Ferrari 308 GTS 1980
General description :
We just got this quite superb 308 GTSi in. It has 64,800 miles on the clock and all EU import duties have been duly paid. We are tempted to say that there is no finer example than this one. The car was delivered in 1980 and has always been maintained well, to which the huge stack of bills bears testimony. A major maintenance service was carried out in 2013, which included replacing the belts. Its gorgeous leather ‘EU interior’ has a rather rare but beautiful red and black colour scheme. The previous owner, a former US Navy commander, took part in many car concourses, gaining awards and honourable mentions. The original tool kit and car jack have been preserved. Are you looking for a 308 GTS? If you are, this car is a must-see. Call us now!
Deze werkelijk puntgave 308 GTSi met 64.800 mls is zojuist bij ons binnen gekomen. Alle EU-import belastingen zijn voldaan. Wij zijn geneigd te zeggen dat een mooier exemplaar niet te vinden is. De auto werd in 1980 geleverd en altijd goed onderhouden. Dit valt op te maken uit de grote hoeveelheid rekeningen die bewaard zijn gebleven. In 2013 kreeg de auto een grote onderhoudsbeurt waarbij ook de snaren vervangen werden. Opvallend is het lederen "eu-interieur" in zwart/rood, een nogal zeldzame en prachtige combinatie. De vorige eigenaar, ex commander van de US-Navy, bezocht vele concoursen met zijn auto en won prijzen en eervolle vermeldingen. De originele toolkit en krik zijn nog bij de auto gebleven. Op zoek naar een 308 GTS? Maak een afspraak, deze auto is beslist het bekijken waard!

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.
