    Guys,

    Fascinated by the restored / upgraded Dino with the 3.6 litre F40 engine. Just wondered how such a car is viewed by the those here on the thread. Looks a lot cooler than a 308, 355 or 458.

    I am thinking that in the future (perhaps next year given I have a small garage), what should I look for in a Dino? Good body (important no rust), strong mechanicals etc?

    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Dom

    I believe it was determined that the engine was not F40-derived, as claimed.

    Saw Kevin's original in Bologna last July at the Dino 50th.
    The Carbon Fibre engine lid drip trays literally shout "cool"!

    BTW, a 308 and an F40 block are so close that a serious amount of salesmanship would allow hyperbole as the same

    A real Dino 246 GT has a Dino V6 engine.

    And a real Dino 246 GT is not a Ferrari, but what gorgeous car it is! :)
