Exported to the USA in the mid-1970s and in 1980 was sold to Laird L. Cleaver in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1998 it passed to Gary Hornbarrier of North Carolina, who kept the car for three years before selling it in 2001. Owned until January 2004 when it was sold Paul Wignall in the UK. Next owner Andrew Fletcher acquired it in November 2004. The current vendor acquired it on 7th December 2005. History file of bills and other paperwork. Lot 291. Sold for $1.64 million.

In 1971 it was sold to Montreal, Canada, and in 1986 was sold to David C. Nelson of Akron, Ohio. Two years later, in 1988, the car was sold to the UK and restored circa 1990/1991.

246 GTS, S/N 07362 (1973). RHD. White with black interior. Estimate $390,000 to $450,000. Purchased in December 2000 from the estate of BRDC member the late Mike Cornwell (its owner since 1975). Cornwell had the Dino converted to flares soon after he bought the car in the 1970s, so in the interests of keeping true to its history it was decided to retain those during restoration as they had been on the car for the best part of its life. The owner’s restoration took three years and 5,000 man-hours to complete and was carried out between 2017 and 2020. The leather interior trim was supplied by Lupi. The engine is fully rebuilt and balanced with Cosworth high-compression pistons and has only been run and tuned on the testbed.
