Description
This fantastic Ferrari 246 GTS E Series Dino is one of only 272 UK-delivered cars completed in right hand drive and one of 1274 produced in total. Ordered in September 1972 it was delivered to its first owner, a Mr Michael Taylor of London in late 1972 and came finished in Giallo Fly 20.Y.191 Salchi paint with Black interior and optional electric windows. Mr Taylor was a property consultant by profession but was involved with classic cars from an early age through the family firm Taylor & Crawley and was also a successful racing driver in his own right, even competing in the 1959 British and 1960 Belgian GPs. This initial link with motorsport was to set a pattern for the car and the most recent owner is a highly successful top-flight Formula One driver who commissioned the car’s restoration, which was completed in 2015 by renowned specialists Clark & Carter. Following a strip-down to bare metal, the car was meticulously overhauled with every panel and component fully refurbished and as such it now presents in immaculate cosmetic and mechanical condition. With full matching numbers, Ferrari Classiche, original sales invoice, tools and jack it provides an exceptional opportunity to own one of Ferrari’s all time classics in superb condition and with unmatched provenance.
