The Appeal
The Ferrari 308 GTS is one of the most recognisable Ferraris ever produced - pure automotive poetry from bumper to bumper, with Pininfarinas fluid lines and unmistakable silhouette moulding around one of the marques most reputed V8 powerplants. Slicked back, proudly carrying pop-up headlights and loaded with charismatic - almost unbeaten - character. To this day, its cars like this that come to mind when one thinks of the Maranello pony.
This particular 1979 example is reportedly a 100% original 308 GTS with no modifications. Acquired by the current keeper in September 2024, the car has benefited from a major service including replacement of the timing belts and repair of all engine oil leaks. The vendor reports that the car now drives very well with stable road holding and the blistering performance youd expect.

The 308 GTS is beyond a handsome car. Every inch of it has been penned to evoke speed and sleek, subtle rebellion. From the pop-up headlights and swept-back streamlining to the Targa top panels, its a beautifully considered design thats stood the test of time.
This one manages to hold its own very well for its years - the bodywork appears solid and well-kept, benefiting from a history of dry storage, while the paintwork carries only age-commensurate wear. The pop-ups are lifting correctly, the alloys present well and the interior is in very good order throughout.
Instruments are clean and legible, the dash is as it should be and the upholstery carries only age-commensurate sag and creasing, evoking a very stylish, attractive patina.
