A much loved vehicle by many. Seemed to reflect the exotic nature of the series.
Timing was spot on with the advent of colour TV becoming widespread in the early 70s. Enabled full appreciation of the marque.
Great to see the full restoration and the story behind it.

Does anyone know if the Dino still survives? I guess it does somewhere.

The Saint Spoil sport. It'd be great to see the Dino and the Aston together again. Still, I'm glad its still around

The Dino still resides in Italy with its long time owner, I doubt it will ever see the light of day as far as fans of 'The Persuaders' are concerned. Sad, but true! Villain

Here's a classic bit of footage of this superb motor and the man himself:

Here's a classic bit of footage of Sir Roger and Tony reunited with Alan Titchmarsh in about 2008:
Great to see Tony's surprise when a special guest arrives.
It is apparent from the interactions even about 35 years where much of the extra episode dialogue between the two arose.
