1979

For Sale is my Ferrari Dino 308GT4, chassis no. 14644, engine no. F106AL 03491

This car was sold in the UK originally -by Cooper Car Sales Co., on 28 March 1979. In its original specification it came with factory colour Rosso Chiaro 20-R-190, with a black hid interior and carpets. It was also equipped with air conditioning and the Wide Wheel option.

It was lightly driven until 2008 at which time it passed into the hands of a collector and was taken off its road license as SORN until 2015. At that time it had a full dealer service history as indicated by the service book up through the 31,000 mile service . In 2015 the car was purchased and restored by the new owner. The restoration included a full respray in the original factory cherry red, recommissioning of the suspension and full service of the engine including cam belts. Pictures and receipts support the process.

I purchased the car in November 2020 by which time the speedometer had been replaced, the combined mileage of the two speedometers totalling circa 32,000 miles.

Since I have owned the car, it has been treated to an upgraded stainless steel exhaust box, new OEM spec Michelin XWX tyres, and most recently a major service which included: replacement of all cam seals; new water pump; new cam belts; re-cored the original alloy radiator; all new cooling system plumbing; new clutch cable, along with other miscellaneous bits including the installation of CMC alloy pedal covers.

I have also added a near-period Nakamichi stereo but that has not yet been wired into the car.

As a result of all of this work, the car leaks no fluids of any kind, runs and sounds as it should and is an absolute joy to drive.

Problems: traditional sticky power windows go up and down but not very efficiently. I have the recommended regulator booster kit ready to install.

The aircon needs to be converted to modern gas, which I am in the process of completing.

It's a joy to drive and with summer here, I am putting a few miles on her but still, find one with under 40k on the clock anywhere else.
