1977 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 GT4

The Dino 308 GT4 was the first series production Ferrari to use the V8 in a mid engined layout behind a closed cabin with four seats, and it was the first road going Ferrari with bodywork by Bertone rather than Pininfarina. Introduced in 1973 and sold under the Dino badge until 1976, it carries the 2.9 litre quad cam V8 and a wedge shaped three door body with a usable rear pair of seats. It is lighter and in some ways more agile than the Pininfarina bodied cars that followed, and it has become the value proposition of the classic mid engined Ferrari world: the same engine and drivetrain architecture as the 308 GTB, at a fraction of the price, with four seats into the bargain.

This example is a 1977 car finished in Blue, with 51,000 km showing and the 2,900 cc engine paired to a Five speed manual. It is left hand drive, as all Ferrari road cars of this period were, and it is offered from Japan with the Japanese market documentation that comes with it.

Why this car is worth considering

The appeal here is the specification rather than a sales pitch. Dino 308 GT4 values have moved structurally because the model sits at a genuinely significant point in Ferrari's history, and cars that keep their original engine, gearbox and body configuration are the ones that hold up. This car offers a five-speed manual transmission, blue paint, a documented 51000 km, and the factory equipment set out above. Buyers comparing it against others on the market should weigh the specification, the documentation and the honesty of the history file, all of which are available to inspect before commitment.
