Just picked up a 246 dino Gt to keep the f40 company in the garage. Really surprised how good the dino is to drive for a 34 year old car.

Lots more photos of each if anyone interested.

The Dino is simply stunning, my favourite Ferrari ever.

I wish I could be jealous but how could I be, I see you as its current caretaker!

Hi Andy
Was it your F40 that I saw a few months ago, while picking up some alloy wheels in Maidstone, Kent.
The registration rings a bell.
I can remember being mighty impressed by the sight.
It is not every day that you see an F40 on UK roads.

Not my one. Seems a few have NT* as the reg. The poster I had on my bedroom wall 15 years ago had reg F40 NTG so was great to buy F40 NTR for mine. Still got that original poster!!

Wasn't NTG Nick Mason's car? It did a heck of a lot of magazine tests, tv and the like, as well as posters.

Oops, no. That was NPG.

F40 is in a different league for performance if sheer speed is your thing but Dino 246 is in a different league for looks. The prettiest car ever. That, Miura SV, Boxer and Diablo are the best looking cars ever made imo.

There's also 'F40 NPG' which is owned by Pink Floyd's Nick Mason.
