That is so, so good. I can’t quite get my head round £75k for it when a useable lower mileage one is half that and it needs green seats to be perfect. Still lush though.

Really must make more progress with mine, the low prices are what has it left sat in the corner though, I’ll need it to sell for 100k+ to make it a viable restoration. Which is why most of them out there are full of filler rather than being done properly.

My neighbour has a 246 Dino he paid £40k for not all that long ago that’s probably now £300k so it feels like they could and should be more, but they’re old enough that they ought to have had their moment by now. Maybe it’s the Bertone and the 2+2 things holding them back. They’re so lovely to sit in and to drive. Nicer than a 308 GTB/S I reckon.

It's a looooooooooong time since 246 Dinos were £40k - unless he was very lucky ...

For many years they were regarded as one of the less desirable models - to the extent that many were 'cannibalised' & their parts used to build 250 GT SWB & GTO replicas - but in more recent years (with far fewer remaining) they have gained more favour ...

Thanks. The body does look a bit long.

How about an E-type? I didn't realise how special they were until I've seen this new video from Tyrrell yesterday:

Hi All
So given the ads potted history of 2067GT can we assume there is a T Hoyle/C Lawrence built ally comp spec body still knocking around looking for a chassis and engine..?

All the best
Ian F.

PS. Might have a go at the lottery this weekend.

Having had the pleasure of owning both, the 246 certainly is a beautiful looking car but the early dry sumped 308 is a much better drive. It was engineered and designed specifically to address all the shortcomings of the 246, longer wheelbase so it can go round corners and more room in the cabin so a normal sized person can actually fit in it. The extra couple of cylinders also gave it the increased hp it's predecessor so desperately needed. IMHO of course!

Jaguar C type surely. The best looking car they made? Made the 550s look slow
