The Ferrari 308, introduced in 1975, emerged as a pivotal model for Maranello, taking the reins from the Dino 246 and solidifying Ferrari's presence in the accessible exotic sports car market. Designed by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, its iconic wedge shape, punctuated by sharp lines and a mid-mounted V8, quickly became synonymous with the brand through its starring role in pop culture. The GTS variant, with its removable targa top, offered open-air exhilaration, while the "i" designation, introduced in 1980, marked the shift to Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, addressing emissions regulations and improving drivability. By 1982, the 308 evolved into the Quattrovalvole (QV), distinguished by its four valves per cylinder, boosting power back to a more spirited 240 hp in US specification and refining what was already a beloved platform. This particular 1983 Ferrari 308 GTSi Quattrovalvole stands out with an exceptionally low 23,900 original miles, making it a remarkably preserved example of the breed. Clad in a stunning Rosso Rubino Metallizzato – a less common and deeply rich metallic red – over a classic beige leather interior, its aesthetic is both vibrant and sophisticated. Having been under the care of the same owner since 1991, this 308 boasts an extensive service history dating back to its delivery in 1983, including a recent timing belt service, ensuring it's ready for its next chapter. Accompanied by its original manuals, a service booklet replete with dealer stamps, and both the original tool kit and tool roll, this 308 GTSi QV represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously documented and cherished piece of Ferrari history.
