308 GTB

This unique Ferrari is an original, UK supplied, right hand drive car. It is one of only 712 of these early 308s in fibreglass and one of only 154 in right hand drive.
The car first became known to Nick Cartwright Specialist Cars some thirty years ago and has been cared for by us since then. The car has had only three owners during that period, each of which has lavished care on the car. On its purchase by the present owner in 2011, the car was in very good order. However, the present owner wished the car to be completely restored and to be prepared for use as a fast road car and as a competition car. This work was entrusted to Nick Cartwright Specialist Cars and was carried out with meticulous care over a period of some two years. It was also carried out to the highest of standards and without regard to cost.
These works were recorded in great detail and a complete photographic record has long formed a feature of our website. Among the works were a refurbishment of the chassis and bodywork and a change of colour from black to the stunning grigio titanio the car wears today. The car’s mechanical and engineering components were entirely overhauled and renewed and these works included an uprating of the engine to competition specification, uprating of braking system, clutch, suspension, steering and cooling system, extensive lightening and development and fitting of bespoke exhaust system.
