1975 | Ferrari Dino 208 GT4

Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 (1975) – The little Italian sensation with the heart of a V8 and the ego of a city lion tamer

The Dino 208 GT4. A car that sounds like it’d hand you an espresso as it starts up, casually mentioning that it’s actually a Ferrari – just not one that yells about it. No, this one whispers. With style. And a ceramic coating.

When you hear “small V8,” you might think of a sad hot hatch trying to be sporty. But not this one. This 2.0-liter V8 is a masterpiece in understatement. Only 840 built. For Italy only. Looking for exclusivity? Voilà.

✨ Highlights

Top condition. Really.
If it were any better, it would have to live in a climate-controlled museum.

Valuation: €84,000
And that was before the last service – basically a bargain.

Matching numbers (to the best of our knowledge)
No Franken-Ferrari, just pure Italian originality.

Original front spoiler with inset Dino emblem & legendary single-pipe exhaust
Yes, one pipe. Not two. Not four. Back when Ferrari knew how to do understatement.

Ceramic-coated – like a high-end espresso maker in racing red.

January 2025: Fresh premium service
New adjustable cam gears, timing belts, valve clearances, timing precisely adjusted – in short: jump in and drive off like an Italian industrialist headed into the weekend.

History? Tied with a bow.
Originally registered in Milan. Restored, maintained, and pampered in Germany. Fully documented, even with photos – because the previous owner had both gasoline in their blood and a knack for order.

🔧 Tech, Condition & the Little Things

2019: Storage wear fixed
New water pump, timing belts, carburetors synced, brake system overhauled.

Interior
Great condition, just one small spot on the driver’s seat (about the size of a €2 coin) – let’s call it patina with personality. Glovebox lid? Slight flaw, smartly covered with a Dino sticker. That’s how it’s done.

Air conditioning
Removed – because: weight, maintenance, sanity during timing belt service. Still included, in case you want the full 38°C nostalgia.

TÜV until May 2025 | Historic registration available
Translation: cheap to run, classy to show.

🏁 Conclusion – or: Who needs 600 hp?

You're not buying a car. You're buying history, style, and your neighbor’s envy – wrapped in a Ferrari that never wanted to be one, but ended up being one of the most honest of all. The 208 GT4 is a drivable contradiction: fast but not savage. Elegant but not pretentious. A gentleman in a Bertone-tailored suit – with the heart of a tiny race car.
