Footnotes

In 1975 Ferrari had introduced a 2.0-litre version of the Dino 308GT4 - the 208GT4 - to take advantage of the Italian market's vehicle taxation system, and it did the same following the introduction of the successor 308 GTB and GTS models in 1980. The 208 GTB and GTS used the same V8 engine, which featured a reduced bore size of 66.8mm (from 81mm) for a capacity of 1,991cc and produced 155bhp at 7,700rpm. By the time they were superseded by Turbo versions in 1982, a total of 160 GTB and 140 GTS models had been completed.

Sold by the famous Milanese Ferrari dealer Crepaldi, this 208 GTB was first registered in Milano in July 1980 with license number MI 90272H. Its first owner was one Gianfranco Trezzi from Milano. Little is known about the car history until 1989 when it was purchased by Gianpietro Bronzini and registered in Modena with license number MO 812365. The car changed hands again in 1998, before being acquired by the vendor in 2015.

Since the acquisition by the actual owner, the car undergone maintenance works, including a service, works to the brakes and the cambelt change.

Finished in Rosso Corsa with Nero Connolly leather interior, this car is equipped with air conditioning, electric windows, and a Nardi steering wheel. It sits on correct Cromodora 14" alloy wheels. Presented in generally good original condition, this rare Ferrari model comes complete with tool kit and spare wheel, and is offered with an Italian registration document.
