Description
Lot #1081 - The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a supplement to the Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the Dino 246. It was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti, who had been responsible for some of Ferrari's most celebrated shapes to date, such as the Daytona, the Dino and the Berlinetta Boxer. The 308 used elements of these shapes to create something very much in contrast to the angular GT4 2+2. The GTB/GTS was a 2-seater with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, and has become one of the most recognizable and iconic cars produced by Ferrari to date. This Ferrari 308 GTBi has been family-owned for over 30 years; the family is the second owner. Finished in immaculate Nero paintwork with beautiful black leather interior and Nero carpets, the car presents beautifully particularly with its Italian wool headliner. This auto is an extremely rare original with under 1,800 original miles, supported by a documented service history that includes a recent major service, including timing belts. It's equipped with a 2.9-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission. With factory-fitted air conditioning and still retaining its rare and desirable jack kit, tools and books, this fantastic Ferrari 308 is ready to use and enjoy.
