History of the Marque

Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina to both replace the 206/246 Dino (of his design) and sit alongside Bertone's 308 GT4, the Ferrari 308 GTB was introduced at the 1975 Paris Motor Show.

The initial release of the 308 GTB saw Enzo Ferrari's "Carrozzeria" of choice, Sergio Scaglietti (whose business was across the road from Ferrari's Scuderia Ferrari in Trento Trieste in Modena) take the unusual step to produce the new Ferrari's body work in Vetroresina (Italian for fibreglass). This Lightweight Composite Material enabled the total weight of the 308 GTB to be just 1,050kg. This construction method marked the first time that a composite body was sold on a production Ferrari.

Underneath the Vetroresina bodywork was a Tubular chassis supporting a Mid-Mounted Transverse 2927cc V8 engine designed by Vittorio Jano, equipped with Quad Weber Carburettors and driven through a 5 speed Transaxle Gearbox

Ferrari aficionados are of the view that only 712 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina's were built with only 154 built in Right Hand Drive. Production of the 308 GTB switched to steel in late 1977.

This 1977 Rosso Corsa Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina is an exceptionally rare, Australian Delivered example in Factory Right Hand drive with a wet sump, offered only to Australia and Japan. The interior trim has been maintained to a very high standard, with the Accented Black and red seats providing a very comfortable take on the Italian "laid back" seating position.
