1981 Ferrari 308 GTS

The Ferrari 308 GTS is one of the true pop-culture icons of the 1980s, forever linked to Tom Selleck and Magnum P.I. For many, this is the Ferrari shape they picture first, although it is often mistaken for its successor, the 328 GTS. Penned by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, the 308 remains one of the cleanest and most recognisable Ferrari designs ever produced.

But enough about the legend, let’s talk about the car at hand.

This 1981 Ferrari 308 GTS, finished in classic Corsa Red, is powered by a 2.9-litre transversely mounted mid-engine V8, paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It delivers the kind of balanced, mechanical driving experience that made these cars so special in period and still makes them such a thrill today. From the sound of the V8 to the open-gated feel of the manual gearbox, the 308 GTS is a car that begs to be driven, whether carving through a mountain pass or simply turning heads on a Sunday cruise.

Adding to its appeal, this example shows a very attractive 51 763 km on the clock, making it a low-mileage example of an already highly desirable Ferrari icon. Beyond the styling and soundtrack, we understand that it has been well maintained by its collector owner and is accompanied by service records to support its history.

The Ferrari 308 GTS is not just a collectible Italian classic, it is a charismatic driver’s car, a design icon, and a machine that still captures attention everywhere it goes. Finished in red, roof panel removed, and with that unmistakable Ferrari V8 behind you, this is the kind of car that makes every drive feel like an occasion.
