Join Iain Tyrrell in this episode of Tyrrell's Classic Workshop for an up-close look at the extraordinary transformation of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT. A few months ago, this iconic car was merely a beautifully painted bare shell. Today, it stands on the brink of completion, a testament to the teams' classic car restoration artistry.
With in-depth knowledge of this vehicle, and having worked on over several decades, Iain guides us through some uniquely charming aspects of the Dino 246 GT.
Iain highlights the meticulously restored bumpers, number plate and even the windscreen wipers… elements often overlooked but crucial in bringing the car's character to life. This episode features a special focus on the beautifully crafted curved rear window, a hallmark of the Dino's design elegance.
The interior of the car receives its share of attention, with Iain exploring the original features that maintain its authenticity. A notable highlight is the original Blaupunkt radio, capable of Short, Medium, and Long-wave reception, reflecting the era's technology and style. No FM or DAB to be found here.
This episode is not just about car restoration; it's a journey into the heart of automotive history, celebrating the blend of engineering and artistry that goes into reviving a classic like the Ferrari Dino 246 GT.
