Further info:
Introduced at the 1975 Earls Court Motor Fair, the Pininfarina-bodied 308 GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) featured a removable 'targa' roof panel that stowed neatly behind the seats. Utilising a subtly strengthened version of the GTB's tubular spaceframe chassis, the newcomer employed the same all-round independent double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Powered by Maranello's magnificent 'quad-cam' 2926cc V8 engine mated to five-speed manual transmission, the 308 GTS was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.7 seconds and 150mph.
This right-hand drive example carburettor model has been in the current ownership some twenty years during which time it has spent a period in storage in the South of France. Recent recommissioning work includes a repaint in blue whilst the belts are expected to have been replaced by the time of sale. Fitted with Compomotive alloys, the car registers some 45,000 miles and is offered with a Swansea V5, partial history. It is expected to possess a new MoT in time for the sale. Described as having "good", bodywork, paintwork and engine, the cream leather has been connolised.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
