1985 (C) Ferrari 308 GTS QV

An undeniably spectacular Ferrari 308 QuatroValvole GTS finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema leather and Bordeaux carpets, this car is exceptional in every respect and has a warranted mileage of a mere 24k miles with only 2 two former keepers

Delivered new by Lancaster Ferrari Colchester in September 1985, this UK-delivered RHD car is one of only 233 cars built for the UK, and was highly optioned with the desirable deep front spoiler, rear aerofoil spoiler, and factory-fitted air conditioning.

The exemplary condition of this car has to be seen to be appreciated. The paintwork is as perfect as can be - both blemish and stone chip free. The alloy wheels are in great condition, and the period correct tyres have good tread.

Move to the interior and the Crema leather is in superb condition, the dashboard presents as new with no pitting to the switchgear, and even the piping on the carpets show no signs of cracking.

The service history and supporting documentation for the car is also exceptional.

Between 1985 and 2000, the car was serviced 14 times before being bought by a renowned collector in Ireland, where it was kept off-the-road as part of his large static collection, which is evidenced by the car never having been MOT’d during his 20 years of ownership. The car was then purchased by its current owner in 2020 and returned back to the UK, where it immediately underwent an extensive mechanical recommission with marque specialist Barr-Tech of Cambridge, at a cost of £5k.

Accompanying the car is everything a Ferrari buyer should demand - tool roll, jack, its original stereo head unit, the original Ferrari wallet that holds the owner’s manuals and the stamped service book, a vast history file containing many historic receipts and invoices, previous MOT certificates, and a plethora of other documents - even down to the original purchase invoice, making this late Ferrari 308 QV GTS a very special car indeed.

So good is this car, it really is a struggle to use too many superlatives, and it offers the opportunity to own a Ferrari poster-car in amazing condition that is mechanically sorted and ready to be enjoyed.

It will be supplied with two sets of keys, a 12-month market-leading extendable warranty, and prior to release, will be subjected to our rigorous Pre-Delivery Inspection, given a 12-month no-advisory MOT and a full oil and cambelt service.
