Amongst the hierarchy of Ferrari's 308 GTB models, the earliest
iterations are amongst the most desirable. Originally produced with
fiberglass bodywork and carbureted engines, later models progressed
to steel bodywork with fuel injection. Typical for Ferrari, there
was a gradual transition between these specifications with some
cars specified like the example here, sporting steel bodywork and a
dry-sump engine fitted with four Weber 40 DCNF twin-choke
carburettors.
Offered here today from single Italian ownership from new, this
'carter-secco' 308 GTB was delivered to its first owner in June of
1980 through Walter Bordese s.r.l. of Turin, Italy, according to
its accompanying service book. Finished in Rosso over a Beige
interior, it sports the same colour scheme today, having been
exceptionally well preserved from new.
Furthermore, the car received Ferrari Classiche Certification in
December of 2017, confirming that it presents today just as it left
the factory when new. Still wearing its original Italian
registration, it remained with its original owner until 2017 and
has remained unregistered since. In 2017, it was serviced by Forza
Service s.r.l. of Turin and more recently has been serviced by
Rossacorsa. Furthermore, the 308 has been ASI homologated and is
accompanied by its ASI gold plate.
It goes without saying that single-owner 308s are becoming a true
rarity, and as such, this Classiche certified example warrants
serious consideration.
