The Fiat Dino was a joint effort between Fiat and Ferrari. Ferrari was facing a Formula 2 rule stating that no engine could be raced that was produced in a volume less than 500 units. Ferrari's automobile production capacity was limited so the solution was to install their engine into a Fiat-based road car. The Fiat Dino was introduced at the Turin Motor Show of 1966 and a coupe version debuted one year later at the Geneva Motorshow. The coachwork is by Pininfarina.
The Spider is powered by a 2400cc, 190 horsepower, V-6 four-cam overhead valve engine. The transmission is a five-speed.
In late 1964, Enzo Ferrari approached Fiat Patriarch Gianni Agnelli about working together on a new engine which Ferrari needed because of a rule change in Formula 2 racing. To qualify an engine for the series, it had to be used in an automobile with a production run of at least 500 units, too many for Ferrari to accomplish alone.
Agnelli agreed to design a sports car with the Dino engine, and so was born Fiat's most prestigious model since the SV of the 1950s.
The first Fiat Dino Spyder, designed by Pininfarina, was shown with a 2L V-6 in 1966. The engine was identical to the one used in Ferrari's 206 Dino but was front-mounted. The top speed was 130 MPH.
In 1969, an updated version was introduced with a 2.4-liter V6. Producing 50 more horsepower than the 2-liter, it had a new 5-speed ZF gearbox and IRS and production was moved to the Ferrari factory in Maranello.
In all, 1580 Dino Spyders were produced; only 420 had the 2.4-liter motor, of which this car is one.
This car underwent a total nut and bolt restoration at the famed Talacrest Company in England in 1996, with no expense spared.
