hi the car was stolen late July the engine number does not correspond to the Ferrari list because the engine was replaced shortly after the original owner an Italian bought the car you will see further down in the post it was a bonhams sale and in the description of the car the details of the engine swap are mentioned the details I gave are from the restoration which was done in London at Autofficina

Any updates? Any other photos? Should be easier to recognize with the 16” wheels.

 

A mutual friend alerted me to the theft and I suggested he contact Louis and have him post a thread on here with the details as the Dino community is fairly small and someone may come across the car at some point. This is a photo he sent me of the car.

Details that I see that are visually unique to identifying this Dino:

1) Passenger side mirror
2) No black rocker/chin paint
3) 16” Chromodoras
4) Parallel wipers
5) Short front bumpers
6) Front windshield stickers (right side)
7) Red brake calipers

 

Not sure I get what's unique about the passenger side mirror...the other items I can understand

 

Left hand drive car with a mirror on the passenger side, is somewhat unusual. Hard to tell if it has a mirror on the driver side.

 

That’s why I said “passenger side” mirror

 

From this photo it appears that there are mirrors on both sides, prudent for driving a LHD car in the UK.

 

I see this config (dual mirrors) all the time, which is why it doesn't seem unusual to me.

 

Just a small detail along with the other details that would make me notice…

 

In Europe, it is not that common. On this photo, it is just the grey 246 (and a couple of the 208/308s) that have two mirrors.

 

I didn't say that we NEVER see them, but it actually is relatively uncommon in the U.S. too.

 

In Europe most cars of the period, came without outside mirrors. Your choice of factory installed, or whatever you desired in the aftermarket options.
Vitaloni was a hot seller in Italy in the early 70's.
Of course, different countries, different rules. AR, no mirrors in '73.

 

Bump.
