Why so little on the Dino

[GVO]

This is my perfect pair. Small, light, pretty and not frustratingly overpowered...

As you say the perfect pair,fit nicely in the garage as well.

Is it better to drive a slow car fast(not suggesting your cars are slow) or a fast car slow comes to mind.

Just stumbled on this thread after reading the piece in issue 222 of Octane about the Dino and relating what was being said about it - small, lovely balance, not overpowered, everyday practicality, lovely to look at, special, not especially popular when new so quite rare etc - to the A110 I've just taken delivery of. I think this post confirms my thoughts exactly!

This is the Dino in which I enjoyed four very happy years driving undoubtedly the best car I have ever owned, including one of my best ever road trips, a 2,500 mile round trip to Maranello for the 50th. anniversary celebration in 2018 (last two photos). There are only two Ferraris I have ever wanted that I could afford, and this was one of them. I consider myself to be a very lucky man to have the memories of Dino ownership.

What a stunning colour both inside and out, a jewel of a car ,

Looks like it was born that beautiful not made.

No car needs to be any bigger than this,they fit like a clove

Owned two Dino's some years ago and although i've had plenty

of faster exotic cars since not a day goes by that i

regret selling them especially that speed isn't number

one factor anymore, It's deeper more emotional than that ,

it's the way the car makes you feel.

And what a fantastic arial photo of the 50th anniversary,clever stuff,

Thankyou. Blu Dino Metallizzato, very similar.

My father saw a Dino at the Udder Farm shop near Shaftesbury the other day. He was in the gym so couldn’t grab a photo for me - does it belong to anyone on here? Lovely to know it’s being used.

Spotted today at a local car meet.

That must have been a wrench to let go on of. What did you replace it with?

Colleen on "Ferraris Online" channel just released a video called "Ferrari 246 Dino ,first of the Ferrari V6"

A great video as always and sooooo much easier on the eye than Shmee 150,

that's a lovely car, looks lighter than the one my father-in-law bought recently, hasn't been delivered yet so not sure if this picture is a good representation of it's true colour!

From that photo your father in law's car is Blu Scuro Dino which is a solid navy blue.

Beautifully done, but I can't help feeling it's lost something in swapping the V6 for a V8. The flat plane V8 is by far the dullest sounding Ferrari engine, no matter how you tune it. I'd much rather have a tuned and enlarged V6 if I wanted more performance from it.

Can someone help me understand Dino prices at the moment? There seem to be a lot listed around the £300k mark but many of these have been for sale for years. Is this a sign that their market price is really below this? What’s the bid-offer spread for one of these?
