Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Poor old clearcoat repaint with too many cracks, chips and scuffs to recount. Sound original upholstery, worn steering wheel rim leather and scraped dashtop edge. peeling driver's windshield post base. Old undercoat peeling off in the wheelwells. A highly disappointing, neglected old Ferrari.
Market commentary
The bidders were not, for all the right reasons, taken by this neglected old Vetroresina 308 GTB, but their reticence brought the successful bidder an unusually good value in a rare and distinctive Ferrari. It's a frog, but some well-placed kisses could make it prince-like although had it been presented dusty, dirty and bird poo-covered it might have brought a barn-find premium. Collectors' motivations are sometimes hard to fathom.
