1976 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina Coachwork by Pininfarina/Scaglietti Chassis no. F106AB19647 •One of only 712 vetroresina models produced •Two previous owners in Switzerland •71,000 kilometres recorded •Present ownership since 2015 •Registered in Switzerland Fußnoten The 308GTB offered here has the lighter glassfibre (vetroresina) bodywork and dry-sump lubrication of the very first cars produced, which are the most sought after by enthusiasts today. Introduced at the Paris Salon in 1975, the stunningly beautiful 308 GTB – Ferrari's second V8-engined road car - marked a welcome return to Pininfarina styling following the Bertone-designed Dino 308 GT4. Badged as a 'proper' Ferrari rather than a Dino, the newcomer had changed little mechanically apart from a reduction in wheelbase, while retaining its predecessor's underpinnings and transversely mounted quad-cam 3.0-litre V8 engine, which now featured dry-sump lubrication. In road tune this superbly engineered power unit produced 255bhp, an output good enough to propel the aerodynamically efficient 308 to a top speed of 150mph (240km/h). Produced initially with glassfibre (vetroresina) bodywork - the first time this material had been used for a production Ferrari - the Scaglietti-built 308 GTB used steel after April 1977. The change brought with it a considerable weight penalty (around 80kg) and consequent reduction in performance, as well as an increased susceptibility to corrosion. Naturally, anyone wanting to race a 308 GTB started out with the vetroresina version if they could. Further developments included the introduction of an open-top GTS version with Targa-style removable roof, the adoption of Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection (1980) and, finally, revised cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder (1982). One of only 712 vetroresina 308 GTB coupés produced, this example is finished red with black leather interior and currently displays a total of some 71,000 kilometres on the odometer. A European version, the Ferrari has had two previous owners in Switzerland and since 2015 has formed part of the vendor's small private collection. Unfortunately, the original service book and manual is no longer present, but the current owner satisfied himself that the 70,000 kilometres showing on the odometer in 2015 seemed correct. Fitted with an after-market sports exhaust, the engine is said to run perfectly, while the car is described by the vendor as in very good condition throughout. Only sold because of space requirements and the vendor's advancing age, the Ferrari is offered with sundry maintenance invoices, MFK document, Swiss Veteranenzulassung, and assorted previous-ownership paperwork: copies of old registration document and bill of sale, etc. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an original example of this most desirable version of the iconic Ferrari 308 GTB. Ferrari 308 GTB « vetroresina » 1976 Carrosserie Pininfarina/Scaglietti Châssis n° F106AB19647 •Un des 712 modèles « vetroresina » produits •Deux propriétaires antérieurs en Suisse •71 000 kilomètres enregistrés •Aux mains de l'actuel propriétaire depuis 2015 •Immatriculée en Suisse La 308 GTB proposée ici est dotée de la carrosserie en résine et fibre de verre (vetroresina) plus légère et de la lubrification par carter sec des premiers modèles produits, aujourd'hui les plus recherchés par les passionnés. Présentée au Salon de Paris en 1975, la superbe 308 GTB – seconde Ferrari de route à moteur V8 – marquait un retour apprécié aux services de Pininfarina pour le style, après la Dino 308 GT4 dessinée par Bertone. Portant enfin le vrai écusson Ferrari plutôt que celui de Dino, la nouvelle venue changeait peu mécaniquement, en dehors d'un empattement plus court, reprenant le train roulant et le V8 3 litres monté transversalement de sa devancière, désormais équipé d'une lubrification par carter sec. En version routière, ce bloc moteur magnifiquement conçu, développait 255 ch, une puissance suffisante pour propulser l'aérodyn
