Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Hi there, I’m clearly going blind ( if that’s possible, if you’re going blind, things aren’t clear!) Studying the image of the car in question, I mistook the reflection for glass, whereas it’s metal. So my apologies all round. Before posting anything again, I’ll look a bit closer before I apply digi...

I’ll admit that my knowledge of the coupes is less than that of the spiders, and certainly less than some of those reading this, BUT, I very much doubt that sunroof is factory original, from what I can see in the images. When I saw your original post, I was expecting to see either a steel sliding pa...

Hi all, If anyone is interested I’ve consigned my 2400 spider (BS0001470) to auction with Brightwells, Leominster U.K. for their October sale. Full details and 35 photos can be seen on their website ( www.Brightwells.com) Guide price is £100/120k. If after visiting the site you’d like more details t...

Hi, I’d still like to sell my 2400 spider (BS1470) 1971. Owned for 13 years, just had a fully documented nut & bolt engine rebuild (£15,000). Running well, Pininfarina 152 Red ( as shown on chassis plate). There is some sinkage and marks in the paint, but no corrosion that I can see. I’ve known ...

Hi, I have for sale my 2400 spider chassis # BS1470 (1971). Pininfarina Red code 152, as shown on chassis plate. I’ve owned the car for 13 years, but would like to reduce my car collection. I have known the car since 1990 when it was in South Africa . I have a big history file on the car with a fold...

Hi all, I’ve decided to sell one of my 2400 spiders. Chassis BS1470, 1971. Original colour 152 Red, as shown on chassis plate. Just had full engine rebuild, few miles, still running in. Interior cream leather with matching top cover. Condition is good, but certainly not show standard. There is some ...

I’ve always said that it’s good to learn at least one new thing each day of your life! The ones on the Dino spiders in your attached images do look to be the same as was on BS 1239 ( ex Pininfarina/ ex Cahier). Thank you for sharing. Now if I could work out how to upload images I’d share the 1953 wo...

Hi again, You’re in luck, I have cast iron provenance! Re 1239, I spoke to Bernard Cahier several times,and he sent me, by post , lots of rare ( probably unique) drawings, plans, books, photos that were given him by Pininfarina. I returned them all,as was requested. He told me that Pininfarina had g...

Hi again, Having had a couple of hours to rethink my 1st post ( as opposed to the Last Post!), I now remember that Matt Higdon’s car ( ex Agnelli) was purchased from a Fiat ( tractor division) executive, not a cigarette company exec. I’m mixing my stories up, as I recall an ultra low mileage 2000 co...

Hi, Both Pininfarina and Agnelli owned 2400 spiders. Pininfarina owned BS1239. He gifted it to Bernard Cahier, and it’s shown in Mike Morris’s book with USA number plate DINO 1 ( it never left Europe!) Cahier sold it to Graham Bryant, and Graham sold it to me in 2003 via Talacrest (Ferrari specialis...
