1975 | Ferrari Dino 208 GT4

errari Dino 208 GT4 (1975) – The Little Italian Sensation with the Heart of a V8 and the Ego of a City Tamer

The Dino 208 GT4. A car that sounds as if it’s handing you an espresso when you start it – and casually reminds you that, technically, it’s a Ferrari. Just not one that shouts. No, this one whispers. With style. And with ceramic coating.

When you hear “small V8”, you might think of a half-hearted attempt at a sporty hatchback. But no – this one is different. The 2.0-litre V8 is a masterpiece of understatement. Only 840 were built, and only for Italy. Looking for exclusivity? Voilà.

✨ Highlights

• Top condition. Truly. Any better and it would have to live in a climate-controlled museum.
• Valuation: €84,000 – and that was before the last service.
• Matching numbers (to the best of knowledge). No bitsa project – a true Italian original.
• Original front apron with integrated Dino badge & legendary single exhaust pipe. Yes, one pipe. Because Ferrari once knew how understatement works.
• Ceramic-coated – like a high-end espresso maker, only faster.
• Major service in January 2025: new adjustable camshaft gears, new timing belt, valve adjustment, cam timing recalibrated – this Dino now runs smoother than an Italian tenor.

🔧 Technical & Condition Notes

• 2019: storage damage repaired (new water pump, timing belt, carb sync, brakes overhauled)
• Interior: very nice, minor wear spot on driver’s seat (coin-sized) – call it patina with character. Glovebox cover slightly imperfect, tastefully hidden with a Dino sticker.
• Air conditioning: removed for easier maintenance & less weight, but included if you want to reinstall.
• TÜV until May 2025 | Historic registration – low taxes, high class.

🏁 Conclusion – Who needs 600 horsepower?

You’re not buying a car. You’re buying history, style, and the envy of your neighbours – wrapped in a Ferrari that never tried too hard, but became one of the most honest of them all.
The 208 GT4 is a rolling paradox: quick but not brutal, elegant but unpretentious. A gentleman in a Bertone suit – now with a fresh heartbeat thanks to its new cam setup. Ready for new adventures on twisty roads.
