Few Ferraris better embody the romance of the Dino 246 than chassis 06354, a late-production "E-series" GTS model completed on 4 May 1973 and delivered new to M.G. Crepaldi Automobili S.a.s. in Milan. Finished in the seldom-seen hue of Bianco Polo (20-W-152) over Nero artificial leather, this European-delivery, left-hand-drive example is among the 1,282 Dino GTSs built and one of only 401 supplied in left-hand drive to Europe. Acquired new by Adelio Negri of Lecco with plate "CO 377607," chassis 06354 began its life on the southeastern shore of Lake Como-a glamorous setting entirely befitting Maranello's targa-topped junior model. It has remained in Italy ever since and is presented today in the same elegant factory color scheme in which it left Crepaldi.

The Dino's Estratto Cronologico on file records sale from Negri to Romano Pasini on 21 November 1978, at which point it received Reggio Emilia plate "RE 325555," followed by a transfer to Giacomo Campione on 12 February 1979. On 4 April 1981, the Dino passed to Angela Campanini via Plinio Giovanardi. According to the seller, Plinio Giovanardi, the well-known Reggio Emilia mechanic and Fiat dealer behind Autosalone Ivo Giovanardi, was the car's effective long-term custodian, and the Dino remained in his family's care until his passing in 2022. Research compiled by Dino authority Matthias Bartz supports this long-term ownership in a history report on file, underscoring an exceptional uninterrupted life in its home market.

Acquired in 2022 from the son of Plinio Giovanardi in highly original, time-capsule condition-then showing approximately 68,000 km-chassis 06354 was inspected before disassembly by marque expert Emiliano Torkar, who verified its chassis, body, engine, and transmission numbers corresponded with factory records. Only then did the current owner embark on a preservation-minded restoration. The mechanical components were cleaned via cryo-washing so as to retain the factory finishes and stickers, while the wheels were acid-cleaned to preserve their Cromodora badges before being refinished in the correct color. The brake system was comprehensively overhauled with rebuilt calipers and new discs, a new clutch was installed, and the hydraulic and wiring systems were refurbished. Further work included attention to the cooling system, suspension, steering box, carburetors, starter, alternator, and dampers, together with replacement of age-related items such as belts, hoses, fuel pumps, filters, four new Michelin XWX tires, and more.

Although already white when acquired, the body was stripped and renewed in its rare Bianco Polo finish, while the Nero interior remains completely original save for new leather trimming the steering wheel. Since completion, the Dino has covered approximately 3,000 kilometers, participated in two editions of the Milano-Sanremo, and appeared at Cavallino Classic Modena in 2025, where it received the coveted Ferrari Dino Award. Now showing original 71,462 kilometers and road-registered in Italy, it is accompanied by its owner's manual, E-series spare parts catalog, spare wheel, factory jack with leather pouch, original hardtop with its cover, and an impressive dossier of documentation.
