THE FERRARI 308 'VETRORESINA'
The Ferrari 308 GTB made its grand debut at the 1975 Paris Salon as Ferrari's first fiberglass or, vetroresina -bodied production car. The new model not only pioneered this new production method for Scaglietti and Ferrari but was also only the second V8-engined road going model produced by the illustrious marque. Mechanically the 308 GTB borrowed much from the 308 GT4, retaining its predecessor's underpinnings and four-cam, 3.0-liter V8 engine, whose 255bhp was good enough to propel the 308 GTB to a top speed of 150 mph. Whilst the 308 in its various iterations went on to have a lengthy and successful production run, the use of the composite body was phased out after only 808 cars were produced.
The vetroresina models today represent the most desirable iteration of the iconic 308. A significant weight saving of circa 80kg ensures that these early examples fully exploit the dynamic chassis and punchy engine characteristics of the model.
THE CAR OFFERED
This 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina was delivered new the USA in the stunning colour combination of Azurro Metallic over Nero leather interior. While the early history of this chassis was not available at the time of cataloguing, this excellent example is being offered from an extensive private collection. Still remaining in its original and particularly appealing color scheme, the car earned its Ferrari Classiche Certification in October of 2015 and comes complete with its red book certification – something rarely done for 308s. With just 15,768 miles indicated at the time of cataloguing, this 308 is in superb order, with authentic details verified during the Classiche Certification process. The consignor reports the car was recently serviced, and presents the opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable variants of Ferrari's most iconic modern-era production car.
