Description
This is an incredible and extremely unique opportunity to purchase the truly legendary 1970 Fiat Dino 2400. Finished in Azuro Francia Metallic Blue with the beautiful Nero 'tuck and roll' Leather interior, perfectly set off with the much desired Chromodora alloy wheels. Producing 178bhp from a 2. 4 litre V6 engine straight out of the Ferrari production line in Maranello this is one quick car. This example boasts an incredible 13, 600 kilometres from new, and has a remarkable and interesting story behind it. The car was seized from the Mafia by the Italian Police in 1970 and was stored in an Italian Police warehouse until approximately 2004 before being purchased by Mike Brewer and the Wheeler Dealers team and brought to the UK in 2012. This now famous Dino was then sold to a private car collector who owned and loved the car for a number of years, enjoying every mile before part-exchanging it with ourselves for another vehicle. Not shown on the program was the £5, 000 spent by Wheeler Dealers with the renowned Dino Specialists ‘24 Hundred’ (The Dino Workshop) to make the car 100%. The new owner then revisited 24 Hundred to have some further work carried out at a cost of £1025 in 2012 then again in 2015 spending a further £2470 on a full service, strip and re-build of the carburettors and fuel pump wiring upgrade. 24 Hundred at the time confirmed it was the nicest Fiat Dino that had ever rolled into their workshop. Words cannot begin to describe the quality of this rare and fast appreciating classic, Quite simply, this fabulous Dino must be viewed in person to fully appreciate its quality.
