Commentaires du vendeur sur 1978' Ferrari 308 Gts

The Ferrari 308 GTS was first introduced in 1977 as a Targa top variant of the existing GTB model. Essentially it was marketed to replace the legendary 246 Dino and sit just under their flagship 365 GT4 BB model. In keeping with Ferrari tradition, styling was entrusted to legendary design house Pininfarina and featured a much more aggressive aero package than its predecessor whilst still retaining a mid-mounted engine layout. The all new engine was a 3L V8 mounted transversely behind the drivers cockpit and featured 4 x Weber carburettors to produce 252bhp and a top speed of 251 km/h. A total of 3,219 308 GTS models were produced during their 4 year production run. This Ferrari 308 GTS was originally sold new in California, USA and was imported to Australia in the 1990s by the previous owner. During his ownership the vehicle underwent a full ground up, “nut and bolt” no expense spared restoration which was completed in 2014. This including a conversion to RHD, back to bare metal respray in its original Rosso Corsa, original matching number engine out rebuild and new period correct trim. All works were carried out by renowned Ferrari expert Carmelo Calabro in Adelaide, South Australia. It was acquired by GCCM in 2015 from the President of the South Australia Ferrari Car Club. Today it presents in overall excellent condition and is an amazing opportunity to purchase one of the highly desirable early carburettor 308 GTS models. *Test Drive and Viewing by Appointment Only
