"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"
For our final look at todays Coys Sale at Ascot we have selected the following .
1972 FIAT DINO 2.4 Litre COUPE
Estimate: £20,000 - £25,000
Registration Number: Italian Registered
Chassis Number: 135BC0004485
Even before famous Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari became a part of the Fiat conglomerate there was a strong relation between these two companies. The Fiat Dino is a striking example of this relationship: a car that benefited both Ferrari and Fiat in different ways.
Actually the “Dino” name was meant to become a separate marque for sports cars fitted with the small Ferrari V6 engine and developed both by Ferrari and Fiat. Ferrari held on to that intention and all Ferrari-produced Dinos left the Modena factory without the coveted Ferrari badges. Fiat on the other hand felt that it couldn't do without the advantages of the association of their products with the rich Ferrari racing heritage and so the Turin-produced Dinos were fitted with Fiat badges. This resulted in two lines of Dino sports cars: the GT models produced by Ferrari and the coupé and spider models made by Fiat. Nowadays, some thirty years later, Fiat Dinos are relatively rare but loved by a select group of people and slowly but surely getting more popular as a classic. Both the spider and the coupé feature attractive styling by renowned designers and the cars share the same thoroughbred engines with their Ferrari counterparts. They have an exciting performance, a luxurious interior and are fun to drive.
This 1972 Fiat Dino is finished in brown with a black interior has had only two owners from new and we have been informed has been driven by the previous owner every weekend for the past few years.
Knowing that it is a reliable and working Fiat Dino is made special by the understanding that it is a completely original matching numbers example, which has not undergone any major restoration in its lifetime. Supplied with an Italian 'Libretto' document, this is a charming and original car.

Model specs
1967-1973 FIAT Dino Coupe 2000/2400
Overview
Though mechanically identical to the closely related Dino Spiders, the Coupé has a completely different body, designed by Bertone. The same changes were made in 1969, from 2.0 to a 2.4-litre quad-cam V6, along with a tougher ZF five-speed gearbox and the independent rear suspension swiped from underneath Fiat’s 130 saloon. The 2000 and 2400 bodies look identical at first sight, but changes in grille, badge and vent arrangements mean that only the bootlid is a straight swap between cars. The 2400 was assembled at the Ferrari factory.6068
