Hi,

I don't know much about them, but it is one of a very small number of Ferraris I personally like.

Problem is good ones are more expensive than the newer 3xx models.

A very beautiful car, but, very expensive to buy. Performance is not exactly blistering, given it is a 2.4 V6 with around 190bhp. Handling was exceptional for the era and they are small enough to be 'chuckable'.

Technically not a Ferrari either - when they came from the factory, NONE of them had ANY Ferrari badges on.

The whole point of the Dino, was that it was to be a marque in it's own right, to comemorate Enzo's son.

I reckon a 308 would give you better value for money. Got to be one of the cheapest Ferraris to run.

Dino's are fabulous, rare, and very desirable. Hence the reason a good one costs well over £50k, hence the reason you keep it in an air conditioned garage and play when the suns out.
As mentioned a 308 is far better value for money and much more usable. Dino's are fantastic though, just don't go racing anyone coz you'll get whipped by Johnny widewheel Saxo!
