Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

2927/255hp, four Webers, 5-speed, Cromodora alloy wheels, Vredestein tires, Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, tool kit.

Condition

US market car. The speedo was replaced a t 43,000 miles with a metric one that now shows 4,275 km (2,656 miles). Also has Euro spec bumpers and grille. Recent servicing including timing belt and water pump, starter, brakes and alternator. Shiny repaint but there are a few chips in the headlight doors. The rear got crunched lightly at one point as well, with a cracked dent at the back of the engine cover, a small dent on the tail and a small scrape on the rear bumper. Cracked seats and worn switchgear. Tired wheels with light dings and scrapes. A rough car by Ferrari standards and even by 308 standards, but presentable and at least it has been recently serviced.

Market commentary

While not the kind of 308 you fall in love with, it sold reasonably well at no reserve despite its numerous issues and no definition of how "recent" the service was.
