That's plain silly - did the 246 or the 206 SP need such a bulletin to sell? LOL....
Call me a purist, but the whole point of the car name was to present to the world a fitting tribute to a father's love for his son....if people don't 'get' that, I feel sorry for them. Makes for a reverent story for the curious. Wear that Dino badge with pride, my friend....its the way Enzo wanted it.

actually in march of 1975 the Ferrari factory sent out a bulletin (if anyone wants it I have it and copies i provided are all over online) telling dealers to switch badges and many other upgrades.
My car came as a dino and was rebadged at the dealer before sale. I like the dino emblem however i am trying to keep my car as original as I can....

I know at a certain point they were heavily prevalent, but early on there were no ferrari badges. It's not thinking the gt/4 isn't "good enough" to have the Ferrari name on it....I just think it's cooler in a car guy way to have the dino badges instead. It was quite the unique car in many regards and the name would help as well. FG ps - If there's stuff on the motor I'd leave it alone....just exterior and interior (e.g. steering wheel).
