nice and very intersting car! We will try the Targa Florio next year.... and Imagine, John Lennon? Ciao Oscar
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... quite off topic though.......
Fantastico! You da man! What a great addition to the collection. How are the gullwing doors working? -F
@Jim, I already congratulated you on this car some months ago, but I think I will have to do it once more! She is simply a stunning timeless working sculpture, and one of those to compare with the Eiffel Tower in Paris in a way......everybody has seen her on pictures, and everyone knows what she is!!! Congrats my friend, and take care of her!! All our best Tina and Carsten
Would be very interesting to know if other production series serial numbers were allocated to special studies like this - and how they ended up using the same number on two different cars. My guess would be that when once the decision to keep this one "forever" had been made, the existing papers were transferred to the next car coming up so it could be sold. Best wishes, Kare
Great news Jim, congratulations on your new car. Never suspected such a car to be sold to a privateer. This is an old photo from somewhere sometime. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi I must say I didn't either. Do you know where that was taken? Furman The doors still work fine but we will be lubing the hindges. Oscar Thanks.
Now I hope P4/5 does not become the neglected child as you take your newly adopted child around the globe.
:O Congrats James ! Knowing you , the car will be a regular sight on the streets and that is awesome !
Someone needs to do a contemporary "reinterpretation" of the picture with the scantily clad lady in front of the yellow racer. Quick testshoot, find the daughter of that model !?
Jim, this is in Paris 1967. Notice also that the headlight cavities are not yet painted in black. Nice to see this car in your collection. Maybe you could try to do the same now with the other Dino prototipo that Pininfarina donated (what a mistake) to the Le Mans collection. I think this car has nothing to do in this Museum...
Wow. I am shocked that this car has found a private home - this is the Mona Lisa to we Dino owners. You will now have to become a regular in Dino discussion threads now. Congrats. Is there a special Dino key fob for your car or is it just the regular Dino keyfob? ...Keith
Hi Jim, I really like the car very much, but how does it drive?? The same as it looks? Like a modern car or more like a Dino? You never know, we might swap cars for a day at the Targia Forio.....next year? ciao Oscar
Fantasic Jim well done the car looks great good time to be a ferrari fan in europe this summer eh lookingforward to seeing it Regards Sean
A belated but well deserved congrats Jim. I did wonder why you asked me about the Dino last year...should have put 2 & 2 together really. Should have known it was going to be your next love. Suppose i better drag those old negatives out then
These are the two oldest color photos of the Dino 206 Competizione that I can find here at home, these were taken from the October 1967 issue of Quattroruote, at the time of the Frankfurt Auto Show (or previous to the unveiling??). Sorry about the line in the first picture, it was spread over two pages. As initially shown, the car had silver front and rear wings, not black. And the windshield trim and the side molding were originally black, not chrome. Also, as previously pointed out, the headlight buckets were not yet painted black, and there were no front turn signals in the headlight buckets or on the front fenders. I'm certainly not saying that the car is WRONG as currently shown, any changes that were made to it were done by Pininfarina themselves. I'm just pointing out that it was slightly different at its earliest showing. Congratulations, Jim. She's a real beauty! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
