Chassis:
Completed early in 1965, this was the works prototype for the subsequent 206 S Dino sports racer. As the 166 P, powered by a 1.6-litre engine, it was campaigned by the works team at a variety of events including the Monza, Nürburgring and Le Mans rounds of the World Championship. After Le Mans, it was fitted with a two-litre engine for hill-climbing. To further lighten the car, the roof was chopped off entirely after one hill-climb outing. Scarfiotti would drive it to a total of four wins in the summer of 1965 on his way to the European Championship in the sports car category. The car was raced off an on until the summer of 1970. At some point, the windshield and roll-over bar were fitted again bringing the car to a similar configuration as the 206 S Dinos. Between 1967 and 1997, chassis 0834 was owned by Leandro Terra, who retained the car after giving its final contemporary outings. Among its subsequent owners were Carlos Monteverde and Harry Leventis, who owned the car from 1999 through to 2012. During this period, it was raced extensively in historic events. The current, Austrian owner bought the car from Leventis and has since given it outings at events like the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
