A revised version of the first Dino model the 206, the 1969 246GT had improved performance, now offering 150mph and much quicker
acceleration.
The 246GT also differed from the earlier car in that it now had an all steel body, which like many Italian cars of this era is highly susceptible to the dread tin worm (rust!). Made from 1969 until 1974, nearly 2500 examples were made.
