Description

From their first appearance in 1961 it was clear that the Dino SPs, the first ever rear engined sports prototypes from Maranello, were destined to break new ground for Ferrari in what was to become one of the most demanding and exciting periods in that marque’s long and noble history.

This little known and often underrated group of cars carried Ferrari through an uncertain transitional period and convincingly provided a sound and proven nucleus for a full blooded V12 sports car in 1963. They also provided the basis for further progressive development and the introduction of new technology, culminating in the fabulous 330P4 in 1967.

The 246SP was Ferrari’s first attempt at building a rear-engined sports car, yet once off the drawing board it required very few and only minor modifications during the next two years. In that short time, the 246SPs turned in a truly remarkable performance which clearly demonstrated their race winning potential.

Hardback in generally very good condition for age with good dust jacket.
