History of the Marque
Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina to both replace the 206/246 Dino (of his design) and sit alongside Bertone's 308 GT4, the Ferrari 308 GTB was introduced at the 1975 Paris Motor Show.
The initial release of the 308 GTB saw Enzo Ferrari's "Carrozzeria" of choice, Sergio Scaglietti (whose business was across the road from Ferrari's Scuderia Ferrari in Trento Trieste in Modena) take the unusual step to produce the new Ferrari's body work in Vetroresina (Italian for fibreglass). This Lightweight Composite Material enabled the total weight of the 308 GTB to be just 1,050kg. This construction method marked the first time that a composite body was sold on a production Ferrari.
Underneath the Vetroresina bodywork was a Tubular chassis supporting a Mid-Mounted Transverse 2927cc V8 engine designed by Vittorio Jano, equipped with Quad Weber Carburettors and driven through a 5 speed Transaxle Gearbox
Ferrari aficionados are of the view that only 712 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina's were built with only 154 built in Right Hand Drive. Production of the 308 GTB switched to steel in late 1977.
This 1977 Rosso Corsa Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina is an exceptionally rare, Australian Delivered example in Factory Right Hand drive with a wet sump, offered only to Australia and Japan. The interior trim has been maintained to a very high standard, with the Accented Black and red seats providing a very comfortable take on the Italian "laid back" seating position.
Major Maintenance History
Prior to the vehicle's current custodian, the vehicle enjoyed single ownership from S September 2005 until November 2018 (Mr Brian Robinson).
The car has enjoyed and benefitted from having two principle mechanics undertaking the servicing since 2003. There is an extensive file documenting the vehicles maintenance history, including the logbooks of travel under historic club registration. The original service history book is not present. The original owner's manual is present.
From 2003 until November 2018, the vehicle was serviced and maintained by Ferrari expert Tim Embleton, the proprietor of Black Stallion Motors (Ringwood, Victoria). See link below
Over this period, the vehicle has had no expense spared on its maintenance, with more than $46,000 worth of invoices supplied up until November 2018.
Further invoices dating back to 29 October 2003 showing $37,000+ spent on n extensive overhaul. This included but was not limited to an engine rebuild undertaken by Black Stallion Motors in 2004 (at 119,400kms), uprated ignition and a new clutch.
Since arriving in South Australia in December 2018, the vehicle has been exclusively serviced by Ferrari expert Mario Labrosciano, the proprietor of Veloce Motorsport. See link below.
The car underwent a full service in December 2025 by Veloce Motorsport including removal and replacement of timing (cam) belts and timing bearings.
