1975 FERRARI DINO 308 GT4 63k MILES MOT & TAX EXEMPT ULEZ COMPLIANT
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE JUST TAKEN IN THIS OUTSTANDING CLASSIC 1975 308 GT4 DINO INTO OUR SHOWROOM. THIS IS A GENUINE UK RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE.
AN EYE CATCHING MASTERPIECE BERTONE DESIGNED FERRARI. THIS DINO PRESENTS BEAUTIFULLY IN ITS ROSSO RED PAINTWORK, SET OFF AGAINST THE RECENTLY RE UPHOLSTERED CONNOLLY INTERIOR THAT LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE NEW INSIDE.
THE 2+2 COUPE IS POWERED BY THE FERRARI TRANSVERSLEY MID MOUNTED 3 LITRE V8, MATCHED TO A 5 SPEED OPEN GATED MANUAL GEARBOX. FIRST GEAR OF COURSE, BEING A DOG LEG CONFIGURATION. THE PREVIOUS KEEPER OF THIS CAR HAD IT FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND WAS AN ENGINEER SPECIALISING IN CLASSIC AND RALLY CARS WITH MORE THAN 40 YEARS IN THE INDUSTRY.
THIS DINO IS THEREFORE ALSO IN FANTASTIC MECHANICAL WORKING ORDER, STARTING ON FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. OUT ON THE ROAD, THIS DELIGHTFUL FERRARI REALLY COMES INTO ITS OWN. GEAR CHANGES ARE SMOOTH WITH THAT EVER ADDICTIVE CLICKING OF THE SHIFTER THROUGH THE OPEN METAL GATED BOX. LIKE ALL FERRARIS THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST NOTE ARE TO DIE FOR. HANDLING IS FIRM, YET COMFORTABLE AND YOU COULD EASILY TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES IN WHAT COULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED A FINE GT CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HUGE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENTS UP FRONT AND INDEED TO THE REAR.
BEING A 1975 YEAR OF PRODUCTION IT NOW HAS THE ENVIOUS POSITION OF BEING BOTH MOT AND TAX EXEMPT, NOT TO FORGET BEING ULEZ COMPLIANT! WHIST BEING MOT EXPEMPT, WE CONSIDER IT PRUDENT TO HAVE AN ANNUAL MOT TEST CARRIED OUT WHICH HAS JUST BEEN DONE ON THE 23RD OCTOBER 2024 PASSING WITH ZERO ADVISORIES!!
IT HAS ALSO BEEN RUN THROUGH OUR WORKSHOP HAVING BEEN GIVEN A FRESH SERVICE READY FOR THE NEW OWNER TO TAKE TO THE ROADS. IT WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL FERRARI WALLET, THE DINO GT4 HANDBOOK, LOTS OF INVOICES FOR WORK CARRIED OUT OVER THE YEARS, OLD MOT CERTIFICATES AND OLD TAX DISCS.
HPI CLEAR.
DESPITE BEING ONE OF THE LESS FAMOUS PRANCING HORSES, THE 308 GT4 WAS A CAR OF MANY FIRSTS FOR THE COMPANY, INCLUDING THE FIRST PRODUCTION MODEL TO USE A MID ENGINED V8 LAY OUT. A CONFIGIRATION THAT WOULD BECOME A CORNERSTONE OF THEIR RANGE RIGHT THROUGH TO THE VERY DAY. IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST MODEL TO BE STYLED BY BERTONE, RATHER THAN THE PININFARINA DESIGN HOUSE THAT HAD ALREADY BECOME SYNONYMOUS WITH FERRARI BY THE 1970s.
IN SUMMARY, THIS IS A DELIGHTFUL HISTORIC FERRARI THAT PRESENTS VERY WELL INDEED. IT WOULD MAKE A VERY WELCOME ADDITION TO A FERRARI COLLECTION OR INDEED BE USED AS A UNIQUE FUN SUMMER CLASSIS CAR. ONE THING IS FOR SURE THAT IT WILL TURN PLENTY OF HEADS WITH ADMIRING GLANCES AND THE OCCASIONAL WAVE OF APPRECIATION.
WE ARE HAPPY TO CONSIDER ALL PART EXCHANGES AND FREE UK MAINLAND DELIVERY IS INCLUDED IN THE ASKING PRICE. WE ARE ALSO HAPPY TO COLLECT YOU FROM LOCAL TRAIN STATIONS OR AIRPORTS.
