What can you say? A Ferrari for Wheeler Dealer money? 

 The 308 GT4 Dino was a radical departure for Ferrari, employing the design house Bertone as opposed to Pininfarina to produce a striking modern cutting edge shape to replace the 246 Dino. 

 Bertone were responsible for classic designs such as the Lamborghini Miura, the Alfa Romeo GT Junior and rally legend Lancia Stratos. The car is a two plus two so it is practical if you’ve got small kids or need to take some (small) mates out for a pose. 

 In classic red, the Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino is a real show stopper and was bought from a classic car hire company who were updating their stock. 

 The interior is excellent and the car drives very well. There’s a little exhaust blow, but nothing that bad. The biggest problems with this car are cosmetic. Everywhere you look on the body there is a parking dent, a bubble of surface rust or a scratch. 

 The Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino was bought for cheap money, and if everything goes right Edd can help Mike turn a big profit. But the jeopardy is always there because parts for the Ferrari are excruciatingly expensive. Mike thinks Edd can ‘blow in’ the few dents and bumps on the car but when Edd discovers that rust in the front wing is serious and a replacement part costs £800 both of them begin to worry … big time. 

 Then Edd decides that only a full body respray will do and Mike begins to wish he’d walked away before he’d flashed the cash to the dealer.
