1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi

October 1975, saw the debut at the Paris Motor Show of the most successful shape ever to wear the Cavallino Rampante emblem, the Ferrari 308. Over 20,000 examples of all engine types and sizes were produced from 1975-1989. This new car was constructed on a traditional steel tube chassis, but its beautiful body was firstly manufactured in GRP and then after two years, Scaglietti started making GTBs in steel. The 3-litre, four-cam V8 was more or less unchanged until March 1981 when Bosch fuel injection was added in place of the 4 double-choke Webers, although the final drive was altered on these cars to give similar acceleration to a carburettor car. Both versions have their supporters, but the 308 is generally accepted as one of Ferrari's all-time greatest road cars and prices are most definitely on the rise.

This left-hand drive 308 GTSi was sold new in Italy and is finished in Black with a Tan leather interior. The second owner, a company based in Roma used the car for display purposes, explaining why it remains relatively unused and why the mileage is so low. The car has been painted at some point during its life, and now presents really well looking exceptionally sharp in gleaming black.

Our vendor purchased the car in 2014 when it had covered a mere 10,010km, and like his other Ferraris, this went to trusted specialists, DK Engineering to have a full recommission carried out. The engine was taken out, the engine bay detailed, and the car fully serviced at considerable cost.

Supplied with an MoT until 1st August '16 and a solid history file, this beautiful looking 308 GTSi is now showing only 10,561km on the odometer and represents a chance to own a very low mileage Ferrari which has benefitted from a full recommission. In fabulous condition throughout, you'd be wise not to miss this Prancing Horse.

**Please note the vendor is in the process of removing a cherished registration plate from the car with the DVLA issuing a date-correct registration in due course**
