FERRARI 308 GTBi
Shooting to fame thanks to its starring role in the TV series Magnum PI, the Ferrari 308 was a mid-engined, two-seat sports car produced from 1975 to 1985. The GTBi variant featured a near-identical design to the standard GTB coupé but was driven by a 3.0-litre V8 with a Bosch mechanical fuel injection system. This dropped its power from 252bhp to 211bhp, but it was still capable of 0-62mph in 6.7sec. A few changes were made inside, too: the oil temperature gauge and clock were moved to the centre console and a three-spoke steering wheel and a new seating pattern appeared. One of only 494 GTBi cars made, this 1982 example has been owned by three parties who have driven it just 12,000 miles over its 39 years. It sold for £57,250.
