1977 Ferrari 308 GTB Rosso Corsa 5 Speed Manual Coupe. FERRARI 308 GTB DRY SUMP 1977. One of only 211 RHD built. Very early steel body, DRY-SUMP, quad carburetted example. First registered on the 1st of September 1977. Original RHD (right hand drive) UK delivered dry-sump example and personally imported from the UK and under the same Australian ownership since arriving in February 2010. Has extensive records dating back to the late 1980s including previous MOTs, works receipts and sale receipts. This pristine example has just undergone a fully documented full nut and bolt restoration including bare metal respray, engine rebuild and re-trim. A full nut and bolt restoration was completed in 1990 at a cost of ?60,000. At the time, this car was worth approximately ?20,000. The owner loved the car so much he spared no expense to ensure this was the best example in the world, with the restoration documented with original photographs and when inflation is calculated, that equals a restoration cost equivalent to ?137,275 (~$260,000 AUD) in 2020 pounds (dollars). Back when the average Melbourne house price was just $80,000, this was an incredible sum of money to spend. Just last year, the previous owner undertook and completed a second nut and bolt, bare metal and total strip down restoration, preserving the pristine condition of this example and keeping it in turn key condition so it can be enjoyed at any time. Included in this was an engine and gearbox strip down and full engine rebuild, new clutch, belts, head gasket, Zinc plating, second and third gear set, wiring repairs, cooling system, rubber trims and door seals, suspension rubbers and engine mounts, shock absorbers, full bare metal respray and re-trim. This restoration is supported with tens of thousands of dollars in receipts and hundreds of photos of the entire restoration process.
