308 PININFARINA BADGE

Does the 77 308 GTB have only one Pininfarina badge on the drivers side, or one on each side? Thanks in advance anybody for your help in answering this.

 

Just one.

 

+1

Just one drivers side

 

thanks for that all. I had one of those 'darn it' moments when I was looking a 77 yesteday...!!

 

My '81 didn't have one on either side.

 

Only one on all the cars (on the basis of the various spare parts catalogs I have). But, on the right side for the fist cars, on the left side then. Why ?

In my collection, the highest chassis No with logo at right is 20637 and the lowest chassis No with logo on the left is 20881.
In between:????

 

22027 on the left.

 

Yes, and if it's RHD, it would be on the right side.

 

My 77GTB has one on both (22839)

Should only be one, on the Driver's side (whatever that may be).

 

That actually seems more right and balance to me, but I don't think its original to have two.

 

Agreed it looks more balanced, but my 1977 only has one on the driver's side as well.

 

You would!


Some poor 308 somewhere is going without one.

 

They are Italian.

NEED I say more?

I LOVE Italian. So does my wife.

And we keep our expectations in check.

 

Mine.

 

Well at least you know where yours is.
If anyone sees a GT4 with two Bertone badges PM me.

 

hahahaha I know right?? I knicked an extra,,,,,.....

 

Millicholdi Gtb which came out in 77 has two...

 

Leonardo Fioravanti's Vetroresina came with 2 badges too. Well, I guess the exception for him did make sense.

 

hmmm..... my badge is on the left hand side, but is a UK RHD 1977 model...... this is the sort of thread that can make a paranoid 308 owner lose sleep at night!!

.....And just looking, my 80/81 car has it on both sides....... now i'm going to need a consensus on this!!

You seem to have a couple of big cracks on the front of the car and windscreen...LOL!

 

bertone press car may have ended up with two... some late gt4 had a least one also

 

But they all had at least one?

 

Totally talking smack, here's my guess.

When Luigi was assembling the bodies, he just grabbed the next part in the bin which may or may not have been put in the correct order for the various RHD/LHD cars being then currently assembled. All holes were pre-drilled accordingly before the part being put in the assembly bins.

So after his two bottle of vino over spagetti lunch, let's just say his "Give-a-S**t" meter wasn't running on all cylinders. That and the fact he was Italian to begin with, and they just do things "differently."


Add them all together and "Ta-Da!"

The creation of the interesting little discrepencies we find on hand-built anythings. In this case, cars.



And if one looks closely, I bet some with two are actually aftermarket add-ons.
