Selling or Buying a Ferrari 308 GTS?

The Ferrari 308 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as the successor to the Ferrari Dino 246. The GTS (S stands for Spyder) was introduced in 1977 and just over 12,000 examples were made. In 1985, the newer Ferrari 328 replaced the Ferrari 308. The Ferrari 308 was designed by the famous Fioravanti at Pininfarina, and was powered by a 3-Liter V8 engine, making it an iconic sports car of the 1980s. The Ferrari 308 GTS can be divided in three variants: the first models produced between 1976 and 1979 boasted more aggressive cams and no emissions equipment, the second generation called Ferrari 308 GTSi (from 1980 to 1982) were fitted with Bosch fuel injection and the final Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole (QV) introduced four-valve heads. Based on a relatively short chassis, this two-seat, mid-engine convertible is a thrilling classic Ferrari to drive and a pleasure to look at.
