246 GT (1969 to 1974)

The Ferrari Dino 246 GT (1969–1974) is a seminal masterpiece of automotive design, representing the first Ferrari-built model to be produced in significant numbers and the pure mechanical evolution of the 2.0L 206 GT. In the 2026 Australian market, the 246 GT has cemented its status as a "blue-chip" collector asset, with desirability reaching an all-time high as enthusiasts move away from digital performance toward the tactile, high-revving engagement of the 2.4L cast-iron V6. The buyer pool in Australia is exceptionally competitive, consisting of ultra-high-net-worth individuals and historic racing connoisseurs who specifically target the roughly 71 genuine Australian-delivered units (out of the 488 RHD models built globally). This scarcity creates a massive premium for "home-market" cars over UK imports, as local provenance—such as being a Melbourne-delivered "W.H. Lowe" car—is viewed as the ultimate hedge against market volatility. While international prices vary, recent activity in the Australian specialist market (including the high-profile 2025 sale of the David Jones AO collection) confirms that perfectly restored, numbers-matching 246 GTs remain one of the most liquid and secure classic car investments available on our shores.
