    This Dino 246GT chassis number 05202 was originally a curious, but extremely attractive green, officially Verde Medio Niyinsky, and was purchased by my late father, from Mr. Ralph Lowe of W.L Lowe, the local Ferrari dealer. I have attached a few photos of the car in my family's back yard in about 1976. We also had a Silver Ferrari 365 GTC4, and we raced these cars on long road trips and at the Winton Circuit. The GTC4 was faster on the straight, but the high speed handling and cornering of the Dino on new Michelin XWD tyres was unbeatable. The CB Radio call signs were Silver Streak, and SweetPea.

    I believe that now it has been resprayed red.

    Does anyone know where the car is now and who owns it?

    What a stunning local Melbourne car. It would be a crime to respray that car red with such a beautiful, unique original colour.

    Looks like it had a yellow pin strip on the sills? Was that factory too?
