This 1976 Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is presented in a classic color combination of black exterior paint and dark red leather upholstery. The vehicle was imported from Italy to Germany in 2014 and has since been located in Hamburg. A classic car valuation report dated May 2026 awarded the car a condition rating of Grade 2. The rare 208 GT4 was produced exclusively for the Italian market and is today considered one of the less commonly encountered variants of the GT4 series.
When Ferrari introduced the Dino 308 GT4 in 1973, the marque ventured into new territory in several respects. It was the first production Ferrari to feature a V8 engine, and it was also the first Ferrari not designed by Pininfarina, but by Bertone. The bodywork, penned by Marcello Gandini, combined the sharp styling language of the early 1970s with a surprisingly practical 2+2 seating layout, creating one of the most distinctive Ferraris of its era.
Shortly thereafter, Ferrari developed the Dino 208 GT4 specifically for the Italian domestic market. The reason was Italy’s tax regulations at the time, which imposed significantly higher taxes on vehicles with engines exceeding two liters in displacement. As a result, the familiar V8 engine was reduced to 1,991 cc, or approximately 2.0 liters. Despite the smaller displacement, the character of the high-revving V8 remained intact. With its power delivery at higher engine speeds and precise five-speed manual transmission, the 208 GT4 continues to embody the analog driving experience of the 1970s.
According to various sources, only around 840 examples of the Dino 208 GT4 were produced between 1975 and 1980. This makes it one of the rarer production Ferraris and gives it a special status within the GT4 family.
According to the seller, the vehicle was repainted in Italy prior to its import to Germany. The black paintwork is described in the available valuation report as being in very good condition. According to the report, the bodywork exhibits consistent paint quality, proper paint thickness measurements, and no visible signs of corrosion. The distinctive Bertone styling, characteristic pop-up headlights, and alloy wheels further emphasize the period-correct appearance of the car.
The interior combines black exterior paint with dark red leather upholstery, a color combination that gives the car a distinctive and elegant appearance. According to the valuation report, the interior is in good to very good condition. Only minor signs of use and age-related patina are visible on the driver's seat, further enhancing the vehicle’s authentic character.
The Dino is powered by a 1,959 cc F106-series V8 engine producing 180 horsepower at 7,700 rpm. Power is delivered through a five-speed manual transmission. The recorded odometer reading is 82,138 kilometers.
According to the available valuation report, the engine, transmission, suspension, and braking system are all in excellent condition. The engine is described as running strongly and without any notable issues. The underbody and chassis are likewise reported to be in good condition.
According to the seller, the vehicle was imported from Italy to Germany in 2014 and has remained in Hamburg ever since. The vehicle’s history is documented from 2015 onward. No records are available for the period prior to its import.
The car carries chassis number 12144. Matching numbers and matching colors have not been independently verified.
The vehicle comes with a classic car valuation report, reference number GA26155, issued in May 2026, which awarded the Dino a condition rating of Grade 2. In addition, the car benefits from a valid German roadworthiness inspection (TÜV) until May 2028.
The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is one of the most interesting and, at the same time, most underrated Ferrari models of the 1970s. Its combination of Bertone styling, a high-revving V8 engine, and relatively low production numbers makes it a distinctive representative of the marque. This particular example impresses with its well-preserved overall condition, attractive color combination, and current valuation report. For collectors and enthusiasts, it offers the opportunity to acquire a rare Italian sports car with a traceable recent German history.
The Dino 208 GT4 is one of those Ferraris that becomes increasingly fascinating with time. Perhaps because it never achieved the status of its more famous stablemates. Perhaps because Bertone’s angular design looks fresher today than ever before. Anyone looking for a classic Ferrari not only to admire but also to drive will find the 208 GT4 a captivating companion—lightweight, mechanically honest, and full of character.
