agostini auto junior 308 gts

hi guys just a quick on since the last time i was on here ive tbh have done nothing with this little gem of a car and its a real shame so if anyone fancies purchasing it off me email me at [email protected] thanks guys

 

I love these little go carts! There was one on eBay last year and I was upset I never pulled the trigger and purchased it. It was a 308 version. I passed cause I am looking for Testarossa version. If any one has leads of one for sale, please PM me!!

 

I guess I would not turn down a F40 if I could find one. Check out these pics!!

had a lot of interest but i cant believe noones made me a offer on this little car lol

 

Hmmm...... Based on the registration plate (F308 GTS), It's a LHD 308 GTS imported into the UK late '88/early '89. The indicator side-lights point towards a European car rather than a US model.

The wheels are not Ferrari originals, the windscreen is out/missing and it looks like the dash/interior needs a lot of work.

I suspect it's lacking any Ferrari service history (or any service history at all), so the belts are likely to be suspect (more than likely needs a full engine rebuild!) - Any idea on the mileage?

The biggest problem though is that it's a fibreglass 308 GTS which straight away raises suspicions as the 308 GTS was never made in fibreglass! (Someone has claimed to have found a fibreglass 308 GTS prototype but it seemed to be more like a converted Vetroresina 308 GTB).


Is it also lacking the targa top? - That's going to put buyers off as they're very hard to come by!


Ferrari 308 GTS buyers are very picky about the cars they buy!

 

Didn't that glass GTS sell at auction last year?

 

I believe it did but I don't recall there being any official verification of it being a genuine, factory original, glassfibre 308 GTS prototype, from Ferrari themselves (which is surely the first thing you would get if you believe it to be true? - I know I would have!)

 

Maybe the buyer knew it was a converted glass GTB and thought it made financial sense to buy it and restore it as such.

My concern would be that some poor buyer has been duped into paying extra £'s/$'s for the car believing it to be something it's not, based on the advertising description (i.e A factory glassfibre prototype GTS).

Okay, a glassfibre GTS is going to be pretty unique so may be worth paying a bit extra for (to some at least), but if you paid the extra money thinking it was a Ferrari original prototype, as advertised, and then Ferrari informed you that it was no such thing, you'd be pretty p:censored:ed off about it (especially if Ferrari refused to even look at it for a Classiche certificate due to it being a cut up vetroresina and no longer being original!).

Now, would Ferrari be prepared to issue a Classiche certificate on an Agostini Junior 308 GTS?

 

I have one of these Agostini 308 Juniors - the more substantial one from 1983 with independent suspension and pop-up headlights and an 11hp motor, etc. It's a complete car but in need of restoration and I'm having a hard time finding ANY info or literature or parts (I know that last one is a laugh) and was wondering if anyone has anything they could share or advice to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi I am restoring a 308 agostini and need repro decals, anyone knows how to find a set?

Any help is appreciated

thanks

 

I always just try to have something made. Figure out which logos you want and then go to your vinyl wrap / graphics shop. Those guys can usually make any decal you want...

There were actually two versions of the Agostini 308, the one that started this thread, and the one on consignment at Nichols Mee. The first is far less detailed - the doors don't open, the lights don't pop, there is no targa top, etc. The second is more intricate, with doors that open, lights, two seats (as opposed to the bench in the first), etc. The difference in what the two models go for is tremendous; I've seen the first version go for several thousand, while the second often trades for tens of thousands.

Are those Agostini cars? I didn't know they made an F40 and F50.

 

What would be cool is if the mini F50 came with a mini parts box that sits next to the full size one shown!

didn't realize how amazing the Agostini F40 was. Reading the brochure, it says the bodywork is actually kevlar! And the rear clamshell lifts up like the real thing. It even has disc brakes - amazing. I always thought the Agostini Countach was the ultimate Agostini, but that F40 may top it.
