£105K Dino?

Anybody know anything about this car? £105K - it's like 1989 all over again.

 

Wow, that is a chunk of change.

I think 1989 was fuelled by speculators. I think 2006 is fuelled by collectors with real money. That being said, the Ferrari market rise over the last three years has been mercurial and a bit scary.

 

Ther are a few more 'higher' than that....

Never heard of "Bramley" as a dealer, but if "1972/L" means it's a 1972 L-series, (as everyone here knows) there was no such thing. Also there were no GTS L-series. These misstatements and multiple misspellings in their very sparse ad don't engender much in the way of confidence that they know much about their car, and prob not Dinos in general.

 

On second thought, maybe "1972/L" means left hand drive?

 

L mean Uk reg for 1972

You're right. Our Dino was first registered in the spring of '74 and was an 'M' registration. I guess it depends on when the cutoff was, but as I recall (and we're talkin' 30+ years ago that I lived there), it was (still is?) August. If I'm correct, L registrations took effect in August of '72.

It makes me wonder how much our immaculate, one-owner car might be worth...

Maybe it's just the silly season as 80-90% of these cars are sold in the spring here.

L is the year as discussed above and the changeover was 1 August. We now have two "year" changes in new format plates. Thus this year is "06"/"56" depending on which of the two periods the car is registered in.

 

Confusing?!
"L" as you say was late 72 early 73, "M" late 73 early 74.
Mine being March 73 is an "L"

 

I just saw this nice GT for sale at $139k:

This month's Hemmings is out, the cheapest 246GTS is at the $160k level and it has several defects;
- strange mouse hair on the dash,
- "extra" piping on the doors,
- the Daytona seats look too flat, missing the correct insert application
- "updated" outside rear view mirrors,
- a black steering wheel

that "strange mouse hair" is the type currently available. it has a bluish black color rather than the dark grey color of the old kind.

i agree, the seats look off. without seeing the car, it could just be the photos.
