    This only relates to the UK really. I have just spotted a Dino GTs in Silver literally 1/2 a mile from my house! (very small chance of that happening) I was coming round a bend in the family car and didnt have a chance to aknowledge him.... Registration was 2 SUR
    (i think) anyone here know of this car?

    These coincidences happen.
    I remember when I was taking my first test drive in my GTS back in 1980. I had suffered hours of the salesman's spiel about how rare the model was and how you would never see another on the road when about 1 mile into the test drive we spotted another coming in the opposite direction.
    I still bought it!

    I drove my Dino regularly for four years.

    Despite the fact that I know of four or five of them within a reasonable distance of me, the only time I ever saw another Dino was at a concours.

    Kind of neat that you've got one right around the corner.

    Contact 246gts - I believe he has a beautiful silver Dino in your area.

    246 Gts (Dave) lives in cheshire which is 200 miles from me! His car is Grigio Ferro the same as mine.
    ( i even asked his permission to spray mine the same colour!)
    The car i saw was the lighter silver 106-E-1 Argento Auteil which ties up with Matthias's
    Info
    Regards, Graham.
