The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 and was built alongside the 308 GT4, contrived as a replacement for the 246 Dino. Designed by Leonardo Fiorvanti, the man who styled some of the most iconic Ferraris 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 the 308 was produced in fibreglass after which steel was used. The 308 shared a similar tube frame chassis as the original Dino and 308 GT4 with four-wheel double wishbone independent suspension. The engine was a V8 unit which was positioned behind the driver; it was transversely mounted with double overhead camshafts and four 40DCNF Weber carburettors, latterly replaced with Bosch K Jetronic mechanical fuel injection.

This 1981 Ferrari 308 is finished in Rosso Corsa with Tan interior. Imported from the U.S. it comes with a NOVA certificate and the original owners title. Present are also the owners manual and two sets of keys, together with some service documents. These super stylish Ferrari's of the period are fantastic to drive when on song. Whilst this example may require a small amount of recommissioning, it is competitively estimated given the condition and odometer reading. An ideal opportunity to provide the next owner with many years of pleasurable driving in one of Italy's finest. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
