    Hello Bob,

    these cars are very difficult to find. Only 24 original chaires & flairs 246 GT`s are known.
    8 European models (I do own two of them)
    22 RHD models
    4 US-models

    The GTS chaires & flairs is much more common. 147 original cars are known.

    I do understand you are looking for a GT. I think a 246 GT with flairs is the ultimate Dino.
    It suits the GT much more than a GTS, where I prefer the standard model.

    Regards Matthias

    8 + 22 + 4 = 24 ???

    I remember only one chairs & flares car you own, Giallo Senape. Nocciola has only flares, but no "Daytona" chairs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Best,

    Volkmar

    Just a question, what is correct?

    chairs & flairs

    or

    chairs & flares

    It seems that both is correct?

    Thank you,

    Volkmar

    Actually, neither....

    the chairs were a seperate option from the flared fenders. I think the spelling is all a matter of who you ask

    The spelling 'Flare' means a number of things however in this context it refers to the gradual widening of the fender. If someone has a 'Flair' for something it usually means that they have a natural talent. English is the only language that I am aware of that has so many similar spellings but totally different meanings. It's the only one that I speak and I still need to look things up!!
