Retro Wheels Dot Cool

Classic cars, rare old cars, and just damn right cool cars

Two wheels? Four Wheels? Sixteen? This site is for them all. We love classic cars. Immaculate restorations? sure.. but the essence of a machine is worn into it's finish, it's missing or replaced parts.. patina. We like perfect.. but we also like soul. There is something special about classic cars: about their curves, their highly unique (but less-than aerodynamic) body styles, and the comforting rumble and aroma emitted by a 20th Century engine. Do you own a vintage auto? Or perhaps you just love the retro style of yesteryear. Welcome to retrowheels.cool!

Brand: Ferrari
Model: Dino 208 GT4
Date of manufacture: 1976
Plate: EHJ 885P
Colour: yellow
Country of registration: UNITED KINGDOM
Country of manufacture: ITALY

The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 was a 2-door fixed-head coupé with 2+2 seat arrangement, based on the Ferrari 308, but with a smaller 2L (1,991cc) V8 engine. This was all thanks to mid-seventies Italian tax rules that heavily penalised higher capacity engines - and because the model was aimed primarily at the Italian market all 840 cars built were left-hand drive. Production ran from 1975 until 1980 at Ferrari's Maranello factory. And it's a great looking car - the body was designed by Bertone, and this example in Giallo Fly was registered in June 1976. Note the Ferrari branding on this car. Older examples (those completed before May 1976) were simply branded Dino.
