DESCRIPTION
The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975, as a parallel model to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the sensuous Dino 246. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti and the early cars were made of lightweight fibreglass and powered by a 255bhp(in Europe) V8 running on carburettors. The Targa topped 308 GTS arrived in 1977 and was perhaps best known for its regular appearances on the television series "Magnum, P.I'.
Desirable Carburettor model
Perfect car to use an enjoy
Would benefit from cosmetic improvements
The 308 here is a 1978 carburettor car that has been imported from California. The Rosso Corsa paintwork has been faded by the California sun (all red cars fade) and, as a result, would benefit from some attention, however it would be ideal to use and enjoy without worry whilst planning a bit of a refurb.
Showing 83,000kms, we are advised that the interior is in good, original condition and that the engine runs well. This pretty, 1978 308 GTS looks to be in very good condition overall.
This 308 is an ideal Ferrari to enjoy this summer and offers great value relative to 328s and 348s. A removable roof panel allows that 'wind in the hair' feeling and direct steering and balanced mid-engine handling, combined with that frenetic V8 noisily sucking air and fuel through a quartet of Weber carburettors over your shoulder, makes this 308 GTS a thrill at any speed.
