It survived there for nearly 20 years before being restored to racing as the only original GP Ferrari. Engine: 2953 cc V12-cylinder - 310 bhp - 180 mph.

The (Y16-3) 1960 Ferrari Dino 246/V12 joined the range in 1986, It was one of four vintage racing cars released to commemorate Lesneys intended sponsorship of a series of vintage motor racing events which never came about due to the high cost of sponsoring the events. The other three racing cars being the Y14-4 ERA, the Y11-4 Bugatti and the Y10-4 Maserati.

Livery: (Tampo)
Racing number '17' in black on white disc on tail panels and bonnet.
Ferrari badge in gold and black on both sides of cockpit.

Variations/Rarities: Generally the colour of the chassis is brighter than the colour of the body. The body colour can vary from a dark red to an orangy red.
The wheels were either chrome plated or aluminium coloured 24 spoke wire wheels.
The wheels were of an early push fit design which did look better than the earlier riveted type but the axles were really too long giving the wheels too much sideways movement. The brake drums were thickened to reduce the excess axle movement but the push fit type wheels would not become standard issue for another 4 years.

Pre-production models have been recorded in blue or green, and some red models were decorated with the number '47' instead of number '17'.
