1985 Ferrari 308 GTSi QV Description

From it's origins as the Dino to everlasting fame as Magnum P.I.'s ride, the 308 is still perhaps the most recognized Ferrari. The iconic low stance of this car is made possible by mid-engine design, permitting a signature silhouette which combines a sleek and unbroken roof and coach line that Ferrari continues to employ today. It was first introduced at the Auto Salon du Paris in 1975. "Stunning to look at", "dramatic", "sensuous" and "pleasant from every angle" are just of the few of the comments the Pininfarina styling elicited.This car handles like a dream. The steering is so direct, responsive and predictable that the driver almost feels as if his nerve endings are connected to the road via the tires. It corners with almost no roll and delightful mid-engine handling. At normal road speeds it's very neutral, at the limit there's a mild understeer, and if you back off the throttle when cornering hard, the 308 tightens its line slightly. This combination results in a safe and predictable car for novice and experienced drivers alike.
This 308 GTSI QV boasts Ferrari's iconic color of Ferrari Racing Red and features Connolly tan interior. This car comes loaded with air conditioning, tinted glass, with heated rear window, quartz clock, four wheel ventilated brakes, limited slip differential, Bosch K-Jetronic Fuel Injection with Lambada Control, 5-Speed Gearbox with oil cooler and pump. It also boasts electric power windows, left and right side view mirrors, door locks, a retractable electric antenna and a Blaupunkt car stereo. Also, this particular car comes with two tops (a red top and a black top) and two sets of wheels; original factory wheels and an after market set. It has all the original tools and even the original window sticker. Owner's operating manual and Warranty and Service Book are included.This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and has always been garage kept so the car retains its original luster. It is over thirty years old, but has only logged 29,200 miles, or about 1000 miles a year, just enough to prevent issues that come with a "Garage Queen". She has been run enough to remain in robust health, but without racking up additional mileage.
