This one is for you, Anders!

A while ago we asked you about your favourite of 1967, promising a little write-up about that soon. Slightly later than planned, this is its time now. And reader Anders Svenfelt (who was smart enough to answer our question) gets what we promised him. Anders wrote: “The Ferrari Dino 206 S Speciale Pininfarina, as I don't like the production models added vents on the front bonnet.” Fair enough. Now. The coincidence is that this particular car will be offered for sale next week! Yes. During the Rétromobile show in Paris, on Friday 10 February, the Dino 206 Berlinette Speciale by Pininfarina is coming under the block. Artcurial is lyrical: “We are proud to present this jewel of Italian automobile design, this unique object designed by the wind, which heralded the styling at Ferrari in subsequent decades.”

Remarkably, it’s the first time it is for sale. The car was offered in April 1967 by Sergio Pininfarina to the Musée de l’Automobile at Le Mans, where it has been exhibited ever since. The sale of it will help to promote and expand the collection belonging to the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, or so they say. This may be your only chance Anders! Not buying, just looking? Then you may like to know that  Retromobile has also managed to get together a display of rare other Ferrari's from the Le Mans museum as well as the Schlumpf collection. More here.
