Are there still people thinking the Dino not to be a proper Ferrari? We had the chance to drive one not too long ago and were much-impressed. This is a lovely machine in every respect, and it's so much more than the first step on the ladder to Ferrari-ownership. The racing pedigree, the great shape, the story of Enzo's much-missed son...

Now, 2018 is the 50th anniversary of the Dino marque - you know it was tried to be marketed as a seperate marque. It first appeared in 1968 with the launch of the Dino 206 GT. Before that there had been only some Dino racers.

To celebrate the anniversary, an event is being organised by the Ferrari Club of Germany, who plan to get as many Dinos to return to Maranello to parade on the Fiorano circuit and visit the factory itself. It will take place on Saturday 30th June.

The organizers mentions that 'participation is only open to owners of Dino 206 GT, 246 GT/GTS or 208/308 GT4. We think they are saying that Fiat Dinos are not welcome. But what if we want to join the festivities in, say, a Dino 196S, Dino 246S, Dino 166P, Dino 206S or Dino 206SP..?
