Interior
Step into the legend. A perfect 'Chairs' interior, fully restored to its 1973 glory.
Thanks to a meticulous restoration two years ago, the black leather has regained its original suppleness, while every detail—from the side panels to the iconic 'mouse hair' dashboard—has been flawlessly renewed. Equipped with factory-optional air conditioning and power windows, this cabin offers a level of supreme comfort that allows this vintage Ferrari to excel even in modern touring.
Drive
Relive the spirit of 1973 with every turn of the key.
With a freshly overhauled engine and a perfectly tuned chassis, this 'Chairs and Flares' drives as if it just left Maranello. Recent expert maintenance in Japan ensures it fires instantly with a visceral exhaust note. Beautifully sorted from the dash to the underpan, it is a 100% factory-spec masterpiece ready for the open road.
Exterior
The Pride of 'Fly Yellow'—A Radiant Symbol of the Sun.
Cherished in the arid climate of America since its birth in 1973, this Dino is the culmination of a recent, uncompromising full restoration. It features the glamorously flared factory wheel arches and the subtle metallic sheen of Campagnolo wide wheels. The chrome accents shine with mirror-like brilliance, while the Targa top boasts a luster that surpasses even its original finish.
