Interior
The interior is original, including the seats which are tan leather. The seats and other interior panels show very little wear or aging. The gauges are excellent and work perfectly. The carpet is in very nice to excellent condition and there are two sets of floor mats among the many spares that will come with the car. The only non-original features of the interior are the later radio and the lighter which is a later Ferrari version which allows use of plug in chargers, etc. The original lighter (that is a unique style where a cigarette is inserted for lighting) comes with the spares for re-installation if you so choose. The targa top is designed to stow behind the seats, and the original storage cover that snaps over it when stowed is present, including the storage pouch for the cover. Air conditioning has been converted to 134A but currently needs a charge.
Engine and transmission
If you’ve not had a 308 before, you are in for a real treat as a good 308 is a pleasure to drive and own. Once you get familiar with the Weber carb cold start vs. warm starting procedure, the engine lights immediately. Oil pressure is excellent, water temperature stays nice and cool. The gated shifter and transmission are smooth and precise, the clutch takes up evenly, and the brakes pull straight and strong. On the interstate, the 308 settles in nicely, and the faster you go, the quieter it gets.
The engine bay is tidy and clean and is close to concours standards- very presentable as original. Underneath the driveline is clean and the fuel system and carburetors are free of leaks. The charging system works well as does the cooling system.
