1978 Ferrari 308

The Ferrari 308 GT4 launched the entire lineage of mid-engined V8 Ferrari sports cars, a bloodline that leads directly to icons like the 458 Italia. It was introduced as the Dino 308 GT4 at the 1973 Paris Salon with its name changed to Ferrari at end of 1976
Designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the Ferrari 308 GT4 featured an angular geometric design with a cab forward design to maximize cabin space and to accommodate two rear seats. The driver sat much closer to the front axle, and this unique layout gave the GT4 exceptional front-end mechanical grip and a beautifully balanced, communicative chassis that many period journalists argued handled better than the shorter, tail-heavier GTB. Its 2.9-liter 255 BHP all-alloy V8 featured four Weber carburetors and delivered a beautiful sharp mechanical soundtrack

This Example:
This Ferrari 308 GT4 was delivered new by Maranello Concessionaires on the 5th of January 1978. According to the original service booklet, the first recorded service in South Africa was on the 5th March 1985 at 22 973 miles in Johannesburg and first service recorded in Cape Town was by Viglietti Motors in 1989 at 27 700 miles. This example has been in long term ownership for almost 24 years, and an extensive maintenance record has been kept by the owner. A documented restoration was undertaken between January 2003 and March 2004, a Tubi style stainless steel exhaust was imported from Italy and electronic ignition fitted

This is an extremely well sorted example in excellent condition which is a pleasure to drive.
