- This week James visits Moto Technique to explore the world of restoration and modification. Established in 1980 Kevin O’Rourke and his team have been quietly beavering away on some of the most ambitious and exciting restomods anywhere in the world. If you have seen David Lee’s Ferrari Dino then you know what we are talking about because these are the guys that built it!
The pair take a look at at Kevin’s own Ferrari Dino which serves as the ‘mule’ for their restomod projects, look at current projects including two Ferrari 308’s which have had some serious upgrades in performance as well as discussing what is changing on the restomod scene and why it has become so popular in recent years.
We also reveal Kevin’s most ambitious project to date, a 246 Ferrari Dino with a 600 BHP 458 Italia engine running through a six speed Ferrari 430 manual transmission and suspension and be upgraded with carbon ceramic brakes.

custom classic car restorers = creating automotive jewellery = artisans of great talent !
This was a great video for anyone (myself included) who loves Dino's, and classic car restorations ! Keep the classics on the roads, not only in museums !
Talking of the 458 engined Dino going to "re-write the Evo book". Can't wait to read that book!!
My all time favourite car, from watching “the persuaders” and Tony Curtis driving the Dino as a kid I was mesmerised by this car. I probably will never own one, but if I win the lottery then my first call will be to Kevin and his company. I really enjoyed this programme, thanks.
That was my entry into the "Dino Dream" too… hooked!
Brilliant. These are some of the most wonderful cars ever made. Great to see them being kept alive.
His Dino is absolutely stunning!
This project sounds amazing, i look forward to seeing the end result.
I will also be playing the Euro millions tonight to get enough to place a order for myself
The Dino 246 GT is my favorite car of all time! Loved the video.
Had a chance to meet Kevin at pebble beach and closely look at the black F-40 powered Dino. Very wonderful gentleman. Love their work and vision.
Amazing work - love that they’re able to add and not subtract from the beauty of the originals.
Love the "Rosso Kevino" - superb!
Absolutely fascinating video , the black Dino on those original style 18 s is stunning
I wish I had this sort of money 💰😎
Oh my holy ... this is brilliant finally Ferraris can get modified like Porsches
do not compere Dino to Porsche the dino is far nicer than the german car
Outlaw Ferrari - This shop does amazing work with these classics
I honestly think the Dino is the most beautiful car ever made. I love what the Moto Technique team have done. Amazing.
100% original vs restomod, each to their own, no right or wrong way. I personally prefer restomod because it combines the grace and beauty of previous times integrated with modern understandings, technology and materials - love the video..thanks..
Chris (NZ).
My god!!! I’d be in that workshop every day if I lived down south!!! What a fantastic company!!
Wow that Dino restomod is one of the best looking cars I’ve ever seen...my first thought was I want one 😍
11 yo when I got a scale model of a Dino in 1978. It was my favorite model I ever did. So exotic for a kid from Maine. Still love this car in 2021 and believe it’s still the most beautiful Italian designed body. Curvy, and just Pretty to look at.
I like the line, "so exotic for a kid from Maine" and it's these wonderful experiences of our childhood
that helps shape who we are.
That headlight mod makes the front end even sexier
What a nice bloke and what beautiful cars is he creating fantastic
Outstanding. Really enjoyed that!
David Lee's 246 evo is my grail car.🤗
Great video. I wish @collectingcars would do more like this. Thank you.
Fantastic video! Kevin reminded me of ‘Barry the Baptist’. I would love to work at a place like this, the engineering and hand crafting is just gorgeous.
I think this is one of the most beautiful machines ever made!The deep dark red paint looks perfect. This guy has great taste. A manual 458 engined Dino, that’s gonna be so mad! Crazy American 😂😂
The maroon colour is sublime
Excellent, really interesting thank you 👍
Looks like the same road Mr. AMG test drives on. Excellent story in every way.
Beautiful work being done
Great work
Best paint job ( candy apple red) I’ve ever seen.
Love the rims on the black 308
Agreed. If your dream car won't start when you want it to...it won't be your dream car very long. I bought a 1967 MGB GT to restomod. When I turn the key, I want it to start in any weather. Beautiful body with an engine that works 100% of the time!
Great content.
This car is very special and I love it
Really interesting video (as a former non UK based RHD Classiche certified Dino (after the restoration I initiated) 246GTS chairs and flares owner that when I bought it was basically undriveable) this really gives a lot of superb info - sadly a former owner...!
Excellent stuff. I cant help thinking that the main man's 246 (mule) is going to get mistaken for a DGt 306 GTS kit car with those wheels though and that would be a crime. Superb craftmanship, very impressive operation.
Great vid
proper job👍
Stunning .. and an interesting point made about matching numbers .. very relevant if a historically important car (e.g. Le Mans etc), but less so for others. I guess also only an issue if you see these as an investment.
What a sound guy Kevin is.
Absolutely awesome. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Shop owner is pure class!! ❤️
Great video. This guys shop is amazing and very interesting. When I win the lottery - I will buy from him.
the small shock absorber for the rear exhaust is just amazing...no ugly rubber bushings here..!!!
Fantastic car.
Well spoken by Mr. O'Rourke especially regarding modifications to a street car. This thing about matching numbers for cars built in quantity is ridiculous.
Am I the only one who was relieved when they found out the Dino in the back wasn't an EV conversion?
You can drive these cars as far as you want and know you can get home... classic cool.
I see a vid featuring a Dino and I click on it, give it an immediate thumbs-up, then settle down to watch 👍
what if they were slagging it off? Is that how you vote too?
Wow, i want a manual 458 engined Dino.
I've always wanted to see someone put a modern Ferrari V8 Twin Turbo in a Testarossa. They have more HP than the old boxer 12 cylinder. 385hp vs 710hp in the F8 Tributo, almost double the power. There is certainly enough room in the engine bay.
Maranello should build that last one..epic
Is that the bright green Miura who's restoration was covered in the wonderful "Supercar classics" magazine, many, many years ago?
Next....a Dino GTO...500 hp.
The original Dino 246 is for me. If I could afford to modify it then I would own another one.
interesting.. I have a question...the cost? ....just curious as it is the only thing not mentioned but I am imagining at least twice the price of a new F8? or maybe even a way lot more than that .So for example the 308s up on the ramps, the red and the black one, what would be the approximate cost for a finished car? , bearing in mind a standard 308 GTB is about 70k pounds sterling for a reasonably good one , a Ferrari Dino that is roadworthy is 200k -400k, so are we getting towards a million quid for a modified Dino? Or is that way of the mark? If it is way off the mark I wouldn't know whether that would be an overestimate or an under estimate!!!!
Wish I had the know how, imagine what these guys are raking in?
Went around the world for 25 years, at her majesty’s pleasure
I have never been happier that I don't have a 308!
that black 308 gtb looks mean
Anyone seen david lee dino with a 355 motor.its on the Jay Leno channel
Oops.was mentioned in this video. Yes greenferrari car is gorgeous
I’m fortunate to know Father and Son.... both geniuses in their field 🙏🏻🙏🏻
i always feel geniuses should be spelled geniui :/
amazing stuff and if wealthy, would be in the queue. However the arch extensions are simply awful - the entire arch needs pulling out, c 30mm - more like the 288 GTO :) - You can add that to my bill....
Lovely example of the Dino but, I'm wondering why, if the car was initially sold to someone in the Lebanon, why is it RHD?
This is my favorite Ferrari (i have built a scale model of the car the only way i can afford one!)
Love it except for the gold rims. I would have chrome/silver myself.
Now I know where my lottery winnings will be going. Must remember to buy a ticket.
Put the correct style number plate on it though.
Resto mod are alright but still one should preserve the genuine mechanical engineering from that time that is also quite important .
Please lose the kitsch gold wheels
This...hate them. Too big and destroys the proportions in my view.
Such linguists the Brits. Thirty years with ferraris and O’Rourke still pronounces “Classiche” like “ Corniche”. It’s not a french word, in italy we say “classy-keh”
Could this guy take a donor Tesla S Plaid and convert a Dino Evo to battery? 0-60 mph in 2 sec.
At 00:23 I lost my s*** !
That black 308 Berlinetta is porn.
It looks like Darth Vader's personal transport.
..If I were a rich man......
Isn’t the Dino not a ferrari? Like.., it is but it wasn’t sold with the ferrari name on it?
Enzo loved his son so much that when he died quite young (he was a mechanical genius) Enzo named the Dino after him, that's why it's not a "Ferrari" but it is really.
Ferrari Dino v12 246 Jay Lenos is best one
Germany and the EU have banned all combustion cars after 2030, from 2025 on there will be only very limited fuel supply, only one gas station per city or county....
Until they realise net zero is nuts, then they will push back the deadlines for net zero.
An original spec Dino 246 seems like a really expensive car for that restomod. It probably lost some of the value of an original car versus restoring to its original condition. OTOH, 308s are a good deal less valuable (not cheap, but under $100K US). That makes a 308 it a more reasonable base for a restomod - sort of like the relatively low cost Porsche 964s that got Singer started.
@4:35 “From Lebanon it moved further south into the Middle East”. Apparently he forgot the name of the country south of Lebanon.
#Defendisrael
Enzo would've approved...
Not keen of the wheels on the red dino
Sure wish I were rich.....
The gold wheels on the Dino are absolutely disgusting I hope that’s just a testing decision, and not permanent
Interesting how little airtime foreign/italian classics get until they get a BRITISH restobuild. ”Aaaaa the Alfaholics! Aaaaah the MotoTechnique!”
Doesn’t matter if a maroon 246 w illfitting gold wheels look shite. 😄
Not saying they’re doing a bad job - just pointing out a certain oldschool british protectionism. 😊
Hillman Imp perhaps?
@@PazLeBon Prob a huge hit yeah.. 😄
Good video, but, basic point....don't cross the line mate, it's very confusing for the viewer even in these days.........
This guy is building 25 Dino's for David Lee in America, David Lee owns the black one with the silver 18" alloys.
David Lee has commissioned these guy to build the Dino's and David is selling them.
They left all this part out
There is no such thing as a "Ferrari Dino". It is a "DINO". The badge on the Hood and the badge on the steering wheel say "DINO". Common rookie error.
Hate the rims on his original Dino
Interesting subject but just another video where the interviewer does all the talking and very little is leaned from the expert.
Those Modena wheels look hideous on that Dino...
Getting so sick of seeing that bloody closed-road track on every single YT channel.
You and me both ! It's been used in a couple of James Bond film, a few TV series, McLaren use the track for testing....... Oh please use another circuit.
It's Longcross Proving Ground near Chobham in Surrey. I did my Defensive Driving course there in the '90s and been to a few car demos there subsequently. It's useful for testing and filming cars like these because you can drive as if it's a normal public road, albeit with no speed limits and only whatever other traffic you want to introduce. That's why you see it a lot in films and TV.
@@timgosling6189 took a 911 turbo s around there a couple of years ago and done a few dualathlons there too
I like it. Cars can be hammered in a real world scenario. And compared apples for apples.
I'll happily design a new shop logo to see that back of that signage out front.... what on earth....? Looks like a pub sign.
Pub signs have been keeping people away from pubs huh?
Oof... sad.
non plussed means confused, not indifferent.
my high hair makes me look taller....! I'm not a short man...!
This guy is wreaking Dinos. Get him off that stuff.
The red Dino shouldn't have those modern gold wheels on. Ruins the classic overall look.
I can remember when no one wanted a rust prone, temperamental, 'peoples Ferrari' Dino.....No, really !!
I remember them in the '80s being rust-buckets, advertised for £2000!
@@timgosling6189 Don't think they were that cheap in the 80's, but can remember around late 70's a dealer had one for £9000 it was quite rusty even then at about 6 - 7 years old !
make my hair bigger so Im taller...I am the short man...!
