The 1981 Ferrari 308 is an iconic sports car, celebrated for its timeless design and driving performance. Part of Ferrari's 308 series, the 1981 model belongs to the 308 GTB/GTS line-up. Introduced in 1975, the 308 quickly became a symbol of Italian automotive excellence, with the 1981 version being one of the most refined iterations of this classic. Powered by a 2.9 litre V8 engine, the 308 produced around 240 horsepower. Though modest by today's supercar standards, the car's lightweight design, rear-wheel-drive layout, and precise five-speed manual transmission allowed it to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. The engine featured four twin-choke Weber carburettors, offering a distinct, throaty sound that became synonymous with Ferrari's character. Visually, the 1981 308 is distinguished by its Pininfarina-styled body, characterised by sleek, flowing lines, pop-up headlights, and a wedge-shaped silhouette that was emblematic of 1980s automotive design. The interior, though spartan by modern standards, was driver-focused, with supportive leather seats, a gated gear change and an instrument panel dominated by analogue gauges. The 308 gained widespread recognition through popular culture, especially as the car driven by Tom Selleck in the television series Magnum, P.I. This exposure cemented its status as an automotive icon. Today, the 1981 Ferrari 308 remains a sought-after classic, cherished for its heritage, beauty, and performance.
Finished in Rosso Corsa with tan leather interior this left hand drive 1981 Ferrari 308 was imported from the U.S. and comes with a NOVA certificate, together with the original owners title. Present are also the owners manual and two sets of keys, together with some service documents. These super stylish Ferrari's of the period are fantastic to drive when on song. Whilst this example will require a small amount of recommissioning, it is competitively estimated given the condition and odometer reading. These are arguably one of the prettiest of all Ferraris built. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
