The 308GTB was launched at the
Paris Motor Show in 1975 and was built alongside the 308GT4. br/>designed as a replacement for the 246 Dino. Designed by Leonardo
Fiorvanti. the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferrari's
including the Daytona. the new 308 was a rakish and attractive body
which fused classic elements of Ferrari styling with a thoroughly
modern design. For the first two years of production. the body of
the308 was produced in fibreglass after which steel was used.
The 308 shared a similar tube frame chassis as the original Dino
and 308GT4 with four wheel double wishbone independent suspension.
The engine was a V8 unit which was positioned behind the driver and
was transversely mounted with double overhead camshafts and four
40DCNF Weber carburettors latterly replaced with Bosch K Jetronic
mechanical fuel injection.
This lefthand drive 1978 Ferrari 308GTS is the more desirable
carburettor model which are now quite rare to find and are the most
powerful of all the models was recently been imported from Canada
where it had four owners. all of whom maintained the car to a very
high standard. the last owner kept it in his private collection for
the last eight years and had the car repainted in its original
colour of Rosso Rubina. an elegant dark red. It comes with a good
history file with a lot of invoices and on arrival to the UK. it
was taken to a specialist who carried out a major service and
replaced the cambelts. The original beige leather seats are in very
good condition as are the matching carpets and the black targa top
still has its original stowage bag. The Ferrari is supplied with
the Canadian registration document. the HMRC NOVA letter which
confirms that all the import duties have been paid. an UK MoT test
certificate which expires in September 2015. the handbook pack
containing all of the original books and papers. the original tool
roll. a rare Rotor box of spare bulbs and fuses. an original
inspection lamp and a file with the invoices relating to the
mechanical work that has been done to the car. With only 32. 50
miles on the clock the 308 is a very drivable and a car which one
can easily settle into driving. This is an excellent example with
the right specification which will benefit as future values
rise.
