Delivered to Italy in Oct 1972then imported to USA before 1977, his is long time Southern California and I've owned it for 10 years. Per the Dino Compendium p.259, errari producedonly401 Euro GTS Dinos and p.207 shows these Euro versions command a 20% price premium. The lighter weight of the Euro version body combined with the more aggressive Euro cams, hree lobe distributor andfree flowing Ansa headers /exhaustmake this a superior driving car to its USA counterpart. USA cars also have extra plumbing in the engine compartment which heat soaks that area.I have owned this car for 10 years and it has never hesitated to start nor suffered hot start issues like US cars can.There is a You Tube videoP6r2JfTqNQsof a cold start showing that starting catches easily and does not smoke.
