46 | THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL SALE
Dino 246 GT Berlinetta, chassis number '02114' was completed at
the factory on 3rd June 1971 finished in Oro Chiaro (gold metallic)
with Nero (black) vinyl interior. The car was delivered new to Colonel
Ronnie Hoare's Ferrari importer, Maranello Concessionaires Ltd in
Egham, Surrey and registered by them as 'GPE 5J' on 14th July
- In July 1972 the Dino was sold to its first private owner,
one E M Cole of Somerset, and in March 1977 (at 19,747 miles)
was acquired by the current vendor. A motoring enthusiast and
mechanical engineer, he took great delight in being shown the
Ferrari workshops at Egham in 1977.
0n 19 1, the Ferrari was taken off the road and since that time has
been kept in dry storage, the engine being turned over regularly
by hand. It should be noted that prior to this period of layup the
road wheels were removed, all suspension parts removed, cleaned,
painted and refitted. The sills all washed through, and every spec
of road muck removed by the meticulous vendor - the result is this
wonderful highly original and preserved Dino we are proud to offer.
All historical paperwork is present, including the service records,
registration documents, MoT certificates, insurance certificates, and the
owner's personal logbook of every journey undertaken and work carried
out, viewing of which is highly recommended. The car also comes with
original owner's and workshop manuals, and a spares catalogue.A modification the vendor learned from his visit to Egham in 1977 is
the glassfibre spare wheel well (removable to improve access to the
nose section) and improved front wheelarch closure panels being
the only notified deviations from factory specification. Retaining its
factory paintwork, interior, carpets, engine, light lenses, etc, this
superb 'time warp' Dino 246 GT represents a possibly once-in-a-
lifetime chance to acquire an original and unmolested example of this
iconic Ferrari.
