1973 DINO 246GT For Sale

This is a great car with only 4 owners in total with fantastic traceable history, please read below . This late model, confirmed matching numbers car was ordered new by the then Dino and Ferrari agents, Brandon Motors of Coventry for stock, on the 9th May 1973 to be finished in Rosso Chiaro 20-R-190 with black 161 interior trim. Order D/ 560 was confirmed by the Ferrari factory on the 23rd May 1973. The car was completed and invoiced by the factory on Tuesday 31st July 1973 to Maranello Concessionaires for delivery to the UK by truck. Upon its arrival with Maranello Concessionaires, the car was invoiced-09734-to Brandon Motors by Maranello Concessionaires Ltd on the 9th August 1973, but then re invoiced a month later to the then North West Dino agents, S. G. M (Garages) Ltd of Newcastle-upon -Tyne, who, presumably having sold a 246 GT in red with black, had the car allocated to them. The car was registered to the Mr G C then of Torbay, on the Newcastle upon Tyne number, RBB 36M on Friday 28th September 1973. The then list price was £5288. 02 plus delivery charges number plates and road tax. Mr C a Rolls Royce specialist used the car covering some 12, 000 in the 17 months he owned it, having SGM Garages of Newcastle upon Tyne carry out the B coupon service on the 25th October 1973.
Mr C sold the car to Mr W K of Cornwall with 12, 163 total miles (the speedometer having been replaced at 10, 613 miles) for £4000 on Saturday 11th February 1975-the sales invoice actually says 11, 000 total miles. Mr K had the car maintained by Torbay Garage, Maranello Concessionaires, Maltin Car Concessionaires Ltd and Heron (Exeter) for the next three years, adding some 40, 000 miles.
Due to ill health, the car was put into a storage barn where it remained for some twelve years until it was inherited by Mr K nephew, Mr R D of Cornwall, who became only the third and penultimate owner on the 15th July 1995. Mr D had Wildae Restorations Ltd of Braunton, Devon-now owned by official Ferrari workshops, Joe Macari-, restore the bodywork, taking just over three years from the first invoice -1st October 1997 to the last-31st December 2000 and £51, 614. 06!
Following a road test and report by Mr W B of Motorvation in May 2006 the car was purchased via Coys of London, once again by a gentleman from Cornwall. From January 2007 to July 2007-with some 76, 000 total miles, the car was with respected engineer Neil Twyman who removed the engine/ gearbox from the car, completely rebuilt it, including balancing, and refitting to the car. He also rebuilt the suspension front and rear, fitting new spring and shock absorbers, invoices totalled £24, 519. 42 for the six months of work.
In July 2013 with 79, 153 total miles, the car was sent to former Maranello Concessionaires mechanic Neal Lucas in Surrey where it underwent a full service including re-torqueing of the cylinder heads and checking/ adjusting the valve guides, spending some £3, 837. 55.
The car recently underwent a re-trim in black hide with a respected Hampshire trimmer.
