being purchased by collector Pierre Bardinon in 1979. Since then it has been part of some of the finest collections of Ferrari cars in the world. Jacques Setton bought the car in the 1980s and later sold it to a British collector. The Ferrari was then restored in Great Britain in 2003, after which it was transported to the USA.

The Ferrari Dino 206 S is powered by a 2.0L V6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. In 2014, the car was restored at the Ferrari factory, where it received the Red Book certificate, which confirms the originality of the chassis, engine and gearbox.

This very rare car will be auctioned between February 15th and 17th at RM Sotheby’s. The value of the car has not been estimated but is expected to reach seven figures.
