https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/ferrari/308gtb/1942288.html I thought all vetroresinas were dry sump and had no license plate recess?
None, really. All "euro" (UK and Continental Europe) carbed 308 GTB, whether vetroresinas or steel cars, were Dry Sump. but US and Australian GTBs were wet sump. All GTS were wet sump (carbed, and later injected) (= there is no such thing as a dry sump GTS). Then all "2 valve injected" (GTB and GTS) were wet sump (Europe, US, Australia, Japan, etc...) and so were ALL QVs; and so were ALL 328s. In other words: in the whole 308 and 328 family, ONLY "euro" carbed 308 GTBs (vetroresinas and steel) were Dry Sump. Rgds
It seems curious that US-market Vetroresina's seem to get the rear indicators/turn signals with the reverse lights incorporated in the centres, as with every other 308/328 GTB/GTS /Mondial/400/412 model, whereas the European Vetroresina's seem to come with solid amber rear indicators/turn signals, and reverse lights mounted in the rear bumper Were the US market cars made at the end of the production run, at a time when Ferrari had already decided to re-design the rear indicator/turn signals to incorporate the reverse light in them? As for the licence plate recess: A quick Google images search indicates that the US plate sized recess was standard on US market cars. European market cars appear to come without a recess.
That poor car is caught in no-mans-land. Way too many miles to be collectable, way too expensive to be just a driver.
