Kevin is absolutely brilliant and a gentleman. He is the last of his kind that put English engineering and quality on the map, with a hint of class at the same time.
@@thomaselliott573What's wrong with you man!? Only destructive comments!!! If you don't like it, don't waste time and energy on this!!! What a negative way to spend energy and time...
These cars are just incredible. Vintage styling, modern performance in a light weight car, artisan built, tactile materials, just perfection, and most importantly they seem to be built to be driven, rather than simply sit in some billionaires garage as an investment. Just wonderful to see cars like this still being made.
The most interesting thing Kevin told us was that not ONE of the owners of Dino Evos have ever sold theirs - this is a proper driver's car, and a keeper ;)

He is teaching young people the arts involved with creating these beautiful cars. Wheeling new panels in steel and aluminum, gas welding seams etc. 20 years ago I was was getting involved with this sort of thing, I built an English wheel, I was restoring 1950s and 60s Alfas, then did rotisserie restorations on three Jaguar XK-Es. Those days are gone, I haven't run a bead since 1998, but I would love to get a mid-60s Alfa GTV to restore.
I met Kevin once, I was with my wife and we picked up some framed Pictures from him, He is an utterly lovely man and took the time to show us around and chat.
I'm not even two minutes in and I can see that you're a very charismatic person your channel deserves serious exposure and I hope you get it. The production is great you're obviously very passionate and knowledgeable individual, and I hope you achieve tremendous success in this platform my friend.
Thoroughly nice fella doing some very special things with those cars its great to see and i hope some young guys are being taught this stuff because its the sort of greatness that needs to be past on. Well done you fellas.
As a north American I could never understand how Ferrari could design such beautiful cars like the Dino and early 308s with such low BHP and torque!? My last 308gts could barely keep up to a Honda Accord even though it was gorgeous!
Kevin mentions 1.5 - 2 years goes into each. 1 man, 12 months = 2000hrs. In those hours are jobs never seen, a part of him goes into each car. I watched my Father restore many, from a field with a tree growing out of it to winning awards. Appreciation for dedication to engineering skill.
Yes, but unfortunately ends up being a ridiculous price in the end. At 100 pounds per man hour (very conservative) ......... you are looking at 200,000 in labour alone ...... crazy really
I wonder when you compared the Dino 246 with this model you considered the age of the total package and engine condition. Original Dinos are as Kev said like me in quite poor condition and rot boxes compared with the cars Kevin has worked his magic on. I remember testing and setting up Dinos in the late '70s and they were rocket ships back then. The work Kevin is doing cannot be underestimated to restore and improve on one of the greatest V6s road cars of the era.
the first time i´m going to watch a Dino restomod, if i could drive it i could tell you the diference as i have one since 1973 in white in reality i wanted a yellow like Miles Davis had, after a few years no one wanted them i even had to decline a red one that was being ofered to me by what today is 1.000€ but as i said no , more times the guy would tell me" 600€? "this with at the time money or "120 contos?"
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this video and it's my first time viewing the channel and I have always liked Dino's and this resto mod version is excellent in my opinion. I have also subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your car.
I hate green but that latest 308 I've seen on videos this year is to die for. these gents are the opposite of my other favorite Ferrari loon's(loon is the outstanding huge balls kind of way)I'm a bob Norwood fan but he's on a different trip where as these cars are built for men who actually use cars as their intended purpose. people should only be able to brag about how many miles they were able to put on it. outstanding facility and hell of a bunch of top notch mates!. cheers
This is awesome. My 1st 1/25 scale model at 12 years. Im 57 now still have model but no real one YET! My 69 corvette looks just like a Dino. They were designed at same time across continents. Love Mr. Lee’s evo Dino. So cool. Thanks for great vid. I sub’ed like I should. Cheers
For a wealthy gentlemen, this would be a nice car to have. The Dino is rather unique. For an ordinary individual, it's uneconomical to say the least. A new Mustang GT or something a bit newish is much more doable.
Ahm mate, you missed the fact that the dino 2.0 and 2.4L V6 was also used in the Fiat Dino spider and coupe. The thing that Kevin misses though in putting V8s into the Dino is that it actually ruins the nature of the car. The Dino V6 is not just about power but actually about finesse. The Dino V6 is an orchestral symphony. The V8, sadly while sure gives more power misses out in the aural splendour and with its flatplane crank sounds simply like a highly tuned 4cyl engine. So in my view it’s a huge mistake to ruin the ethos of the Dino. In simple terms leave the Dino alone and enjoy it for what it was designed to be.
Dino is a FIAT..... the engine was used in FIAT 130 and some more. Ferrari was almost bankrupt and FIAT the owner then made Dino and it saved the company.
@@lauralonghi6383 Make it strait then!! Give us the truth.... Is it with a V6 engine..... Was and is FIAT the owner of Ferrari.... What is inaccurate here!!
With all the Porsche independent outfits doing restomods, reimagined, new carbon chassis that look like a water cooled vintage 911 there is certainly room in the market for a new reimagined Dino.
The extra weight of safety and environmental requirements would kill the performance. You only have to look at the new Red Bull road car. The 246 was a daily driver, not some posing Instagram opportunity with huge air intakes to let the farts out.
Great video,, not a big fan of Ferrari's.. but will bow down to incredible workmanship.. my son and I are 90% done on custom restomod Jaguar XJS.. was just appraised very high and stated by Hagerty, to be one of one now..
As an Italian this is a CAPO LAVORO done by a master! This is the sort of England that you want to see. Well done and cheers to all 👍🏼

Amazing project. I still remember the first time watching the red Dino from Toni Curtis on TV in the early 70’s. 😊😊😊
What a lovely chilled guy.
Kevin has to be the coolest Ferrari guy I've ever seen! Impressive!

The color on Kevin's car, holy crap!
Looking forward to the updates (on your car and that 600 hp beast).
And liking the new wheels on Kevin’s car. They just look more correct.
What a lovely guy !! Hopefully get to see more of his car builds
The Dino has always been my favorite car ever since I was a just a young boy just beautiful
we all love Eurospares!
This thing SOUNDS so AMAZING!

@@somewhereyouarent thank you so much - I’m just glad you enjoyed it. Here’s to many more! ;)
Those bronze wheels are a work of art (same with the car mind you!)
These are fabulous vehicles. I'd love to see one with the front indicators deleted and moved to under the bumpers and a stroked V6
Fabulous video. WOW! The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
It's not the only Ferrari made car to not wear the Ferrari badge - the early Dino gt4s (308gt4) were also badged Dino only.
@@patrickdixon4945 excellent correction and good knowledge! Thank you for letting us know 🙏🏼
I seen the title and BOOM! I smashed the like button. Nice is an understatement

A resto mod Ferrari. Oh wow. Such a great result.
Congrats! What a great car and a great guy. Cant wait to see the finished project.
Awesome, really superb. If my numbers did come in, this would be on my dream wish list ! So glad these cars even exist, a true pleasure.

Suprised that Ferrari haven't gone after this Fella 4 making changes & showing Ferrari up . Good 4 him .
Sort of car harry metcalf would approve of
The dino is my all time favourite car everything about it is stunning there is nothing like it ,
Ever since I saw the David Lee car I knew this is special; it wouldn't surprise if he is the owner of the 600 hp car shown at the end!
Best video and so happy to hear the Ferrari sound.
@@Barry-26 it sounds so good doesn’t it!!
@@eurospares and it made my day better. Please do more videos Cheers

freking sweet!!! these gents are really amazing!
King Kev is awesome! Ive been to the workshop a few times and Kev's enthusiasm is amazing.
Lovely to see such fine work
Would rather have this restomod than any of the new ferarri offerings 😊
Absolutely beautiful
Great job.😍
Gorgeous
Impressive bit of kit

Man I wish that guy was my grandfather bet ur ass I would be working for him awesome dude
It's like painting over a Picasso....
Excellent interview, listens to the answers and develops on them. The BBC should use this as a training video!
Seems to me that this presenter has one of the best jobs in the world!
Pinching myself everyday Steve! ;)
Porsche 904/6 enters the room.
Need some beauty shots of KEvins car, nice desktop pic
EPIC guys
I recall in 1978 a guy had traded a 365 GTB/C 12er for a Dino. I thought he had lost his mind. But clearly, the Ferrari market far more than I did.
Brilliant, id love to know how much this would cost, my dream car of the seventies,and still now being much better than the original.😊
Kev = legend
Bellissimo restomod
Alfredo ed Enzo ne vorrebbero guidare una 👍
You need to sponsor Mat Armstrong
Couldn’t you’d the same diet to a 208/308 GT4 ?! I always loved that car….
For a wealthy gentlemen, this would be a nice car to have. The Dino is rather unique. For an ordinary individual, it's uneconomical to say the least. A new Mustang GT or something a bit newish is much more doable.
I wish i could afford a Dino to Restomod it. .i don't think you'd want to take your Ferrari anywhere else😊

You buy 10 and enjoy them all
Sono d'accordo con il suo parere 1240 enzo ,
Dino 246 è una cosa ,308 è altro . Saluti
I like this video and your style of presenting it but why are you even bothering wearing a seatbelt if you wear it under your arm?
Stratos , the one that got away , i wanted one so bad but the few available were priced at unreal levels of greed

I just don't understand why factories don't do these cars themselves... they would sell much better than those restomod they're pushing on.

The worlds worst sales man ever; you either get it or you don't, either way Kevin is a guy who knows exactly how to do the job
Enzo didn't call it a Ferrari because he didn't want to associate it with those much less attractive cars.
@@frankhoward7645 common misconception!
ah...but is it a Ferrari? ;)
SACRILEGE TO ''DOLLSHOUSE'' A DINO 246
had an original Dino back in the day, great Fiat, otherwise a piece of garbage...dont understand the value of them today overpriced for a Fiat
Another Dino Ruined !
