Of these, only two were equipped with the Type 233 engine more powerfulwhich contained the final evolution of the development of the Dino 206 S engine. And the very last of these is up for auction via the Sotheby’s platform: we are talking about a very particular unit of the Maranello racing spider, which after having made its debut in 1967 and underwent a careful restoration business suit tuned by Ferrari Classiche and Red Book certified in 2014.
While the body was designed by Piero Drogo, the engine of this sports car was conceived by Enzo Ferrari’s son, Dino, whose name is exalted precisely by this model. During the period of activity, in addition to having become part of some of the collections more significant of the world including the famous “Mas du Clos” by Pierre Bardinon, this Ferrari Dino 206 S raced several Italian uphill time trials between 1966 and 1967.
