Fiat Dino 2400 Coupe– Model year 1971
The Fiat Dino is one of the most fascinating Italian sports cars of its era. Born from the collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari, the Dino combines the everyday usability of a Fiat with a Ferrari-developed V6 engine and technical features that were exceptional for the time. The Bertone-designed coupé embodies the Italian style of the late 1960s and early 1970s in a particularly distinctive way.
With the second series, the Dino was further developed into the Dino 2400 in 1969. The displacement of the 65° V6 increased to 2,418 cm³, and power rose to 180 hp at 6,600 rpm. At the same time, the car received revised technology with a five-speed gearbox, limited-slip differential and further-developed chassis design. The coupé reached a top speed of around 205 km/h.
The vehicle offered here was first registered on 13 April 1972 and is therefore one of the later examples of the Dino 2400. It is registered as type 135 BC; the chassis number begins with 135BC, clearly identifying the vehicle as belonging to the 2.4-litre series. The original German registration document records the vehicle's initial registration and technical data.
Of particular interest is the period documentation of the vehicle's equipment. The vehicle documents list, among other things, the Cromodora light-alloy wheels in 6.5 J x 14 inches and the 205/70 R14 82H tyres. The colour is recorded as Blu Medio with colour code 435. The documents also explicitly identify the vehicle as a classic car.
Technically, the Dino 2400 is equipped with the characteristic 2.4-litre V6 with a 65° cylinder angle, two overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and three Weber twin carburettors. The engine produces 180 hp and develops maximum torque of around 216 Nm. Power is transmitted via a ZF five-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Four disc brakes and the sporty limited-slip differential underline the Dino's standing as a high-performance Gran Turismo.
Today, the Fiat Dino 2400 is of particular interest, especially because of its connection to Ferrari. The same basic engine – in a suitably adapted version – was also used in the Ferrari Dino 246 GT/GTS. In addition, the 2.4-litre V6 was later used in the Lancia Stratos.
Between 1967 and 1972, only around 7,577 examples of the Fiat Dino coupé were produced with both engine variants. The 2400 represents the second and technically further-developed generation.
Vehicle data:
This Fiat Dino 2400 Coupe was delivered in Germany. It is now in its third ownership. The last owner purchased the vehicle in December 2016 from Ebert Sportcars in Solms, a company specialising in classic vehicles. It was in very good, unrestored condition. The body was largely rust-free, accident-free and unworn. It required cosmetic restoration. The car had a verifiable mileage of 49,496 km. The interior was completely preserved. The new owner then had the entire paintwork renewed to a very high standard. In the process, the underbody was ice-blasted and recoated. Cavity preservation was also carried out. The entire mechanics were overhauled. This included overhauling the entire drivetrain as well as the front and rear axles. The engine was completely dismantled and all wear parts, such as connecting-rod and crankshaft bearings and pistons, were replaced. It was fitted with a high-quality, discreetly installed electronic fuel-injection system; the original Weber carburettors have been retained and are included. A new stainless-steel exhaust system, reproduced in accordance with the original, was installed. It is particularly worth emphasising that the vehicle has its complete original interior; the velour upholstery is excellently preserved, and the carpets are also in very beautiful condition. The carpet on the driver's floor mat was renewed. A Fiat Dino in this condition is very difficult to find and is rare today. It radiates an authenticity that a fully restored car cannot possess.
More than 79,000. -- was invested in the restoration, and the work was carried out by recognised specialists. The vehicle presents accordingly and also drives excellently; thanks to the modern fuel injection, the engine runs superbly, worlds better than the original. It can therefore be driven without any problems in today's traffic and with modern fuels.
If you are looking for a Dino in untouched condition, then this is your vehicle; it has charm and the right patina. The price is in line with the market and reflects the quality of the vehicle.
