Lot 126: Ferrari 328GTS

The Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a supplement to the odd Bertone-shaped Dino 308 GT4 and a replacement for the 246 Dino. Unlike the plain 2+2 GT4, the GTB was a 2-seater with aggressive lines, and has been called one of the most beautiful of all Ferraris. The Targa topped 308GTS was made famous on the Magnum P.I. television show. A notable aspect of the early 308 GTB was that, although still built by Carrozzeria Scaglietti, the 308's bodywork was entirely made of fiberglass . This lasted until June, 1977, when the 308 was switched to steel. The 328 replaced the 308 in 1985. The new car had the 3186cc V8 which increase bhp to 270 at 7000 rpm, increased the top speed to 160mph and resulted in a sub 6 second dash to 60mph. This was achieved by increasing both bore and stroke. With a mere 47,000 miles on the odometer, this Ferrari is hardly used. It is complete with extensive history and a number of previous MoT certificates. It is finished in the definitive Rosso Corsa with Crema leather, has the Targa top, air con, electric windows, the correct alloy road wheels and is described as being in very good condition throughout.
