The L-series served as the direct successor to the 206 GT and was built from March of 1969 until October of 1970. During this time, only 357 total examples were built, and they are considered by connoisseurs as the "bridge" between the 206 and 246 GTs. The L-Series kept many details from the 206 including, the more purposeful 206-style seats and dash, center-lock knock-off wheels, a deeper passenger foot well with a folding footrest, and numerous other small distinctions. More significantly, the L-series cars featured lightweight alloy doors and deck lids whereas the later M- and E-series cars used heavier all-steel bodies.

Chassis 00822 was originally delivered in Giallo Fly paint over Nero vinyl interior to Auto Becker in Dusseldorf, Germany. In the early seventies it was sold to a Dr. from California before passing to its presumably third owner Dr. Hal Dennis of Hillsborough, CA. Dr. Dennis would retain the Dino for nearly forty years and records on file document notes and services from his ownership.
