Fabrizio Violati acquired the car sometime in the later 1970s and it
became an integral exhibit within his Collezione Maranello Rosso
museum in the Republic of San Marino. The car’s colour scheme
is nothing if not startling in orange-hued Rosso Dino 20-R-350
externally and trimmed with Blu 135 Vinyl within the cabin, which
looks startlingly fresh but is apparently genuine and original.
The car has suffered some deterioration over its long years on
Museum display, and its chrome work and rubber-edging, particularly
around the engine bay and opening-lid sections will require attention,
although replacement would not be expensive. As with all these
Maranello Rosso cars we obviously recommend expert inspection
and careful re-commissioning before a new owner seeks to run the
car in earnest. But this is nonetheless a little-used and really very
original example of its type – a mid-production 1970 Dino 246GT
Coupé with what is believed to be a genuine 17,123kms only
recorded upon its odometer.
