THE FERRARI 308

Introduced at the Paris Auto Salon in 1975, the contemporary styled 308 GTB - Ferrari's second V8 road car - marked a return to Pininfarina styling following the Bertone-designed 308 GT4. Badged as a 'proper' Ferrari, the 308 GTB had changed little mechanically apart from a reduction in both wheelbase and weight, retaining its predecessor's underpinnings and transversely mounted engine that now featured dry-sump lubrication. In road tune this superbly engineered power unit produced 255bhp, an out-put good enough to propel the 308 GTB to a top speed of over 150mph. An exhilarating driver's car and a Ferrari purist's delight, the 308 GTSi and its many derivatives proved a huge commercial success for Maranello, with over 12,000 sold.

The car would be kept in the care of a single owner for the next 32 years before changing hands in 2014. With 3 owners from new, this car now presents in exceptional preservation condition, having covered fewer than 3500 miles during its life and always being well cared for. In recent years, this 308 GTSi has received an FCA Platinum as well as a Preservation Platinum award for its originality.

This is example is equipped with the 2.9-Liter, 205-hp V-8 engine fueled by Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection backed by a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car is fitted with a radio, air-conditioning, power brakes and windows. A timing belt service was complete in 2014 and the car has been maintained since acquired by the current owner in 2014. Today, the car is described as being exceptionally enjoyable to drive, being looked after in a prominent international collection of cars.
