The Fiat Dino 2.0 Coupé was created in 1967 as a result of a collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari. Ferrari needed a large number of production engines to homologate its new V6 engine for Formula 2 but lacked the capacity to build them itself. Fiat took on the production and received permission to use the same V6 engine in its own sports car.
For the Coupé, Fiat enlisted the design house Bertone, where the young Giorgetto Giugiaro designed an elegant four-seat GT. Under the hood was a 2.0-liter V6 with dual overhead camshafts and three Weber carburetors, producing 160 pk. This gave the Dino outstanding performance and a driving experience that set it apart from other Fiat models. Its distinctive sound and high revs immediately revealed its Ferrari heritage.
Although the later 2.4-liter Dino was more advanced, the original 2.0 Coupé holds a special status. It was this model that showcased the collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari and played a key role in the development of Ferrari’s Dino engine. Today, the Fiat Dino 2.0 Coupé is regarded as one of the most exceptional Italian classics from the 1960s: a stylish Gran Turismo with a true Ferrari heartbeat.
This Dino 2.0 Coupé was built in 1967, originally imported from Italy, and brought to the Netherlands in 2019. It was owned by only two Italians before, the first from new until 2007, and the second from 2007 to 2019. Italian registration documents are available to verify its history. In the Netherlands, it has had only one owner who has maintained the car meticulously.
The body and interior are in excellent condition, with no damage or dents. The car's sunny Italian climate and careful previous owners contributed to its preservation. The mechanical components could benefit from a refresh; the engine runs fine but has become somewhat worn over time. A specialist carefully overhauled the entire engine, ensuring it delivers the original 160 pk with eager revs. The process was documented in a beautifully designed companion book, emphasizing the attention to detail.
The paint is a bit older but looks very neat, with no signs of damage. The interior is original and well-used but intact, with nothing broken or in need of replacement—except for the trunk mat, which is somewhat worn. The undercarriage and floor are in excellent condition, showing no signs of rust or welding, maintaining their honest and original appearance.
Cars like this are increasingly rare in pristine, original condition. Enthusiasts seek honest, pristine vehicles with smooth rides and fresh engines. This Dino is ready for its next owner.
