DESCRIPTION

Introduced by Ferrari at the Paris Salon in 1975, the Pininfarina designed 308 GTB model became the firm's second V8-engined road car, sporting a 3.0-litre power unit capable of producing 255bhp and a top speed of 150 mph. Initial production commenced with a dry sump engine and glass fibre bodywork, in Italian, "Vetroresina', with later cars having a more traditional wet sump engine. This was the first time Ferrari has used this material for the bodywork and still to this day there is much discussion as to why they choose to go down this route. The official factory figures state that only 808 "Vetroresina' cars were produced in total, making it a rare and exclusive Ferrari to own today.

We are pleased to offer this superb, rare, Ferrari 308 Vetroresina with only 42.000 km on the odometer. Originally delivered in Blue, the car was repainted later in its life to the iconic Rosso Corsa with Black leather upholstery. It's fitted with the desirable factory Air-Conditioning option, as well as the optional larger, racing-inspired, front spoiler, very evocative of the competition career of the 308 GTB.

Another extremely rare period accessory is a Panasonic radio-cassette deck fitted to the roof of the cockpit, very aircraft-like! The car is presented with its Ferrari tool-roll, original lift-jack, and period owner's manual along with further maintenance invoices.

Recently serviced with new cambelts fitted, this LHD Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina, with its thrilling 3ltr dry-sump engine and its lightweight glass fibre body, is a great opportunity to acquire a very rare Ferrari in exceptional condition.
