Equipment
Cromodora Fiat wheels, Michelin X tires, wood-rim steering wheel. Maranello Rosso Collection.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Scratched, dripped, cracked old repaint. Sound original interior, weak trim chrome. Scratched windshield. Rear wheel arches cracked at the joints with the alloy body. Pleasingly original but visibly tired and aged. In the Violati Collection since the late 1970s, very original but also tired and cosmetically unappealing.
Market commentary
The Dino 206s have several defining attributes: limited production, free-revving 2-liter engines and lightweight alloy bodies, as well as being the first of the Dino progeny. Violati's is one of the best of them, largely original with only limited cosmetic attention to keep it looking good, and it brought a superior price even among the seriously expensive values recently ascribed to later 2.4-liter Dino 246s. Expensive, but a car to be proud to own and continue to preserve.
