    There is evidence to suggest that one 208 GT/4 in RHD came here.

    #10968 imported through Maranello Concessionaires Australia Pty Ltd.

    Does anyone know if this was ever the case?

    I don't know, but it doesn't sound likely.
    There was no business case to build a RHD 208, they only existed because of the Italian tax concessions on under 2L litre cars. It wouldn't have been cheaper than a 308 GT4, and have slightly less power.

    Not the 208 GT4 , you're thinking of the later 208 GTB
