Foskers' 308 looks lovely but is that chrome door mirror a period fitment?
They have 3...2 red (one of which was originally silver) and a yellow car. All are priced around the £160k mark. One of the red cars is detailed beautifully. 2 of them have the silver mirrors. They've also repatriated a friend's old Daytona...it has risen in price since it went to Australia!!rubystone said:

silver mirrors obviously not period fitment , but same as so many 308's , things get changed torquespeak said:

£75k for a 308 GT4?! http://foskers.com/sales-cars/349/1980-ferrari-308...
... a 308 GT4 (one of the most maligned models)...
Hi James, just to add some context here, we're selling very good (but not exceptional) 308 GT4s for £45k. Needless to say, the car you link to is a different proposition altogether: 14000-mile concours-winning car in Rosso Corsa with full Crema hide, the original delivery plastic around the corners of the door cards, and a huge history file.... a 308 GT4 (one of the most maligned models)...
The GT4 is built in the same platform as the 308 GTB, same engine, same independent suspension. Everyone seems to think they remember the 308 GT4 being hated, but save some trivial comments on styling (FF, anyone?), it wasn't. Period road tests were glowing. Its seven years of sales were 30% higher than the six years of carb 308 GTB. People visiting the showroom now always say how much the GT4 has grown on them, which is why we've sold so many over the last year. It has more of the 1970s about it than any other Ferrari launched during that decade IMPO.
Jethro Bovingdon summed up the appeal perfectly back in November: "Think they look gorgeous in silver. More hotroddy than Pininfarina cars."
BTW - there is a LHD car with 56000 miles in Europe for £84,000. Yes, really...
I bought my Blue Dino/Crema GT4 last year precisely because it is a great car to drive and I have always loved the styling. I have absolutely no regrets. GT4s have been long undervalued and people who knock them normally do so from a distance with no real knowledge. Since I bought my car I have spoken to a lot of current and previous owners, and the previous owners all wish they still owned one. Speaks volumes.

Hardly ever see a GT4 in city centres, but saw one last week by St. Pauls. Pedestrians were gawping big time, its sharp shape really does slice through the ubiquitous blobs sharing the same road, and made the 430 behind it look a bit like a Routemaster by comparison.
They sound so fruity with those carbs too
Not heard about the Anglia auction just yet. Which Silverstone one were you referring to?
Auction results are always to be taken with a pinch of salt. Some great cars can make too little; some bad cars can make too much.
I was at an auction in the summer last year where a 308 GTS was going under the hammer. I got underneath the car and saw another guy feeling the sill on the opposite side - it was literally crumbling away in his hand. Thought people would avoid it like the plague, but it made £87k with the premium. Two bidders got into a price war and clearly neither had properly inspected it. Hey ho.

I have 3 308s, standard Berlinetta, GTO bodied and GT4. Although the GT4 is wet sumped The longer wheelbase really does help The balance of che car. They are great fun on track and through the country lanes. Add an Accusump [sic] and you have no reliability issues. I really didn't rate the looks as I remember an uncared for car at a local dealership back in the 70snbut the shape has really grown on me and I truly enjoy the car. Don't discount until you have driven one. However GTB is drop dead gorgeous.Hardly ever see a GT4 in city centres, but saw one last week by St. Pauls.
