Why so little on the Dino

Here it is. (I think I posted a picture on the Maserati forum a few months ago). RHD 4.9 SS. Verde Gemma. The interior colour is not as bold as the Dino though!

Apologies, only just seen your reply. And OMG, she is stunning !!
Same car that was @ the NEC in either 14 or 15 ?

Ive been in Love with the Ghibli, since 1974, when my Late Dad bought his friends ( bought from new ) Oro Gold / dark tan September 1967 built one and shipped it over from the States.
It was the 50 th Ghibli built, AM115 100.

This photo was taken in circa Autumn 1974, @ High Beech, Epping Forest.

Dad died far too young @ just 41, in September 75. By 1990, his car was in Carmel, California. Finally after over 30 years of searching, there it was in November 18, on Car and Classic, in Austria and for sale with a dealer. Sadly some muppet had re painted it yellow and fitted wires to it. Along with some poor welding repairs.
I wanted to buy it, but the greedy dealer, wants a ludicrous £220,000 quid for it.....

Yes, same one that was at the NEC, I couldn't take my eyes off it....

rat rod,

If you can find a copy for a reasonable price, I highly recommended seeking out Matthias Bartz's 'Dino Compendium'. It is unquestionably the Dino bible, and a real gem for anyone who love these cars.

When it was being sold direct from the author, the price was around £120 I think.

eBay asking prices are £2k+, but actual sold prices are more like £800-1k. I'd think there might be some available privately for more like £500.

Boy, The prices vary a great deal, prefer the later one,

IS -UK are you reading this or have you already got a copy.

Thanks for posting torquespeak.

I bought one direct from Matthias when he released the book. He's a great guy and helped me with a number of details on my cars and I sourced a couple of items for some of his cars in return.

Thought you might have.

When I picked up my first Macan in 2014 the first thing I saw when drawing up to the dealership was ISUKs Dino. You can see it lurking in the background of this photo

Not sure if this floats everyone’s boat, but I enjoyed watching it.

There's that Dino again in that gorgeous Verde Germoglio colour , Make no apologies for repeating myself, it shouldn't work on a classic Ferrari but it just does, makes other Dino's look a little bland.

Not so sure a Daytona would carry it off so well ,

Didn't know it was for sale, just found it on " Car& Classic , Although there's a lot of fan's on here including me

the colour is very Marmite for most who are buying as a investment may be making them a little wary.

Simon Furlonger got another Dino in a lovely Verde Pino colour but p.o.a so no bargain basement.

agree - Daytona is a little large for that hue, although I used to regularly see a giallo fly Daytona which worked well when roof was down.

I'm definitely a fan of the colour. I suspect investor hesitation may be as much related to the fact that the block is unfortunately a replacement and there is no clear history on when/why the block was replaced.

You have a good point there,bearing in mind there's so many for sale and for money asked will be difficult if not matching numbers,

Probably mattered less when i bought mine ,at £12,500 for the first one then £28K for the second one some years later things like that

were less important. Just got to find a buyer who will forgive that and pay more importance to the colour and condition.

That was an enjoyable half hour!! That black 308 and the ambitious Dino project with the 458 engine are something else.

Yeah, very enjoyable video that. When is a Dino no longer a Dino though? For me a restomod should still have the character and essence of the original car. Although an interesting, if rather crazy project a 458 engined Dino is way too far removed from the original. Maybe it's too modern as I like Dave Lee's F40 engined car!

I didn't see an electric Dino, now that would be sacrilege!

[SpartacusF]

There used to be a Dino parked in the high street outside my school in the 1970s and I always promised myself one. Then the prices jumped to 250+ and I managed to forget about it, but now one could be within reach. Does anyone have a market analysis of what Dino prices have done? And maybe this asset class as a whole? And what they could do? (Yes I know it is an emotional thing, but it is still a chunk of change).

[BobToc]

I don’t have any real insight on value, but it caught my eye that there are 5 in the Silverstone Ferrari auction. Seemed like a lot.

[Oaky]

Yes and not at the anticipated price levels I was expecting except the C&F gold one.

BobToc-------- May have flooded their own market but could be good for the buyer,

Not often you get a choice of 5 Dino's under one roof,



Oaky---------- , Going to be a interesting auction value wise,

These retro cars from the 80's & 90's seem to be in fashion with a Integrale fetching £218K and a Impreza's at £155K

both limited edition cars granted so anything can happen.

Remember turning a Dino down for £3K ,only had a E type worth £1,800 at the time and the cloths i stood in,

Then some years later paid £12,500 for my first Dino then thought i over payed for my second one at £28K ,

Then my inconsiderate wife decided we need to move house so goodbye Dino then she divorced me
