Hello... I'm looking for a late model chairs & flairs Dino coupe to add to my collection. If anyone here has one for sale or knows of one for sale please PM me. Thanks!
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!!
