Ferrari 328 GTS 3.2 GTS 2DR 1989
General description :
This stunning example of the Ferrari 328GTS was manufactuered in September 1989, G Registered. Finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema Hide. This truly is a great investment opportunity with a mere 284 Miles (458km) which still currently has the delivery stickers on the front drivers side wheel and spare wheel. This has 2 owner + 1 UK Owners that has not registered the car in his name.
Supplied new by SA.MO.CAR S.p.a. of Rome, this exceptional 328 GTS is understood to have changed hands immediately thereafter for twice its list price such was the `gold fever' surrounding Maranello's more sought after models in the late 1980s! Unfortunately, the following decade brought with it a global recession which decimated values. Rather than face a sizeable loss, the Ferrari's second owner chose to place it into professional storage. Fast forward twenty-four years, and with prices back at pre-crash levels, he had the two-seater recommissioned by Ferrari Rome before selling it to the vendor. Forming part of a significant private collection since then, chassis 81550 is warranted to have covered just 455km (283 miles) from new. A true `time warp', the 328 GTS still has delivery stickers affixed to its driver's side front and spare wheels. Both inner sills carry plastic protective covers and the internal trunking which draws air from the side vents to the engine has yet to discolour. As well as its original tool kit, jack and Goodyear tyres, the Ferrari boasts a spare bulb kit, torch and Prancing Horse logoed Red bag.
Understandably described by the seller as `nigh on as new', this is the lowest mileage 328 GTS we have encountered. A worthy addition to any serious marque collection, chassis 81550 has recently been entrusted to Dick Lovett Ltd for a £5,000 cambelt service and brake overhaul etc should a new owner wish to have some appreciation for what it would have felt to drive a `showroom fresh' Ferrari thirty years ago!

The Ferrari 328 GTB and GTS (Type F106) was the successor to the Ferrari 308 GTB and GTS. While largely based on the 308 GTB and GTS respectively, small modifications were made to the body style and engine, including an increase in engine displacement to 3.2 L (3185 cc). 7,400 Ferrari 328s were produced by the time the model was replaced by the new 348 in 1989, bringing the total for the 308/328 generation to nearly 20,000. The 328 is considered by some Ferrari enthusiasts to be one of the most reliable Ferraris; unlike some models, most engine maintenance can be performed without lowering the engine from the vehicle.
The GTB referred to the Gran Turismo Berlinetta (coupé) body while the GTS was a Gran Turismo Spider (targa top). In 1985, the 328 retailed from £43,999.37
The 328 GTS model, together with the fixed roof 328 GTB, were the final developments of the normally aspirated transverse V8 engine 2-seat series. The 328 figures in the model title referred to the total cubic capacity of the engine, 3.2 litres, and 8 for the number of cylinders. The new model was introduced at the 1985 Frankfurt Salon alongside the Mondial 3.2 series.

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.
