UTAC | Millbrook, Bedford Viewing: Tues 24th June from 12pm Auction: Wed 25th June from 9am Location: Millbrook Proving Ground, Station Lane, Bedford MK45 2JQ 1976 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 No Reserve Registration No: NPK 86P Chassis No: 11844 MOT: Exempt Original UK specification, Right Hand Drive car Extensive history file with bills evidencing much work performend by renowned Ferrari specialists Finished in Tour de France Blue over a Magnolia leather interior Launched at the 1973 Paris Salon, the Dino 308 GT4 was a seminal model for Maranello. The first V8-powered Ferrari, it was also the marque’s first non-Pininfarina styled production car. The work of Marcello Gandini at Bertone (whose other 1970s credits included the Lamborghini Countach and Lancia Stratos), its angular lines were in stark contrast to those of the outgoing Dino 246 GT. Enzo Ferrari personally oversaw the newcomer’s ergonomics, while multiple F1 World Champion Niki Lauda is said to have honed its driving dynamics. A 2+2-seater underpinned by a tubular steel spaceframe chassis featuring all-round independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, front / rear anti-roll bars and rack and pinion steering, the 308 GT4 was judged faster and better handling than its predecessor by the contemporary motoring press. The overall cockpit design was considered futuristic matched by the external aerodynamic bodywork. The desirability levels of these Ferraris are quietly ballooning with prices, quite rightly, following suit.
