RE: Ferrari 196S 'Dino': Time for Tea?
Tuesday 23rd July 2013
When a email arrives from DK Engineering with a link to 'probably the most expensive car ever on PH?!', everyday obligations tend to be discarded. Especially when there's a video to accompany it.
Ferrari 196S 'Dino': Time for Tea?
One of Ferrari's rarest sportscar racers on video - and it's for sale on PH!
The car in question is a Ferrari 196S Dino, the first V6 racer made carrying the name of Enzo's son. This car, chassis number 0776, was the first of only three cars built at the end of 1959 for the 1960 season and campaigned by the Rodriguez brothers Pedro and Ricardo. Ergo, even when discussing Ferrari's sportscar heritage, the 196S is quite some car.
Fortunately, the accompanying footage isn't the standard video that can be found in car adverts (but then this is hardly a standard car!). The Millbrook Alpine route plays host to the 196S Dino and its glorious V6, the presenter certainly not keeping much in reserve when driving this hugely valuable Ferrari.
Ah yes, the value. After some not so covert digging (we asked DK upfront), we found that any prospective buyer should be willing to part with between £6.5 and £10 million pounds. Judging by this video, it could be worth every penny.

Surely there's a certain ginger Radio 2 presenter who'd be interested in this little number? Altho it may be too much even by his standards!
Someone Tweet it to him?Or is this the sort of thing that those in the know already know about?
However, he has only just recently bought a 1961 Ferrari 250 TR61 for an undisclosed sum so I'm doubtful he's in the market for this car.

A hell of a difference between £6.5 and £10 million pounds.
not so much difference if you had several hundred millions in spare cash/liquid assets. I would guess the buyer of this would likely be in that league...Buyer: I'm interested in the red car, how much?
Seller Between £6.5 and 10 million pound.
Buyer: Okay, I'll give you 6.5 million.
Is that not how it works?
