The Appeal

A very different car for Ferrari at the time, the Dino 308 GT4 was the first mid-engined V8 road car to leave Maranello, and the only production Ferrari to wear Bertone's signature rather than Pininfarina's. Its crisp, angular lines divided opinion at launch but have aged well, and the model has cultivated a loyal following among those who value its distinctive character and the sweet-revving 3.0-litre V8 at its heart.

This 1975 example has been the subject of a thorough programme of refurbishment, with documented work carried out over a period of more than two years. Cosmetically, the bodywork has been repainted in its original colour, the wheels have been restored and painted, and the interior has been completely retrimmed in beige leather with new carpets. Mechanically, the investment has been equally broad: a new brake system with Bonaldi master cylinder and servo, new timing belts, a new radiator, overhauled carburettors, replaced fuel lines and pump, refreshed front and rear suspension, and an upgraded ignition system. The vendor describes it as a lot of fun to drive.

This Dino 308 GT4 presents beautifully in classic Rosso, its crisp Bertone wedge lines set off by five-spoke alloys and the signature black front bumper. Inside, the tan leather seats and matching carpets contrast with the black leather dashboard, and the original Veglia Borletti instruments sit behind a Dino-badged three-spoke wheel. The engine bay appears tidy and well kept, with the original airbox still in place, while the cabin’s instruments, wiper system, light and wiper switches and window mechanisms have all recently been renewed.

Power comes from a 2,926cc quad-cam V8, transversely mid-mounted and fed by four Weber carburettors, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Since July 2024, it has had a major service with new tyres, new suspension bushes and ball joints, cooling system parts, a new fuel pump and HT leads.
