In short, a sleeker looking, better performing 308. Rare colour scheme of Rossa Corsa exterior with Cremma interior. Toolkit, records and manuals include

This classic Pininfarina styled 308 is a highly desirable Euro spec version. This means higher horsepower rating, different gear ratios, smaller bumpers, no catalytic converter, smaller, sleeker looking exterior mirrors, smaller side marker lights and on front only, no “fasten seat belt” warning light, flash to pass driving lights in grill, space saver spare instead of full size, rear engine cover smaller and overall reduced weight. In general, it is a sleeker looking and better performing 308 than the ones which were diluted for the American market. Further adding to the rarity of the one offered here is the colour scheme of Rosso Corsa exterior with Cremma interior. Although many Ferraris proudly wear racing red on the oustide, very few have ever been treated to the cream interior seen here. Also of note is that this car has the toolkit, records and manuals which are an important part of the Ferrari purchase. Considered by many to be the ultimate bargain in supercars, the 308 is one of the most affordable Ferrari’s to buy and maintain. You could not possibly go wrong with a car of such performance, rarity, collectability and prestige.
