Relisted : Buyers spouse disagreed about need for another Italian in the family.
“The Ferrari is a dream – people dream of owning this special vehicle and for most people it will remain a dream apart from those lucky few” – Enzo Ferrari
The 308 Quattrovalvole model was introduced in 1983 and adopted a 32-valve cylinder head. It features a 240 bhp, 2, 926 cc DOHC 32-valve 90-degree V-8 engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission with a clutch-type limited slip differential, independent front and rear A-arm suspension with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers, 16 inch Speedline wheels and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes.
Other changes for this model included a rear spoiler and additional louvers between the headlamps to aid with cooling. It was offered in both a coupe version and as an open-air model, the GTS, which boasted a targa-style removable roof panel that could be stowed behind the rear seats when not in use. Just 3, 042 Spyders would be produced during its three-year model run. The 308 is most notable for playing a starring role in the 80's TV show Magnum, P.I. with actor Tom Selleck behind the wheel.
The factory yellow with tan interior color combination on this example is extremely rare. The paint looks fantastic and the leather interior is in excellent shape considering its age. The audio system has been upgraded with the stock Alpine unit available at buyer’s request. Aesthetically, the car is stunning to look at and its visual condition is simply breathtaking. The GTS version of the Ferrari 308 features a targa top that can easily be removed by a single person.
As expected, the car is garage kept and has an extensively documented service history. The service history along with parts, workshop and original owners manuals are included in the sale. The vehicle has been meticulously maintained and serviced regularly; with its most recent major service in August of 2012. The attention to detail taken during its servicing is clearly evident in the firm ride, strong engine and throaty rumble from the Stebro exhaust.
