    I think so, except the car I posted doesn't have the air intake next to the headlight, the advert for the car states it is a 246S but rebodied in Modena by Fantuzzi to look like its 1960's sister. ?

    the text of the sales link reads:

    Record Details

    Ferrari 246S Dino Front Engine Sports Racer - 1968 recreation

    This spectacular car was first registered in 1968 and was commissioned by an avid Ferrari enthusiast. Like its original 1960 sister car, this motorcar was bodied in Modena by expert panel crafters from Fantuzzi. Its timeless lines are complimented by the quick revving 2.4 litre Ferrari Dino engine and lightweight Borrani wheels. This car offers an exhilarating driving experience, and is extremely well constructed, test drive recommended.

    i would be interested to know when and where this was registered if it was first registered in 1968, i think that might be a mistake seeing as it has a 246 engine

    I was at Maranello the other week and have taken pictures of one across the road from the factory.I'm not sure if it was a mondial or this dino but it was original.I still have to get the pictures from the camera to the computer.Since my files are big ,how do you get to place pictures from jpeg to this Fchat if it accepts smaller picture files.
    i'm not that good with pictures and film transfer otherwise I have treasures to post!
