1979 Ferrari 308 GTB

The Ferrari 308 GTB is a true icon of its era, produced between 1975 and 1985, and remains one of the most recognisable Ferraris ever built. With its timeless Pininfarina design, Scaglietti construction, and beautifully balanced mid-engine layout, the 308 GTB perfectly captures the magic of late-1970s and early-1980s Italian motoring.

This example is powered by the celebrated 2.9-litre carburetted V8, paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox, offering the kind of mechanical, engaging driving experience that modern cars simply cannot replicate. Adding further appeal, this is a carburettor model with dry sump lubrication, a specification highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Finished in Argento Silver, this 308 GTB presents a striking alternative to the more commonly seen Rosso Red cars, giving it a subtle but undeniably elegant presence. Inside, the Black and Blue interior provides a distinctive and attractive contrast to the silver exterior.

We understand that the car has been well maintained, including a full engine rebuild at 87 000 km, as well as a cambelt service completed in 2025 by a reputable service centre. These are important points in the ownership and upkeep of a classic Ferrari such as this.

The Ferrari 308 GTB is more than just a collectible, it is a driver’s car, a rolling piece of art, and an unmistakable symbol of the Ferrari legend. From the sound of its V8 to the raw, analogue feel from behind the wheel, this is the kind of classic that captivates every time you drive it.

A rare opportunity to own a truly desirable carburetted Ferrari icon on auction day.
