This 308 GTB vetroresina is chassis number 19627, and build number 046.

And it’s really very special indeed.

The vendor has owned the car for 24 years and has used it regularly but very sparingly.

So sparingly, in fact, that the mileage is an extraordinary 36,300 miles from new – a figure verified by the car’s MoT history, which is documented back to 1979 when the odometer was recorded as reading 16,626 miles.

The vendor, who is a member of the Ferrari Owners Club, has spared no expense whatsoever in this car’s upkeep, maintenance and curation.

It has only been used on high days and holidays, and it wouldn’t recognise a shower or a puddle if you took it to see Singin’ in the Rain’`

The engine was given a full top-end rebuild in 2000, at which time it also had Nimonic valves fitted.

A new alloy header tank and water pump were fitted in 2010, and the car had a cambelt service and full shock absorber refurbishment in 2014 at a cost of over £8K.

All work was (and continued to be) carried out by Shiltech, and the vendor tells us that the firm’s founder, Geoff Shilton, can vouch for the condition and quality of this car if needed.

In 2014 Shiltech commissioned XK Engineering of Coventry to carry out all and any necessary bodywork repairs, re-gap doors and panels as appropriate, and respray the car in its factory colour of Rosso Corsa...at a cost of over £9K.

The front calipers were serviced in 2018 and a cambelts and valve clearances service was carried out in 2020.

The car currently sits on 16” split rim wheels, but also comes with its original 14” wheels. It has an unused space-saver wheel.
