In February 1966, to tempt privateer teams away from their Porsches, Ferrari debuted its new sportscar built to compete in the FIA 2.0-litre Group 4 class. Christened the Dino 206 S, the mid-engined racer was powered by a development of the 65-degree V-6 that had been conceived by Enzo’s son Dino Ferrari, prior to his death in June 1956.
Come the end of the 1966 season, the 206 S had proved its mettle: earning a 2nd-place finish in the Targo Florio, 2nd and 3rd at the Nürburgring, and 6th place at Spa-Francorchamps. Although originally slated for production run of 50 examples to satisfy homologation requirements, just 18 would be assembled.
As the final Ferrari Dino 206 S built, chassis number 032 offered here represents the achingly pretty design in its ultimate form. Of the 18, just 13 of which left Maranello with Spyder bodywork penned by Piero Drogo, this is one of only two cars to gain the most powerful Lucas mechanically fuel-injected 2.0-litre Tipo 233 S V-6 engine producing 270 horsepower.
Bought new in July 1967 by Naples resident Corrado Ferlaino—an Italian engineer and property developer who later took ownership of the Napoli football club to help sign Diego Maradona—it was swiftly entered into the ninth round of that season’s FIA World Sportscar Championship, the 1000 Kilometres of Mugello. Compared to the brawnier Ferrari 330 and 412 prototypes that inspired the Dino 206 S, the diminutive proportions of chassis 032 meant it was ideally suited to then contest myriad Italian hill climb events before returning to Ferrari in April 1967 and November 1968 for servicing.
Ferlaino sold the Dino 206 S the following year, the car remaining in Italy for the next decade under the care of three owners. It was purchased in 1979 by French industrialist and esteemed Ferrari GT and competition car collector Pierre Bardinon. In the early 1980s, the Dino 206 S was sold to noted Parisian Ferrari collector Jacques Setton, who had amassed one of the greatest Formula 1 collections and was a particular fan of the Dino engine. Mr Setton subsequently sold the car to British connoisseur Robs Lamplough, former owner of both a 250 GTO and 250 Testa Rossa.
By 2001, the car was purchased by United Kingdom-based collector Carlos Monteverde. During his 12 years of ownership, chassis 032 was campaigned extensively in historic events but was involved in a racing incident in a Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge outing at Brands Hatch. As a result, the car was sent for restoration.
Acquired by the vendor in 2013, chassis 032 returned to Italy to be fully restored by Ferrari Classiche across 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, it was recognised in July 2015 with coveted “Red Book” certification that confirmed the presence of a correct-type 233 S V-6 engine in addition to the matching-numbers chassis, five-speed gearbox, and body. Presented in its #28 Rosso Corsa livery, as worn for its WSC outing at Mugello, chassis 032 is accompanied by an extensive history report compiled by marque authority Marcel Massini.
Among the prettiest of all sportscars, this last-built and ultimate incarnation of the Ferrari Dino 206 S, boasting an exacting Ferrari Classiche restoration, would make for an exquisite addition to any Maranello or motorsport-themed collection anywhere in the world.
