Vehicle Description
This beautiful Ferrari 246 Dino is one of only 272 UK-delivered
cars completed in right hand drive and one of only 116 produced in
the striking blue Azzurro Metallizzato colour. Constructed on 24th
January 1973, the Ferrari had been registered as PGX5L and
delivered to its first owner, a Denise McCann of Sydney Street,
London by 6th March. It remained in London for less than a year
before moving to Banbury in 1974 when it was acquired by a Mr
Graham Morris who kept it for almost 4 years before selling it to a
Mr Richard Colton in March 1978. The next move, in 1981, was to
prove a significant one when it was acquired by Mr Martin Abbott
who was to keep it for the next 23 years. During Mr Abbott�s
ownership the car was carefully maintained and the meticulous
mileage records, numerous invoices and other correspondence attest
to the care that the car received during this time. With Mr
Abbott�s advancing years the Ferrari moved, in 2004, to its most
recent owner who commissioned a full body-off bare-metal
professional restoration, during which time the car was returned to
its highly attractive and original Azzurro Metallizzato colour
scheme having previously been painted red. Since the completion of
most of the work, the car has barely been used and as such presents
in virtually-new condition with its delightful blue paint and Nero
leather interior. With the final detailing currently being
undertaken by JD Classics the car will be available in December
2016. With full matching numbers, extensive history file, known
ownership record, leather document pouches, complete tool kit and a
very rare original jack it offers the chance to acquire a stunning
Ferrari Dino with excellent provenance. Please contact us for
further details.�POA
