1974 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4

This Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 is a characterful 1970s sports car, which has recently undergone an engine overhaul with Ferrari Maserati Sydney. It is powered by a flat-plane crank 2.9-litre V8 producing around 187kW / 250bhp, which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed gated manual transmission. It has now been with its third owner for three years. The odometer shows 47,780 km, but this is not warranted. Though strictly badged simply ‘Dino’ for early cars, numerous owners and even some importers and dealers added ‘Ferrari’ and ‘Cavallino’ badging to the car. This early example of the Dino 308 GT4 is finished in Rosso Corsa, over a beige and cream fabric and vinyl-trimmed interior with a black vinyl dashboard top. It rides on 14-inch six-hole wheels with coloured ‘Dino’ centre caps, shod with Michelin XWX tyres. Equipment includes a sunroof, a three-spoke Momo steering wheel, electric windows, Veglia Borletti dials and an upgraded speaker system. The cloth seat upholstery is now believed to be original, but appears well-matched to the factory pattern down to the fluted seat centres. Accompanying the vehicle will be evidence of its recent engine overhaul. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: minor wear on the transmission tunnel trim from shifting gears. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The engine was extensively overhauled in March 2022 by Ferrari Maserati Sydney, at a cost of around AUD$50,000. New tyres were fitted in 2022. The car was also serviced in 2021 and 2020. This early Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 is a well-presented example of what is still one the most underrated cars to exit the Maranello gates. Benefiting from an engine overhaul at a main dealer in March 2022, it is now ready to be enjoyed as intended, out on its next owner’s favourite roads.
