The Ferrari 308 GTB Berlinetta and Targa topped 308 GTS are V8 mid-engined, 2-seater sports cars manufactured from 1975 to 1985, and replaced the Dino 246 GT and GTS in 1975.
The 308 had a tube frame with separate body. The engine was a V8 of a 90 degree configuration, with belt-driven twin overhead camshafts per cylinder bank. It was transversely mounted in unit with the trans-axle transmission assembly, which was below and to the rear of the engine's sump. All models used a fully synchromesh 5-speed manual and a clutch-type limited slip differential. Suspension was all-independent, comprising double wishbones, coaxial coil springs and hydraulic dampers, and anti-roll bars on both axles; four wheel vented disc brakes were also fitted. Steering was unassisted rack and pinion.
The 308's body was designed by Pininfarina's 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 with the angular GT4. GTS models featured a removable roof panel with grained satin black finish, which could be stowed in a vinyl cover behind the seats when not in use.
This stunning 308 Dry-Sump Carburettor example has an extensive Service History, with two large files, showing all the work that has been carried out.
The last Service was performed in October 2015 and included a Cambelt change, which cost £5147. The interior of the car has been re-trimmed recently, and is in stunning condition. The car was given a complete re-spray in February 2016, at a cost of £6,000 and is now superb.
The car is in exceptional condition both bodily and mechanically, and it is a pleasure to drive.
