History of the model Ferrari 308

The first presentation of the Ferrari 308 GTB was in Paris in 1975. The magazine “Auto Motor und Sport” called the 8-cylinder mid-engined sports car "Bella macchina". The designer Pininfarina knew how to combine elements of the predecessor Dino 246 GT and the 365 GT4 BB in a stylistically perfect way. The 308 series was very successful and was sold in a slightly modified form for 10 years. The engine was transversely installed and designed for timing belt control for the camshaft control and impresses with its very good response and excellent driving performance. Between 1975 and 1981 a total of 2897 pieces of the original GTB in the carburettor version with 255 HP were built.

The numbers "3" and "0" indicate the displacement, here 3.0 liters. The following number “8” stands for the number of cylinders. GT means Gran Turismo and the "B" stands for Berlinetta. That is what Ferrari traditionally called those coupés that only had two seats.

History of the offered vehicle

This beautiful Ferrari 308 GTB was first delivered in Italy. This is the "dry sump" version. In total, we were only able to determine 3 previous owners in Italy. In 2018 this GTB was repainted by Scartapatti in Mantova / Italy and sold a little later to an ambitious collector in Cologne. Due to his professional change, this extraordinary Ferrari is now available again and we are offering him on commission

The history is completely understandable. This 308 is completely matching, the color combination also corresponds to the delivery configuration. The paint is as good as new, the interior is original, but in excellent, almost new condition. The color combination is beautiful. This Ferrari has been in our service for the past few years. The technology, engine, carburetor and drive train have all been serviced, last timing belt change in 2019. This sports car is equipped with electric windows and air conditioning.

Extensive documentation is available, including a manual and service invoices. All in all an early and much sought-after wild 308 with an outstanding appearance.

Summary

From our point of view, it is one of the best 308 GTBs on the market. The design, the background noise and the actual problem-free driving of this "Cavallino Rampante" cause heart pounding even for people who have only a tiny drop of gasoline in their blood. It is already considered a timeless classic with a very good potential for appreciation.

The mileage is read. For more information about the performance of our bodywork department and workshop, please visit our website or visit us in person.

If you like everything you have read and seen so far and you want to view the car, PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! Spontaneous visitors are always welcome, but without guarantee that individual vehicles will be able to be viewed in detail.

In addition to our offer and taking into account the current pandemic situation and the associated travel obstacles, we offer an "online inspection" for our vehicles.

If you are still interested in the vehicle offered to you, we offer you the opportunity to take a look at "your" vehicle via whatsapp, Facetime or Skype. You can direct the cameraman and you can look at all vehicle locations in peace, if necessary also on a lifting platform. Since this service is a little time-consuming, we ask for a 24-hour advance notice for a possibly planned “video conference”.

We would be very happy if we could at least get to know each other in this way and present our vehicle to you.
