About this car

This 1979 308 GTB is a dry-sump, carburettor car with steel bodywork, a combination many regard as the sweet spot of the 308 range. It is a Maranello UK-supplied right-hand-drive example, and the dealer says only 211 dry-sump cars were built in that configuration.

The car has just come out of a restoration lasting more than six years, carried out by the selling dealer. The bodywork has been fully restored and the interior retrimmed in Crema leather with black inlays, along with a new headliner, black carpets and a black dash. The colour is Rosso Corsa.

It comes with a photographic record of the restoration, more than 30 years of history, the original sales documents and the current owner's invoices. A new MOT is in place. No mileage is given on the page.
