Vehicle Description
The Ferrari 308 GTB was the long awaited replacement for the Dino
246 GT model and it made its inaugural appearance at the 1975 Paris
Salon. The Pininfarina designed body had a pronounced wedge
profile, with a rectangular egg-crate aluminium radiator grille
below a slim full width satin black front bumper. However, there
were numerous key design elements of the Dino 246 GT carried
through into the body details. These included the scalloped door
intakes, twin circular rear light assemblies, and the vertical
concave rear screen bounded by buttressed sail panels. In essence
the shape was a modernisation of that of the Dino, with enough
traces of its predecessor to provide a thread of continuity,
earning praise from the press and clients alike. This excellent,
carburettor 308 GTB is finished in the desirable Giallo Fly with a
contrasting black interior. The first and only UK owner informs us
the car is a rust free US import from the West Coast and has
recently benefitted from over �7,000 worth of refurbishment which
includes all new suspension bushings, brakes,�cam belts�and a
carburettor rebuild. UK registered, it comes with partial history
along with an MoT test certificate valid until June 2018. The 308
carburettor model is one of the most classical shapes produced by
Ferrari in the 1970s and 1980s and refreshing to see it finished in
the Giallo Fly colour scheme. � For sale by auction on Saturday 23
