The Ferrari 308, introduced in 1975, marked a significant evolution for Maranello's mid-engined V8 lineage. Following the Dino 246, the 308 brought a more aggressive, angular design penned by Pininfarina's Leonardo Fioravanti, who also styled the Daytona and Berlinetta Boxer. Initially launched as a GTB (Gran Turismo Berlinetta) with a fiberglass body, it quickly transitioned to steel, with the Targa-topped GTS (Gran Turismo Spider) arriving in 1977 and rapidly becoming the more popular variant, thanks in no small part to its starring role in *Magnum P.I.* The "QV" or *Quattrovalvole* model, introduced in 1982, was the ultimate iteration of the 308, addressing earlier concerns about power output by adopting four valves per cylinder, boosting horsepower to a more spirited 240 hp for US models and cementing its status as a true driver's car before the arrival of the 328. This stunning 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS QV embodies the quintessential Ferrari experience, presented in the iconic Rosso Corsa over a tan leather interior. With a mere 19,011 original miles, this two-owner example has clearly been cherished throughout its life. Power comes from the desirable 2.9-liter *Quattrovalvole* V8 engine, paired with a period-correct automatic transmission, offering a unique blend of classic Ferrari performance and ease of use. The car comes complete with its original books, service records, and tool kit, documenting its meticulous care, including a major service with belt replacement performed in November 2024. This represents a rare chance to acquire a low-mileage, well-documented example of Ferrari's beloved 308 GTS QV.
