The 246 GT Dino has been originally delivered to the Italian market being |
| sold through Motor SAS Roma/Italia to its first owner Rico Lanza who kept it only | |
| three years. In 1975 it found its second owner in Germany with the early Ferrari | |
| enthusiast Markus Kiesgen/Saarbrücken who is known for being one of the three | |
| founders of the Ferrari Club Germany. |
| In 1980 it was bought by another early car enthusiast and third owner Eddie | |
| Rauh/Hof who kept the Dino for twelve years until 1992 when he sold it to the | |
| fourth owner Dr. Helmut Illius/Münchberg. After Dr. Illius passed away it was sold | |
| in 1995 to Mr. Mussenbrock who sold it again in 2002 to the sixth owner Stefan | |
| Gruschke. |
| Stefan Gruschke was something what we would call today a "Dino maniac". When | |
| we met him the first time we were more than amazed about his knowledge and | |
| his passion to collect every single book, magazine or article about Dinos which | |
| he could get hold of. He loved his new purchase and decided to go through a | |
| nut and bold restoration regardless of costs. We are very sure that Stefan would | |
| still be the proud owner of "his Dino" if he would not have had received the | |
| chance to sign a longterm contract working for his company in Asia. To maintain | |
| his toy properly in Singapur would have been a nightmare for him. So he | |
| decided to leave it in Germany and sold it to us. |
| After Stefan Gruschke had purchased the Dino in 2002 the car was completely | |
| dismantled by the " Dino 246 GT Specialst" ASA Andreas Schulz in the South of | |
| Germany. They decided to have the bodywork done in Italy to the highest | |
| possible standard. It was told that the bodywork alone had cost more than | |
| 60.000,- Euros. |
| We have hundreds of detailed pictures while the car was dismantled | |
| and while the bodywork has been carried out in Italy. While the metal work has | |
| been executed in Italy the complete technique of the car had been rebuilt at | |
| ASA in Germany. The engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, wiring harness | |
| and each single item installed in the car have been taken apart, inspected and | |
| rebuilt if necessary. The paint job was carried out in Italy. The complete interior | |
| had been done in black leather and black carpets. The dashboard has been | |
| renewed by using the correct mouse-hair material produced in Italy. | |
| After its restoration Stefan decided to use the engine with nice looking velocity | |
| stacks which will today accompany the car. But due to our concerns of originality | |
| and as well out of safety reasons we have installed the original air filter housing | |
| again. |
| The 246 GT Dino had been inspected by the most famous Dino specialist | |
| Matthias Bartz who is known for his wonderful and extraordinary "Dino | |
| Compendium" about everything which we should know about Dinos and about | |
| everything what is known about Dinos. According to his archive he confirmed | |
| the engine and gearbox numbers to be the correctly stamped matching | |
| number components being installed by Ferrari in 1972. |
| After we had purchased the car from Stefan Gruschke our Dino found a new | |
| home with the 7th owner located in Hamburg who kept the car until early 2025. | |
| We learned that the last owner had used his Dino frequently and he was | |
| participating in most of the Ferrari Club Dino events which were organized by | |
| Matthias Bartz. He intended as well the 50 year anniversary 246 GT/GTS Dino | |
| event which was taken place in Maranello in 2018. |
| In the last 9 years it was serviced by the Dino specialist "Dino Parts" | |
| Stefan Kratzer in Eschwege/Germany. The service records will accompany | |
| the amazing archive file and are totalling at appr. 25.000,- Euros. The last | |
| fresh service record dated on the 30.04.2025 is about 9.200,- Euros. |
| We cannot say more that it will be difficult to find a better European Dino, having | |
| a complete history from the very first day, matching numbers and having had | |
| a painstaking three year restoration. |
| Needless to say that it runs and drives flawlessly. |
| We will be more than happy to supply detaild pictures of its condition and as | |
| well of its restoration. | |
