1975 Ferrari 308 GT4 Series 2

Highlights

Low mileage car with lots of history
Classic Rosso Red paintwork
One of only 547 RHD cars
Engine rebuilt with photographic record
Tidy and very usable car

The Appeal

The 308 was a very different sort of Ferrari. It borrowed the Dino’s 2+2 layout but clothed in a crisp Bertone design that cleverly resolved the competing demands of four seats and a mid-engined layout.

Only 547 genuine factory RHD cars were built and this is one of the last, a revised Series 2 car with updated aesthetics. Now finished in classic Rosso Red with a distinctive blue velour interior, it comes to market with a vast history file that includes photographic records of a comprehensive engine rebuild.

The car has been carefully dry stored in recent years and is said to run and drive well, but will need a check over and major service prior to any long drive. Interest in the handsome 308 GT4 is on the rise and this very rare, genuine factory RHD example looks like a good base for investment.
