Engine
2.9L transverse mid-mounted V8, twin-choke Weber carburettors
Colour
Bianco Polo (white) over Blu (blue)

A carburettor-fed 1977 Ferrari 308 GTS finished in the unusual combination of Bianco Polo over Blu, notable for its documented early registration to the Palace of Monaco under the plate 'M001 MC' in a shade close to Monaco Blue. Equipped with the optional 16-inch wheels and a low front spoiler, the car was subsequently acquired by a French dressmaker before passing to its long-term French owner in 1983. Having spent several years in static display, it requires recommissioning.

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.

“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.
