 1981 FERRARI 308 GTS
Registration No: RFX 199W
Chassis No: 31447
Engine No: TBC
Guide Price:£35,000 - £42,000

• European-spec, left-hand drive, delivered new to Holland in January 1981 and imported into the UK in 1997
• Beautifully presented in, perhaps, the most desirable colour scheme of Rosso Corsa with Nero leather and Nero carpets
• Detailed history folder with original book packs and service book stamped up-to-date supported by a wealth of invoices
• Ideal for the holiday home, export, entry-level enthusiast or maybe a stablemate for other classic sports cars

The 308 GTB was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1975 as a direct replacement for the Dino 246. Designed by Pininfarina with sweeping curves and aggressive lines, the 308 has gone on to become one of the most recognised Ferraris of all time. Fitted with a 2.9 litre DOHC V8 engine fed by four Webber 40DCNF Carburettors, the power output of 255bhp was sufficient to propel the 308 from 0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 159 mph. In 1980, the decision was taken to replace the carburettors with fuel injection, unfortunately reducing the engine output from 255 to 214 bhp, meaning that the earlier carburettor cars, like this one, are significantly quicker. The 308 was manufactured in both GTB and GTS (Spider) forms from 1977 to 1985, before being replaced by the 328. In hindsight, connoisseurs of Ferrari from this era consider the version to have is a Euro-spec, steel-bodied car with a dry sump and carburettors, which is exactly what we have offered here.

This left-hand drive Ferrari 308 GTS was delivered new to Amsterdam on the 2^nd of January 1981 in arguably the most sought after colour combination of Rosso Corsa (red) paint with Nero (black) leather seating and black carpets. It’s currently showing 125,234 km on the odometer which equates to little over 78,000 miles in total, supported by the original service book stamped up-to-date. Clearly, this example has been lavished with attention since arriving in the UK in 1997 visiting highly regarded marque specialists for maintenance and service work as detailed in a number of invoices found within the history folder. Most recently, this 308 visited QV London for an annual service including all fluids and some general repair work at 124,984 km and is offered with the original book pack, Ferrari sales literature, a history folder including old MOTs, a wealth of invoices and a clean MOT expiring on 12 August 2020.

This handsome, steel-bodied 308 GTS offered at a realistic guide, in good colours with a detailed history file, represents superb value in our opinion and a left-hand drive example could turn out to be an astute purchase with a wide market of potential buyers when the time comes to sell. In the meantime, enjoy classic Ferrari ownership with a lively V8 behind you and the wind in your hair.

1981 VOLVO 343DL

Registration No:UVC 416X

Chassis No: 0630396

Engine No: 14201007098

Colour: Blue

Estimate: £3,000 - £3,500

 

Launched in 1976, the Volvo 300 Series hatchback came about when Volvo took over the car division of Dutch manufacturer DAF in 1973.
DAF had been working on the car, known as Project P900, since 1970 and Volvo did a lot more work to bring it up to the standard that they required, particularly the crash safety aspect which has always been the Swedish company’s top selling point. The first 343 models were powered by a 1.4 Renault Cleon-Fonte engine which produced 70bhp and drove the rear wheels through either a CVT automatic or a 4-speed manual gearbox which was mounted in unit with the rear axle for optimum weight distribution.
Despite the rather ‘geriatric’ image the 300 Series gained over the years, it was actually a surprisingly good car, a fair few being campaigned on rallies in Sweden, a specially prepared one even winning the European Rallycross Championship in 1980.
Supplied by Ring of Bells Garage of Solihull in October 1981, this Volvo 343DL manual has had just one lady owner from new and has covered only 19,143 miles in its 38 years to date, the lady taking it to Taunton when she moved there in 1983. It has an impressive service history comprising 11 stamps in the book, the last at 18,773 miles in October 2001 (equating to one service every 1,700 miles), since when it has barely gone anywhere other than annual trips to the MOT station.
In storage since 2014, it received attention to the brakes in June 2018 to get it through the MOT which it passed with no advisories and is due to have a new MOT in time for the sale. It also comes with the original handbook, a workshop manual and MOT history print-out.
Kept garaged throughout its life, it remains in exceptionally good and original condition throughout with lustrous blue paintwork and a virtually unmarked blue cloth interior. Repaint the wheels (or better still put some alloys on) and it would not look out of place in a modern Volvo showroom. Find a better one!
