The 308 model's lineage began in 1973 with the Dino GT/4 model. Powered by a new 3 litre 90 degree V8, the Dino was designed by Bertone and although it had all of the expected preformance, the unconventional looks and lack of 'Ferrari' on the badge limited its appeal. However, that all changed in 1975 when the engine finally found its way into a Pininfarina masterpiece - the 308GTB / GTS. Sharing some visual similarities with the contemporary, flat-12 powered 365GT/4 BB, the new 308 was designed to appeal to a wider audience and saw Ferrari achieve sales that they could previously only have dreamed of. Such was the model's timeless appeal that it remained in production for a full ten years with only minor mechanical updates before receiving a facelift to become the 328 which would survive for another 5 years.

This fabulous 308 was delivered new in Brescia, Italy, to Mr. Giovanni Bresciani. In 1984 it was sold to Mr. Angelo Cacciamali who owned it for one year then sold it to Mr. Cesare Zini. He owned the car from 1985 until 2009 then dealer Maranello Service srl sold it to the fourth owner who registered it in the name of his company, Agora srl. Another dealer, GPS Classic, bought the car in 2014 and sold it to the last owner; an American who used the car for a driving holiday in Europe before shipping it back to the States. We purchased the car from this American gentleman.
GPS Classic carried out a major service, including belts, for the last owner when he bought the car and also did some work on it before it was shipped to America. They also obtained the Classiche documents for him and these confirm that this is the original colour and specification. Since we got the car to the UK we have had the steering rack rebuilt and replaced the front wheel bearings. Unfortunately the book pack has gone missing at some stage so there is no earlier history. Current mileage displayed is just over 16,000km. The car is in stunning condition throughout and drives superbly.
The DB5 was essentially the next generation of the very successful DB4 with many improvements particularly in power, with the new 4.0 litre version of the Tadek Marek 6 cyl engine developing 280 bhp.
A new 5 speed gearbox and much improved brakes along with many other refinements made this a superb sports car at the time. Introduced in the summer of 1963, only 898 saloon cars and a mere 123 convertibles were built until October 1965, when production was given over to the DB6. The DB5 remains one of the most Iconic sports cars of all time!
This wonderful, original Super specification 356 has spent its whole life in California and more recently Nevada. As confirmed by the Factory Certificate of Authenticity, it was delivered new in its current colour combination of black paintwork with black interior trim, a rare combination at the time. It was also fitted with the chrome wheel option from new. Correct Hella spotlights adorn the nose of the car, whilst the interior boasts original headrests and a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel.
