Ferrari 208 GTB Turbo GTB. This was the Italian version of the 308 1982
General description :
The Ferrari 208 has an identical body to a 308. However, since the tax in Italy was very high on car over 2l, Ferrari decided to make this special version for the Italian market. And, there were only 140 cars like this built!
Exterior: Very nice paint, very straight car with good panel fit. Doors close perfectly. All glass and rubber details are in very good condition. Very sharp looking car from the outside with original low spoiler in the front. And, this was the first year for Ferrari 208 to put the 16” wheels on these cars and they give the car a much better look and ride in comparison to the earlier 15” wheels. Very good tyres in correct size for the car.
Interior: The Ferrari 208 has a super nice interior with the original leather seats in great condition. All chrome details inside the car are in perfect condition and everything works. Nice with the original AC for the hot summer days. Also, the trunk space is in perfect original condition and even the zipper works. There is also a handmade special cover for the car when you leave it for the winter or anytime you want to protect this beauty from dust.
Ferrari 208 and 308 came in the footsteps of the 246 Dino
Engine: Ferrari 208 has a very nice sound on this all original engine fuelled by 4 Weber carburettors. Belts were changed two years ago and the car has not been driven many kilometres since. Perfect gearbox and the second gear goes in easily and without grinding. The engine bay looks very clean and tidy.
History: Just like all of the cars, it was sold new in Italy, later found its way to Belgium where I bought the car. It comes with the original handbook and service book. Also, original tools and spare wheel. There is no doubt a Ferrari 308 has more horsepower than this car. However, if you have limited budget, you are much better off buying a proper, well maintained, original 208 than getting a ratty 308 that will cost you a fortune to bring back.
Also in stock a F355 Challenge

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
