It is the 146th Dino 246 GT to have been built out of the total 355 units of its type.

When the original Dino 206 series was originated in combination by Ferrari, Fiat and Pininfarina partly as an effective 'homologation special' to provide a production-based 4-cam V6 engine suitable for adaptation for single-seater Formula 2 racing use, power output was 180bhp at 8,000rpm and peak torque to 19m/kg – 137lbs/ft – at 6,500rpm.
The V6 engine's displacement had grown to 2,418cc with bore and stroke dimensions of 92.5mm x 60mm. The power unit was made by Fiat and the iron-block engine provided 195bhp at 7,600rpm and 23m/kg torque at 5,000rpm.

The Dino 246 GT was fast, nimble, looked utterly gorgeous, and its Pininfarina styling combined aggressiveness and impeccably balanced proportion in a uniquely mouth-watering manner. It was also very keenly priced for the period at $13,400 compared to $20,000 for the contemporary 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta.

This particular car chassis number '00696' was completed by the factory on March 6, 1970 and its Certificato d'Origine was then issued on March 27 that year. It was delivered new to official dealer M. Gastone Crepaldi Sas of the Via San marco in Milan that same month, and sold immediately to local resident Signora Amelia Lia Crippa.
On June 27, 1973, this Dino 246 GT was sold to the second owner, Mario Grandi, of Bologna for the declared price of Lire 4,400,000. On August 31 that year the car was re-registered in Bologna as 'BO 555583'. When its oil was changed on November 21, 1974, its odometer reading was noted as being 11,415kms.
Fabrizio Violati acquired the car sometime in the later 1970s and it became an integral exhibit within his Collezione Maranello Rosso museum in the Republic of San Marino.
