Colour

A 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB belonging to the rare early production run of just 712 cars bodied in lightweight glassfibre (vetroresina) rather than the steel used from April 1977 onward. Finished in red over black leather, this European-specification example retains its original dry-sump 3.0-litre quad-cam V8 and has covered approximately 71,000 kilometres across two prior Swiss owners. It has been held in a small private collection since 2015 and is accompanied by sundry invoices, an MFK document, Swiss Veteranenzulassung, and copies of earlier registration and sale paperwork.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
