Overview
Introduced in 1975 at the Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari 308 was to become the mainstay of the range for the next decade.
The body of the car was originally made in fibreglass, which changed to steel in 1977 and arguably vastly improved the car and handling. The engine was originally offered with Carburettor, but changed to Fuel Injection in 1980, followed by a Quattro Valve QV Model in 1982.
The 'Targa Roofed' Ferrari 308 GTS was introduced in 1977 and was made famous on the television series Magnum PI . Several cars were used, a new one for each season, most being auctioned off after filming. The first was a 1979 model with chassis number 28251. it is now finally recognised as an all time classic shape and design with values steadily growing, notably during the last 3 years.
The Steel Bodied Carburettor models are of particular interest to the collectors as they all represent the original car with the improvement of the Steel Body.
The interest is increasing at an exponential rate, which has reflected in the values which are almost increasing on a weekly basis. The car is due to be fully restored and undergo a Ferrari Classiche, that will see the price of this vehicle increase.
This particular UK right hand drive Ferrari 308 GTS is a steel bodied carburettor car that has covered a well documented total of 24,122 miles from new.
Finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema Hide, it has been extensively maintained throughout it's life - the history file showing detailed receipts from well respected marque specialists.
All previous owners were clearly enthusiasts and prepared to pay for thorough maintenance to the engine, gearbox and clutch as the detailed bills and receipts on file confirm.
With the MOT expiring in April 2015 this car is ready to enjoy.
