Last time I heard of one being sold it was for millions! Could possibly be a replica, being an 'm' plate is it not a tad late to be a Dino?

Lucky you! If that was a genuine Dino then that was the 'daddy', built by Enzo Ferrari and named after his son who was tragically killed.

The one I am referring to did go in an auction, maybe it had illustrious owners.

The car indeed is a 1973 246 GT Dino.

This classic and nowadays much sought-after Ferrari was named after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredino, who died in 1956, aged 24. Enzo Ferrari credits his son with the inspiration for a series of successful small and medium capacity V6 racing engines built by Ferrari from 1956, and in turn the name was given to a new line of mid-engined production Ferrari V6 coupés which first went on sale in 1969 in two-litre form. The definitive 246 Dino, with its 2.4 litre V6, appeared in late 1969 and fewer than 3,000 were built before introduction of the slightly larger, and completely restyled V8 engined 308 Dino in 1973. The delightful bodywork was designed by Pininfarina, and was built in steel by Scaglietti. It covered a straightforward chassis of tubular steel which carried wishbone independent suspension at each corner. The compact engine, with four chain-driven overhead camshafts, was mounted transversely above the five-speed gearbox and just ahead of the rear axle line, allowing both a comfortable cockpit and usable boot space. With its flexible engine, uncomplicated chassis and outstanding handling, the superb looks of the 246 Dino is a true classic, the like of which has made the name Ferrari possibly the most revered of all motor manufacturers. It is certainly one of the most collectible of all Seventies sports cars. The car on offer today is one of only 488 right hand drive cars produced and was first registered on the 28th September, 1973 to Gerald Capps of Torbay. RBB 36M was in his ownership for less than 2 years before it was sold on. The car was used regularly in the early seventies until 1985 where upon the car was put into storage due to ill health. The car remained in storage for 12 years until 1997 when it was inherited by the then owners nephew, (the current owner) and fully restored by Wildae Restorations Ltd with bills totalling approximately £50,000. RBB 36M was back to its former glory and back on the road in 2002 and has since only covered 2,000 dry miles. The car is finished in red with a black leather interior and is described by the vendor to be in excellent condition. This Dino was serviced 8 months ago and is supplied with a V5 certificate, bills, a current MoT valid until July this year and should have a new tax certificate prior to the sale. This 3 owner from new Dino, we are sure, will be a delight and enjoyable addition to any enthusiasts stable.

This particular car was sold at auction (28th February 2006) for £50,932


I think that about covers it.
