    I have been in the 550/575 section primarily since I have owned a few Maranellos and a Barchetta over the last 5 1/2 years. I have recently been thinking about buying a 308 again, as this was my very first Ferrari purchase in 1992( I had a 1978 308 GTS carbureted car Red/Tan) and someone I know put me on to a beautiful 1981 Red/Tan 308 GTSi.
    Here are some photos and I can't wait to start driving this car as soon as our weather permits. I saw the car Thursday night and bought it on Friday.

    It won't let me upload more than 1 photo from my IPad.

    The VIN is B0035013
    It was a local Calgary car that used to be owned by an excellent Independent Ferrari mechanic that passed away quite a few years ago.
    It's a great example of a 308

    Thanks for the well wishes guys.

    All I have left is my 2005 575M F1 car, the Barchetta was sold last May.

    Looks like a very nice car; especially nice to find one maintained by someone who really knew the car! Mine's a 328 GTS; sometimes I wish they'd left the controls on the 328 console alone. The 308 controls are very classic!

    Congrats,
    Rich
