Description:
Russell Smith, service manager at independent Ferrari specialists Bob Houghton Ltd on the Ferrari 308 GTB dry sump, carburettor. "The early carburettor car is probably the one to have,’ he says. ‘Yes, they’re slightly more temperamental and they need regular tuning, but they are the purest and the most powerful. The first is always the best".
This 109,000-mile example offered for sale by The Archive is one of only 211 RHD dry-sump 308s. This 'Matching numbers' example in Dino Blue, with Beige hide and black carpets received the factory optioned air conditioning.
This 308 has undergone a full mechanical and body restoration which was recently concluded by Carrozzeria, the official Ferrari panel shop for Southern Africa. Restoration included an engine refresh, suspension, and an interior & glass out repaint. All chassis, brakes, and suspension parts were completely rebuilt and re-finished, all seals and bushings renewed together with a huge amount of detailed work to all components of the car. All five magnesium-alloy Cromodora wheels are included and the car has since been fitted with larger diameter period correct alloys. The detail was always very important with the finish of this Ferrari. Full detailed invoicing of all work done is in the history file, including a photographic journal showing the extent of the work carried out. This 308 GTB and its comprehensive restoration had been intended for long-term ownership, but a change of circumstances means this fantastic example is now available. A rare opportunity to own a properly prepared and preserved dry sump, carburettor car with a fantastic pedigree.
