    Michelotto modified some 308 to take them racing. I'd appreciate any pictures posted on here from any of these cars please.

    There was a Micholotto 308 at concorso last year, painted in gulf colours. I took maybe 2 photos? May take me a couple of days to find them. PM me to remind me if no other pics show up and i forget to look for them.

    Thanks, I'm patient.

    There was one picture in the last issue of Octane, but I tossed the mag before ripping out the pic. Darn. That one was a red street racing car.

    It is so rare that you come across a pic of these cars. I have seen a white rally version in the past.

    Thanks everybody for all the pictures posted! Also thanks to BigTex for a link to barchetta, which had more Michelotto's.

    I never realized there were that many racing 308s. Maybe one day somebody has the good foresight to write a book about the racing history of this car?

    Anyway, many thanks to all of you!

    "Maybe one day somebody has the good foresight to write a book about the racing history of this car"

    It would be a very small book!

    The second to last 308 isn't a real 308. It's a homemade thing with a 348 engine.
    The last two pictures are taken at Zandvoort and it's one of three 308 GT/Ms (the last one to be exact, s/n 003).

    You mean the red one is a replicar?

    I'm amazed to see the coffin wheels from the Stratos on the white 308.

    Yes, the red one with the black wheels is a replica. Picture was taken at Spa.

    As far as I know all original 308 GTB/Ms had the Stratos wheels on them.

    Hey Andreas:
    I am a big fan of the Michelotto 308 cars (as I suspect are others). Just need to find the 200K to buy one! Thanks for starting the thread and to others for posting/linking to good content.

    Philip, your 308 is probably as close to a Michelotto as any car I know of. Get together with FChatter Mike Eberhardt and finish up your conversion. You'll be zipping by 360 in no time...
    :)

    PS: Reminds me, that I have this model project sitting here on my desk waiting to be tackled.

    Was the Dudley 308 not a Group 4?
