Produced from 1975 until 1985, the Ferrari 308 replaced the Dino 246 GT and served as the entry point to the Ferrari line-up. Widely represented in popular culture, the 308 has matured into a desirable classic in its own right, and this particular 1984 example is truly exceptional. 

This example

The striking lines were penned by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, and have dated very well indeed. In this QV (Quattrovalvole) variant power came from a four-valves per cylinder 2.9L V8 that produced around 177kW. Power went to the rear wheels courtesy of an open-gate five-speed manual gearbox.

The superb example is finished in the demanded Rosso Corsa over black leather interior and has been in 11-year ownership by a Ferrari collector who has covered less than 1000 km in his tenure.

The bodywork presents very well and the interior, whilst being original, is absolutely superb with no blemishes and the chrome shines as it did when it came out of factory.

Belt changes have happened twice in this period and the car is accompanied with the optional air-con, car cover, well documented history, tool kit and jack.
