Fiat Dino Spider 2.0 “Bianco Polo Park” – First Series – Unrestored & Road-Ready
Italian flair, Ferrari DNA, and rare originality in one package. This Fiat Dino Spider 2.0, finished in elegant Bianco Polo Park, is among the most sought-after versions of the model. As a first-series example with central-lock Campagnolo wheels, an original interior, and the legendary Ferrari V6 engine, it embodies the true spirit of the late-1960s Italian sports car – stylish, technically refined, and mechanically alive.
A homologation project commissioned by Ferrari
The Fiat Dino Spider was born as a racing homologation project launched by Ferrari in cooperation with Fiat to enable the Dino V6 engine to be used in Formula 2. The 2.0-litre aluminium V6 engine with twin overhead camshafts was developed by Vittorio Jano, Franco Rocchi, and Aurelio Lampredi. Their combined expertise produced a high-revving, sophisticated power unit with a character unmistakably Ferrari. This engine later powered the Ferrari Dino 206 GT, giving the Fiat Dino Spider a unique status as the only Fiat with a Ferrari heart, built for official racing purposes.
Pininfarina elegance over Bertone bravado
While the Dino Coupé was designed by Bertone, Fiat entrusted the open Spider to Pininfarina, and the difference is evident in every line. The Spider features flowing proportions, graceful curves, and timeless lightness rarely found in the Coupé. Pininfarina created a shape that is both graceful and athletic, perfectly balanced between finesse and energy. In this rare white finish, the Bianco Polo Park paint emphasizes the contours and allows the design to speak in its purest form.
Rarity and colour heritage
Produced between 1966 and 1972 with around 2,400 units, the Fiat Dino Spider saw only approximately 1,163 first-series 2.0-litre cars built with the original Ferrari engine. Most were delivered in red, blue, or silver; only about 70 to 90 examples left the factory in Bianco Polo Park. This subtle, rare shade is now extremely hard to find, especially in unrestored original condition. Worldwide, only a handful of examples still retain their factory paint and interior. A white Fiat Dino Spider 2.0 like this represents not only technical authenticity but also aesthetic exclusivity – a true collector’s item.
Campagnolo & central-lock – racing engineering for the road
The central wheel lock and magnesium Campagnolo rims highlight the direct link to motorsport. Such details are rarely seen on unrestored cars and, combined with the mechanical sound of the Ferrari V6, form a tribute to the pure, unfiltered Italian sportiness of the era.
Freedom for the next owner
The future caretaker of this remarkable Spider has a unique choice: keep it exactly as it is, as a truthful, road-ready time capsule; undertake a light sympathetic restoration while preserving its authentic charm; or treat it as an exceptionally original basis for a concours-level restoration, with all fundamental authenticity intact. Whichever path is chosen, the car’s historical purity and mechanical correctness ensure lasting value and emotional reward.
