Ferrari 308 Quattrovalvole

The Quattrovalvole is generally rated the pick of the 308 range: four-valve heads on the 3.0-litre mid-mounted V8 added power over the earlier two-valve cars, and the Pininfarina coupe shape carried on unchanged. This one is a US-market car, quoted at 230 horsepower, with Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection and a manual gearbox.

It was supplied new in Pennsylvania in 1984 and came to the UK in 2016, where it has had one registered keeper. Ferrari has confirmed by email that it is a matching-numbers car. The paintwork has been taken back to bare metal and refinished in black, with photographs of the work, and the interior has been retrimmed in tan to original specification.

Mechanical work since import is backed by invoices, and the car comes with its original book pack and a service book dating back to 1988. The page quotes 15,977 miles in its key details, although the description text mentions 25,744 miles, so the odometer reading is worth confirming with the dealer.
