Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

I realize we're all Fiat Dino folks here but, this morning i noticed a Dino 246 for sale on Bring a Trailer. The verbiage seems to emphasize that it is an "L Series" 246; something I'm not familiar with. Does anyone here know the significance of "L Series?"

I'm asking here because I know that if I made an inquiry on the Ferrari forums I'd get a bunch of blather about it's rarity or exclusivity or some other such hype. I just want to know how it is different from other 246s and 206s.

Anyone? TIA

and BTW since I've never shared any photos of my Spider here she is in her Calendar Girl shot.

Hi Gerry

I made a quick search on uncle google, and found the following info:
"The 355/ 357 earliest Dino 246 GTs, internally designated as the L-Series, were considered by enthusiasts to be the “bridge” between the 206 and 246 Dinos. As such, the "L" series 246 retain many desirable features normally associated with the 206 Dinos, while benefitting from the 2.4-liter engine. Additionally, they’re fitted with 206-style seats, dashboard, a deeper passenger footwell with a folding footrest, a Daytona-style steering wheel, and knock-off wheels. Most significantly, L-Series Dino GTs feature handmade lightweight alloy doors and decklids, which sets them apart from the later, heavier, all-steel-bodied M- and E-series Dinos."

For all fans of „The Persuaders“ , Tony Curtis and Roger Moore the „L series“ as described by fanalone is a dream car

Thank you Fanalone. Your valuable detective work is exactly what I shoulda have thought to do myself.

And now I need help in another area. I seem to be unable to respond to your private message and I can't fathom how to reach the administration folks,

What am I missing?

Hi

Old tread this, but in my Fiat Dino searching, I stumbled over this document:

Nice Car,
What is the colour?
