Fresh service in May 2026
Completed in 1972, this E-series left hand drive example was supplied new to Germany. It would arrive in the UK in 2011 after purchase and import by noted Ferrari collector Stephen Pilkington from Sweden. The Dino was in a state of disrepair and purchased with the sole intention of the most comprehensive restoration possible.
Pilkington began the restoration alongside a 250 GTE, with the Dino seeing its engine removed and the car stripped in its entirety to its bare metal and chassis. In 2016, the car was sold partly restored along with a collection of spares to its current keeper. The restoration would be moved through a series of specialists, culminating in the works carried out by Hartwood Motors of Southport for final assembly.
Connolly 4208 Fawn leather was supplied to Coachtrimmers Luppi Tappezzeria of Modena who completed the interior work, complementing the bodywork in Grigio Fumo. Upon completion of the restoration in 2023, this Dino joined a significant collection and saw sparing use.
Ahead of sale, this 246 GT has been treated to a fresh service and carburettor tune up in May 2026. This Dino will further pass through our workshops as a part of the sale.
