Market commentary
This Dino looks good at ten feet, but not so good more closely viewed and should be considered fully-priced at this result. It sold at Christie's Retromobile auction in 2003 for $86,575. When it was offered again by Christie's at Het Loo six months later they qualified its description with a note on needing 'thorough mechanical service', a warning addressed by the subsequent cosmetic restoration and new engine at Ferrari Classiche. Even in the current environment with Dinos the object of avid attention it is no better than the mediocre price it brought.
