Finished in black over a black interior, this 1980 Ferrari 308 GTSi presents as an honest, mechanically minded driver rather than a cosmetic showpiece. The car was previously owned by a professional mechanic, and its history reflects an emphasis on keeping the car usable, reliable, and enjoyable rather than concours-correct.

Power comes from a later 1984 Quattrovalvole (QV) engine, giving this earlier GTSi chassis the higher-output 32-valve specification. The upgrade results in stronger performance and more responsive character while retaining the classic 308 silhouette and removable targa top experience.

Cosmetically, the car is best described as presentable from a distance but imperfect up close. The paint shows age and prior work that does not meet modern show standards, and buyers should view this as a driver-quality finish rather than a refinished example. The interior remains largely original in feel and character, though there are areas — including some exposed wiring — that would benefit from attention or refurbishment depending on the next owner’s goals.

At present, the driver-side rear tire is flat and will need repair or replacement prior to extended driving.

The car has received substantial mechanical attention focused on drivability and durability, including a full timing service and numerous supporting components:

• Fuel system refresh with new fuel filter and fuel pump

• Remanufactured alternator

• Major timing belt service, including:

  • Cam belts, tensioner, bearings, and hardware

  • Accessory belts (A/C, alternator, water pump)

  • Cam and crank seals

  • Distributor seals, gasket, and carbon pad

• Cooling system service including new water pump, gasket, housing O-ring, thermostat, and coolant

• New spark plugs, air filter, and multiple oil changes with 20W-50

• New valve cover gaskets

• Stainless steel brake hose kit

• New battery

• Complete clutch kit

Note: Rear brake calipers are noted as needing rebuild.

Overall, this 308 GTSi is a driver-first Ferrari — an opportunity to enjoy the look, sound, and experience of a classic Pininfarina V8 with a QV motor, accepting that it will require some sorting and cosmetic attention rather than presenting as a finished show car.
