Fully restored, Marone Mettallizzatto, one of the last carb cars

A beautifully presented and highly desirable Ferrari 308 GTS, finished in the rare and elegant Marone Metallizzato, with a matching interior trim scheme that gives this car a wonderfully period and sophisticated appearance.

This particular example is especially significant as one of the final carburettor 308 GTS models produced before the introduction of the fuel injected models, which until the Quattrovalvole, were sadly devoid of power making the early carburettor cars a standard for the purist

Making this version one of the last of the more evocative and characterful early carburetted cars.

Originally supplied new to Italy, this 308 remains true to its origins and comes with Italian classic car validation. It was subsequently acquired from Italy and is today offered with either EU registration or UK registration, buyer choice!

Importantly, the car benefits from Ferrari Classiche certification, adding another important layer of reassurance and collectability. It also retains a number of desirable factory details, including TRX tyres and factory air conditioning, both increasingly sought-after features on an early 308.

At the time of purchase, the car had just undergone substantial restorative works, including new paint, a new leather interior, new carpets, and a rebuilt engine and gearbox. The result is a car that presents extremely well, with the added benefit of major expenditure already having been undertaken.

In fact the last owner, a long term customer of ours, has used the Ferrari rather just admiring her in his motor house!

Trips to various car events and also a successful foray to Le Mans, with camping gear in the boot !!

Having the drive train rebuilt has obviously helped here, and when collecting her from Gloucestershire it has to be said, she is one of the most accelerative we've had the pleasure of running through her gears

With 24,000 km recorded, (looking at the history this is 124.000kms - 78.750 miles only) this is a rare opportunity to acquire an early Ferrari 308 GTS of excellent specification, strong provenance and highly attractive colour combination. The matching interior and exterior colour scheme, together with its Classiche status, Italian delivery and final-series carburettor configuration, make this a particularly compelling example.

This stylish, usable and increasingly collectible Ferrari offering a combination of rarity, usability and collector appeal that is becoming increasingly hard to find, from one of Maranello's most iconic eras.
