Recently uncovered after years out of the spotlight, chassis 00824 represents one of the earliest and most desirable variants of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT. As an authentic L-Series example, it belongs to the first production series of the 246 GT, with only 357 examples produced, making it the rarest and most sought-after series among Dino enthusiasts. “Among the rarest Dino variants produced, chassis 00824 combines early L-Series production, an extraordinarily uncommon factory interior specification, and a fascinating international history, qualities that make it a particularly compelling discovery today.” Early L-Series Dino 246 GT 1 of 357 Produced Originally finished in Blu Dino Metallizzato (106-A-72) One of approximately 255 Dino 246 GTs specified in Blu Dino Metallizzato Delivered new with Bianco interior with rare dark blue cloth seat inserts Original interior specification confirmed by Ferrari production records Vintage roll bar believed to be a period dealer or early-owner installation Delivered new through S.V.E.A., Bari, Italy Known history spanning Italy, Germany, Canada, and the United States An ideal candidate for preservation, restoration, or return to its highly distinctive factory color combination Factory records confirm that 00824 was originally finished in Blu Dino Metallizzato (106-A-72), a stunning period color applied to just 255 Dino 246 GTs. Even more significant is its documented factory interior specification: Bianco vinyl with dark blue cloth seat inserts (“Panno Blu”), an exceptionally uncommon combination seldom encountered on surviving Dinos today. While many cars have been restored in more conventional leather configurations over the decades, this early Dino's original white-and-blue cloth interior stands as a fascinating example of Ferrari's bold and distinctly Italian design choices of the era. 00824 is equipped with a later Dino V6 engine as well as an early correct type replacement gearbox Today the car presents in red over black, but its original factory colors remain documented through Ferrari production records and period research. Adding further intrigue is a vintage roll bar believed to have been installed when the car was nearly new, either by the supplying dealer or during its early European ownership, lending the car a unique period-correct sporting character. Having spent time in Italy, Germany, Canada, and the United States, chassis 00824 offers an exciting opportunity to acquire an early L-Series Dino with known provenance, rare factory specifications, and tremendous restoration potential.
