In striking livery and desirable configuration, 03098 is considered the ideal "driver's" Dino. This recent mechanically sorted GT Coupé offers immediate touring opportunities, displayed in correct Blu Dino Metallizzato color over consistent body lines, showing a glossy finish with light flaws (pictured), while overall very presentable as touring ready. This is complimented by older, supple, and usable vinyl cabin upholstery, original carpeting with custom tailored brown palomino Coco Mats protecting the carpeting, original dashboard, and recently restored Becker Europa II radio. An emergency window crank resides in the glovebox.

The front compartment contains a matching spare tire assembly, washer bag and correct appointments, while the rear luggage boot is tidy and unrestored with a matching supplemental palomino mat. The GT's engine bay appears preserved and serviced as needed, but never fully restored. Engine number 001376 starts without hesitation and performs well, much thanks to recent Major Services performed.
