The Ferrari 308 was released at the Paris Auto Show in 1975 as a successor to the very successful 246 Dino. The 308 was the very first mid-engine v8 powered production Ferrari, which seems to have been a good formula as they are still using it on their road cars today. The 308 lasted all the way until 1985, undergoing a few changes throughout its life cycle. The early cars were carbureted 2 valve 3. 0 v8s. In 1980, they went to a Bosch Fuel Injection system to meet emissions requirements, which unfortunately lowered the power output. However, in 1982 they released the 308 “qauttrovalvole” which translates to “four valve”. This bumped the power output back up to 240bhp but now with the reliability and ease of fuel injection.
Presented here is a single owner car. It is only sporting 17k miles on the odometer. The interior of this car has been maintained meticulously. Seat covers have lived over the seats for most of their lives so the leather exhibits no cracking or wear. They are in beautiful condition and are still soft and supple. The carpets are in excellent condition, as well as all the other materials present in the cabin. Under the bonnet lives the original spare tire , along with the plastic cover, still completely intact. Even the vinyl cover over the rear trunk is completely intact and functioning, a rare sight for a 308 nowadays.
In the engine bay lives the original 3. 0 v8, in very original condition. It just underwent a major service, including cam belts and a water pump, so it is ready to take you wherever you need without leaving you stranded. Turn the key and the v8 lights right up. The gearbox clicks right into gear as you would expect it to. The car drives beautifully, without any weird squeaks or rattles to be heard. While 17k miles is quite low for one of these cars, it really drives and presents itself as if it has even lower mileage. This could be a great car for someone to drive or take to shows as it is in excellent condition, mechanically and cosmetically.
