This Ferrari 308 GTB is one of the rare and sought-after examples with fibreglass bodywork, which was a big first for a road car from Ferrari. These models were from the start of production, from 1975–1977, and, according to some sources, only 808 such cars were built before the production costs prompted the company to switch to steel bodies, adding about 30kg to the weight of the car. This 308 GTB in particular, a dry-sump version, is in unusually good condition for a model which has often aged badly. Sold new in France by Charles Pozzi, it was finished in Argento Auteuil with a Nero interior; it was later restored by Philippe Gardette of Auvergne Moteurs, a specialist workshop with an excellent reputation, who maintained the car regularly and with evident care, as can be seen from the set of bills from 2004–13 for a total of more than 61,000 €.

The car comes with a certificate of conformity issued by Ferrari West Europe in 2009, as well as a duplicate service book and, above all, its Ferrari Classiche certification file, which specifies that the chassis, engine and transmission are completely original.

The care lavished on this car is borne out by its condition, with none of the cracks in the paint often seen on fibreglass bodies, and a magnificent black leather interior showing only the slightest signs of wear. This 308 GTB is equipped with air-conditioning and its Momo steering wheel has been re-covered.

A high-quality example backed up by a substantial set of maintenance bills, this car will not leave fans of the model unmoved.
