Enclosed is an article from Ibiza with a fancy Dino who was unfortunately involved in an accident. Owner is a Saudi from London. Driven by a 25 year old Austrian who had no driving license and was on cocaine. After that they wanted to escape with a private jet. Lovely story.... Does anybody know the chassis no.?

The second photo shows the registration number as DBY 970M. A quick Google brings up lots of photo's including this link https://www.autogespot.ca/en/ferrari-dino-246-gts/2016/09/10 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Matthias. UK info shows the car as registered in GB in 2012,colour yellow,and kept in Monaco. Regret chassis number not given,but would assume this car was US spec before returning to Europe.
It's curious that this Dino, while appearing to be U.S.-market spec., has amber rear turn signal lenses and no rear reflectors. However, I've seen pictures of a number of Dinos with similar equipment. One in particular comes to mind. It was Fly Yellow. As this car was apparently yellow in another lifetime, maybe it's the same car? Yet another inscrutable Dino mystery! Fred
It is pretty easy to swap out the original red lenses for yellow to conform to local standards, so that is very likely what was done.
Did anyone else note Daytona headrests? My Dino also came with those, but Matthias said there was never such a factory option, so I swapped them for the correct ones
I don't know what I am more impressed by, that a 25 year old knew how to drive a 5 speed or that some one with no license on coke could even actually get it started and drive. There has to be more to this over all story. Shawn
Shawn here in europe everyone learns to drive a shift car by the age of 17 or 18 when you get your license. Only she had not have a license doesn't mean she wasn't driving at all. In germany you sit behind the wheel at least 25 hours in order to fet a license in the first place.
