    Ferrari's first attempt at a mid engined sports racer - a very rare car (can't have been more than 4 or 5 chassis made - some were designated as 246SP and 268SP, depending on engine size)

    I was wondering if the attached photo is the same body type. The photo belongs to the Scuderia Bear collection of images.

    cheers

    any relation to the "non-Ferrari" Dino-branded road car?

    No relation to the Dino production cars other than they were both made by Ferrari.
    They made 6 of these cars total.They were numbered based on the engine size and type.#0798 had a 2.6 8 motor so it was called 268SP.They also had a 2.4 6
    motor (designed by Jano) installed in several cars.They called them 246SP's.The 196SP was the "small six" of the 3.Chassis #0802,#0798 and #0790 all had square
    noses after they were modified by the private owners after the factory dumped the cars at the end of 1962-63.
    These ars are all based on the F1 1961-1962 Ferrari's.They have the same suspension(beefed up) and motors.Carlo designed the chassis.It wore out rear tires
    at a fast pace due to poor rear camber control.
    Chassis numbers:#0790,#0796,#0778,#0802,#0804,#0806

    OH MY GOD! It could've been a replica, but I saw this Ferrari model driving around my town (Montecito, CA) on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera on me, but being that there are many big collectors here, it could've been real....
