Fiat Dino 2400 

It looks modern still, despite its age. Bertone styled the fastback Coupé, a steel monocoque like the Pininfarina-designed Spider, which was unveiled at the Geneva show in March 1967. It has lean lines that are good from every angle. There’s a hint of aggression from the forward-leaning four-headlamp snout and a well-proportioned elegance created by the flowing curves over the wheels and the neatly resolved tail. The steering is unpowered and when you’re going slowly it’s laughably heavy. The wheel is a very Italian feature, a nice wood rim and perforated alloy spokes – it looks handsome and feels great. Behind it there’s a veneered plywood dash well stocked with legible black-on-white Veglia dials. The 9000rpm tacho and 250km/h (155mph) speedo, with their quaint fishtail needles, flank gauges for the oil and water temperature, oil pressure and fuel contents together with an analogue clock. A twist of the key and the V6 engine fires up with a lovely, bassy rumble through the big twin tailpipes. That dog-leg gearbox and the ‘Dino 2400’ badge on the back mark this out as a later version of a car that had been created as a way to homologate Ferrari’s V6 engine for Formula 2 racing, which required a production engine block with at least 500 units built. That was too many for Ferrari to handle, so it struck a cunning deal with Fiat to put the engine into a road car.In 1969 the 2.0-litre V6 was replaced by a new 2.4-litre iron-block engine with an extra 20bhp and enough extra torque that the gearbox had to be upgraded to the stronger ZF unit with its dog-leg first gear. The gear lever gate is quite narrow between second and third, so you can easily get fifth by mistake when changing up, Contemporary tests gave a 0-60mph time of just under nine seconds for the Coupé, about half a second shy of the lighter Spider. It’s respectable performance for its era, about the same as a BMW 2500CS E9. All the Fiat Dinos have double wishbone front suspension, but where the earlier Dinos have live axle and leaf springs at the back, the 2400s have a strut-type independent rear end, The car is very surefooted, althought it’s also quite firm on the road. In the wet, it doesn’t hesitate or jump or wiggle at all.

Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé, 1969, by Bertone. Fiat's Dino used the same 2,417cc 65º V6 as the mid-engine Dino 246. It was the result of a deal Ferrari made with Fiat in order to homologate the Dino V6 for racing. The V6 needed to be made in a minimum of 500 units for road use in order to race, the Fiat deal ensured sufficient demand to meet the homologation rules

Total white: 1971 Fiat Dino 2400 Spider

Only 420 were produced, but the 2400cc, unlike its smaller sister (2000cc) is actually a Ferrari with a different body and interior. And the worst thing is that I have always known that these cars would one day have a great value not because I have a particular intuition but because years ago I was asking myself a trivial question: “This car is beautiful, it is spider and equipped with of a V6…

Fiat Dino Spider 2400, 1969, by Pininfarina. The final version of the Dino Spider had a 2,419cc version of the Ferrari-built 65º Dino V6 that was also used in the Dino 246 and Lancia Stratos. Only 420 2.4 litre spiders were made, most of them on the same Ferrari Maranello production line as the Dino 246 GT and GTS. When it was discontinued in 1973 it was not replaced
