1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GTS - Ex Peter Grant Led Zeppelin Manager!
Found some months ago on the Net ( Classic Car ). A superb car, the Dino, with some superb photos.
This iconic gear box...
10,000 RPM.... That's the way I like it!

A dream on four wheels.

Me too, madly! When I think that in the early Euro days I could grab one for 40 K euros...
Alfredo (Dino) would be proud, I'm sure....
with the reverence his model has garnered throughout all these decades.... May he rest in peace. 🙏🙂↕️
10.000 on the dial, 7.000 in reality 😉👍🏻
As much as I appreciate the Dinos, I find they have been overhyped and hence overpriced for what they are. Beautiful for sure and reasonably accomplished for the era but not as stratospherically good IMHO 🤷🏻♂️
The perfs were not mad, I agree. The character and the beauty were are the rendez vous, though.
I have to say I prefer the Fiat Dino 😁🤷🏻♂️
But then again I have always been weird that way 😂😂😂
That really is a stunning looking 1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GTS.
Whilst still at school one of my teachers actually had one, it really is such a beautiful car from a time when seeing a Ferrari was a rare occurrence and you couldn't see multiple cars throughout the day. It may be lacking all the bells and whistles of a modern Ferrari but it had a sole and character and driving engagement that IMHO far exceeds the boring cars of today.

Well said Marc
What is it about these older cars? A car is more than its specs -- the driving experience goes beyond numbers. Of course, I've never driven one!
Why did I buy a 1973 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe instead of this?
Oh right, the price ;-).
