20405roadItaly

Engine: 3.0L V8, carbureted with four twin-choke Webers, dual belt-driven overhead cams per bank, 237 bhp
Colour: Metallic azure blue ('Azzurro Metallizzato')

A US-market Ferrari 308 GTB constructed at Maranello in November 1976, finished in Azzurro Metallizzato over cream leather with black accents. Among the earlier steel-bodied examples, it retains the desirable carbureted 3.0-litre V-8, five-speed gated manual transmission, and period Campagnolo wheels. The current custodian has invested in thorough mechanical and cosmetic recommissioning, including an engine refresh, carburetor rebuilds, suspension work, and replating of aluminium components.
