He’s had it about a year and a half. It now runs and drives really well. He had it last year at Villa d’Este and this year at the Monaco Concours At the Palace. He even drove it on the tour!
Here’s a story on the event by John Lamm https://www.collierautomedia.com/irvine-cars-coffee-anniversary-edition/ It shows the orange 1952 “Porsche” tractor. They made around 200 of these in the early 50’s for the Brazilian coffee plantations.
Some very interesting cars there, Freeman. If there were a prize for the best photo, my vote would go to this one: who says young people aren't interested in old cars!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Image Unavailable, Please Login The color is Blu Scuro, a non metallic. It is the original color of my Dino 03932. Seems very close to Pozzi Blu. If anyone knows the difference, it would be interesting to know. Behind the back window, inside the rear quarter windows is original paint.
I drive my old cars at least once a week, barring unfavorable weather. I have a rule. As I pass our wine bar, if there is an empty space out front, that is a Sign from God saying that I must stop and have a glass of wine. Sunday was just so blessed. Image Unavailable, Please Login

We have just done 2000 miles on a driving holiday in Northern Spain with our friends in their Dino. Please click on the photo for a larger version.
Not too much really, we had to bump start it one morning after there had been some very fine rain over night, and the end of is air cleaner fell off, I think on the way to the ferry as it did not hit me, he improvised with a biscuit tin lid that was almost a perfect size, and a bit of Duct tape did the trick. I helped by providing the duct tape and eating the biscuits!
Unloaded from the flatbed and pulled into the garage after four years for restoration. It's a start. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Image Unavailable, Please Login So the context here is that Acura was doing a demo at my local Starbucks plaza in Beverly Hills / Bel Air I drove my DINO up to take a photo with all of these new gen NSX's I got a lotta love and a sales job on the 573 HP - dual electric engine AND a gas engine NSX they start at 150k and you can dress it up to maybe 175 or so 0-60 in 2.7 seconds blah blah blah
I took my Dino to our monthly SW Ferrari breakfast meet yesterday. Damp roads (albeit traffic-free early in the morning), cloudy sky, chilly wind, but at least it was not actually raining! The Dino was, of course, a joy to drive as usual. After a convivial "full English" with four other kindred spirits, the sun came out and the sky cleared. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login I drove up to GLOS. to collect the 550 which is due into Carrs in Exeter for service next week. By this time the roads had dried (almost!) and I had an enjoyable drive on some very pleasant back roads through Somerset and Wiltshire. 125 miles after leaving Exeter, the Dino arrived at our house near Cirencester, a little travel-stained, but none the worse for it. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login I put the Dino to bed and took the 550 out for the return journey. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Two very different cars, each wonderful in its own way, and significant in Ferrari history. One was the first mid-engined road car, the first (and so far only) V6, and the progenitor of the line that developed through half a century into the F8 Tributo today; the other marked Ferrari's return to the front-engined V12 2-seat Berlinetta, after two decades since the end of Daytona production and the last manual-only car in the line-up. I love them both. A thoroughly enjoyable day's driving!
