A rare opportunity to acquire a left-hand drive Ferrari 308 GTS with genuine motorsport provenance, previously owned and driven by Pierluigi Martini. Supporting documentation is included to verify ownership history.
Finished in Giallo Fly (Fly Yellow), a highly uncommon colour for the 308 GTS. While Ferrari did not publish official colour breakdowns, marque specialists generally agree that only a small number of 1979 GTS cars were delivered in yellow, placing this example among the rarest specifications.
The car presents strongly in an iconic colour that perfectly suits the Pininfarina design. The interior remains true to the era, offering a classic Ferrari driving environment with a driver-focused layout and unmistakable analogue character.
Powered by Ferrari’s 2.9L quad-cam V8 with carburettors and paired with a gated manual gearbox, this 308 delivers the sound, response, and engagement that define classic Ferrari ownership.
To complete, the car also comes with the complete Ferrari Jack kit, preserving the car’s originality and completeness.
With 65,136 km, rare factory colour, LHD configuration, and documented ownership by a legendary Italian racing driver, this is a highly collectible Ferrari suited to serious enthusiasts and collectors.
