EXTERIOR
Achingly pretty from every angle the Pininfarina designed body of the 308 is timeless thanks to a combination of sharp angles, sculpted intakes and sweeping curves. Resplendent in Rosso Red, this legendary mid-engined V8 coupe defined an entire genre of Ferrari. Recently restored by the current owner the car was chemically stripped back to resin and re-finished in Rosso – THE colour for the GTB with the rich hue accentuated perfectly by all manner of light conditions.

Black trim details provide a subdued contrast to the bright coachwork and show free from any signs of cracks or fading. Headlights, as well as rear light fixings, were also stripped, renewed and repaired where necessary.

INTERIOR
Perfectly offsetting the striking Rosso bodywork the interior of this iconic sports car is a minimal affair, showing a stunning combination of tan and black leather leather with intricate chrome detailing throughout. The seats show a little patination, but still retain excellent shape and integrity. Door cards and dash still fit and feel solid whilst the truly 70’s brown carpet is clean and tidy throughout.

Low slung sports seats provide an upright but comfortable driving position, with a thin rimmed Momo steering wheel and trademark gated dog-leg 5-speed gearbox creating that driver-focused feel synonymous with Ferrari.

Providing some period luxuries the specification extends to a factory air-conditioning system and Pioneer FM/Cassette radio for some entertainment on the go.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Featuring a DOHC 2.9L V8 mounted transversely behind the driver, the 308 is a significant car in the timeline of Ferrari. As the first car to feature a mid-engine V8 it set the tone for every coupe produced by the brand for 40+ years.

Producing 252bhp this early carburettor Vetroresina is also fitted with a factory limited slip differential and gated 5-speed dog leg gearbox to create a new benchmark in sports coupe’s; capable of 0-60mph in just 6.2 seconds thanks to a dry weight of just over 1,100kg.

Mechanically this 308 GTB is in superb order with a recent overhaul at DK including a major service alongside a new cam-belt, crankshaft seal & oil cooler air-ducting.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Completing the period style of the GTB are a factory fitted set of Speedline 16 inch 5 spoke alloys accompanied by Pirelli P7 rubber on all four corners.

Brakes have recently been bled and checked to ensure they perform as they should.

HISTORY FILE
Delivered new to Australia in 1976, this Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ left the factory in Argento Silver and was resprayed in the timeless colourway of Rosso over a tan interior.

A magnificent early history is annotated by all service invoicing and a summary sheet accounting for all work carried out up until 1985. After a period in storage the car was Imported and registered in the UK in 2015 with the owner deliberately seeking a solid and low mileage example from a dry climate such as Australia. Although used only sparingly, OBA 462P would be a regular participant at many Ferrari Owner’s Club rallies and tours.

Complete with its original owner’s manual and service book, this elegant 308 has recently been subject to a major cambelt service and additional works by marque specialists, DK Engineering.

The GTB is a rarer car on our roads than the later GTS model and to many, demonstrates the Pininfarina design in it’s purest form.
