The seller offers for sale a 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi, equipped with a 3.2-litre V8 petrol engine and manual gearbox. With 44,000 miles on the odometer and a restoration completed in 2019, this targa-top Ferrari features a number of tasteful upgrades including an Inox sport exhaust, 4-piston performance brake system, 16-inch alloy wheels, front spoiler, and a Nardi steering wheel.
The paintwork is described as good with no need for immediate correction, apart from one small, barely noticeable paint defect. The exterior presents cleanly with good panel fit and trim in place. The restoration appears to have been cosmetic and mechanical, returning the car to road-ready condition. The factory styling remains largely intact with period-correct appearance enhanced by subtle performance upgrades.
Inside, the car retains its original upholstery. The cabin shows minimal wear. The dashboard, instruments and trims remain factory-style, with the Nardi steering wheel being the only visible change. While the vehicle is not currently inspected, it comes with a detailed report of expertise and several invoices supporting recent work.
The Ferrari 308 GTSi succeeded the carburetted 308 models in the early 1980s and introduced Bosch fuel injection, improving reliability and emissions compliance at the cost of some peak horsepower. The 308’s Pininfarina-designed body and mid-engine layout became iconic and helped define the brand’s design language for decades. Though not the most powerful Ferrari of its era, the 308 offered a balanced driving experience, strong styling presence, and an approachable entry point into classic Ferrari ownership.
This model’s association with popular media, notably “Magnum P.I.,” cemented its place in pop culture. Targa-top variants like the GTSi combine the aesthetics of a coupe with the benefits of open-top driving, making them particularly desirable in warmer climates. The 3.2L V8 fitted to this car suggests a later engine swap or modification, as the factory GTSi models were originally 2.9L—potential buyers should confirm technical details during inspection.
The restoration carried out in 2019 included upgraded braking, wheels, suspension components and other modern touches designed to enhance drivability. The car also includes two keys, new tyres, and supporting documents for the work completed.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
