Description
– Fiat produced the Dino sports car between 1966 and 1973.
– It had rear-wheel drive and a front engine.
– The name “Dino” is derived from the Ferrari Dino V6 engine used in the car for Formula 2 racing.
– In 1967, F2 engines required six cylinders and a production of at least 500 examples within 12 months.
– Fiat and Ferrari reached an agreement for Fiat to produce the 500 engines needed for compliance.
– The Dino 2400 Coupe, originally silver-blue, was spray-painted Ferrari Giallo (yellow) by the current owner.
– The car underwent a fuel system overhaul, as well as upgrades to the brakes and cooling system.
– Only a few Dino 2400 Coupes are left in South Africa.
