Lot number: 227
1985 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole Targa Top RHD 1985 With 1985 being the last year of production for Ferraris glorious 308 GTS this first registered in February 1985 example must be one of the last Right Hand Drive cars registered.
With only a genuine 75000 miles on the clock and complete with a folder full of service history this car has been exceptionally well looked after throughout its life. Unfortunately and very much the way of the world today some person decided to dent some of the body work in a vandal attack. The damage was very light and although no panels were replaced as the car was repaired under insurance it is now listed as having had a Category D cosmetic damage only claim against it! The car now is back in its beautiful preclaim condition.
Mechanically its 2.9 litre V8 Multi Valve engine and manual gearbox are both in excellent fettle with bills for a gearbox rebuild ( 4500) and a full service including the allimportant belts (8500 at Reg Vardy) included in the history file.
This cars fantastic spec includes a lovely cream leather interior with red piping including leather door cards further complemented by red carpets and to finish off the desirable Targa top roof panels and GTO split rim alloy wheels.
With prices of other Right Hand Drive cars on the market today approaching the 100000 mark the vendor feels that his lower reserve more than allows for the insurance claim considering the cars condition spec and history file. He will also be placing a new MOT on the car prior to the auction.
