Description
A 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi, registration plate RTT 748W. Right hand drive. The 308 replaced the 246 Dino in 1975 as Ferraris mid-engined sports car. It was in production until 1985 when superseded by the 328 which was the last car of this iconic shape. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina (who was also responsible for the Ferrari Daytona) it was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 and still today it is recognised as one of Ferraris most celebrated shapes. Fitted with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection the 308 GTSi, produced 235 hp slightly less than the earlier carburettor cars. Decreasing emissions was a necessary requirement as regulations changed worldwide, especially the largest market, the USA. The 2. 9Ltr V8 engine was coupled with a 5 speed all synchromesh gearbox propelling the car to in excess of 155 MPH with 0-60 times of 7. 8 seconds. The Spider version car notable with its removable hard top, was made famous, not just by its track prowess but by the US TV detective series Magnum P. I. as driven by Tom Selleck, who had a number of the evolving models including the GTSi in the TV programme. Original upholstery. This Ferrari has recently been resprayed and has had an extensive mechanical overhaul costing approximately £31, 000 in total. Milage 57, 500.
