206GT - How many are left + Model Valuation Chart?

Probably nearly impossible to answer accurately, but what are peoples' opinions on how many of the original 154 x 206GTs are left?

Given the comment Matthias makes in the Compendium (page 77), <115? <100??

Also, given this rarity, does it mean the 206 is more valuable than, for example, an original C+F GT, or C+F GTS?

FWIW, my own opinion on values (based on gut feeling alone, with all cars in exactly the same condition) would be:

246GT E-Series
246GT Chairs only
246GT M-Series
246GTS
246GTS Chairs only
246GT L-Series
246GT Flares only
246GT C+F
246GTS Flares only
206GT
246GTS C+F

Any cars with non-orig Flares or Chairs would go below their standard counterpart. Also, this doesn't take into account any exceptional ownership eg ex-Beatles etc. On that subject, I assume #00810 must be the most valuable of the lot???

Would be interesting to hear of other views.

Cheers,

Tony

 

Your list is upside down. So there were originally 154 206 Dinos, not 152??? What 206GT Dinos have actually sold and for how much to set the trend?

 

Hi Steve,

154 was the number from the Dino Compendium and I, like many others, tend to look upon that as the Dino Bible!

I think the order was the right way around - "...and we'll announce the contestants in ascending order..." ;-)

The only 206GT I know of for sale at the moment is with The Hairpin Company, asking GBP350,000. ( http://www.thehairpincompany.co.uk/car_stock.html )

Cheers again,

Tony

 

350 grand and you get an incorrect wooden gear knob, and what seems to be the wrong steering wheel?

 

There was a wooden steering wheel on the 206GT Dino.

 

I know, but that one looks wrong

 

Let's compare.

Wood on the top wheel looks thicker

 

I think there were differences between many of the 206 Dinos. Perhaps Matthias or one of the other more knowledgeable Dino people on this forum will clarify.

 

Partially depends on whether you plan to drive the car or not.
Didn't Ferrari / Fiat move away from the all-alloy engine because of reliability / durability problems?

 

I would agree, the steering wheel looks wrong, too thick
206 GT production cars have been delivered originally with a MOMO steering wheel
Momo must be stamped on the backside of the steering wheel

I believe when they bored out to 2.4 liters, the distance between the cylinder walls was too thin for alloy.

 

Tony Jersey makes no mention of the fact that there are many fewer RHD cars than left-hookers. It is generally accepted that Euro spec and RHD combined are the rarest,then should be more valuable.

 

This fact that are rarest and more valuable can be used in England.For what it is when you cant drive it in any other states except Britain or Australia?

 

And Japan

 

in Japan they are really keen to own a LHD.... not a RHD

 

So.Mathias...What is your take on this? RHD or LHD, do you see any difference in values?

 

that depends on timing.....
in gerneral RHD are a bit more expensive than LHD and have been in the past
at the peak of the subprime crisis RHD had a discount to LHD Dinos for about two years
now I see a premium again, also lots of demand from Australia as money has been made in the basic materials boom...

 

This should be original 206 , what do you think?

Looks like a 206 to me. Wooden steering wheel. Shift knob. Single rheostat. Air vents. Dash material. passenger foot bar, early bucket seats.

Very cool.

 

Is your question that you think it isn't for some reason or are you asking to have it nit-picked?

Lots of good nit-pickets here.

At first glance, it appears to be a 206 and not a 246.

 

looks very original... chassis no.?
but I don`t know any 206 GT with interior beige 430 - panno rosso originally....!
likely the cloth insert isn`t original..
