This Ferrari 328 GTS is a handsome example of the classic mid-engine supercar, offered in smart overall condition and now finished in the quintessential Ferrari colour scheme. It is powered by the 3.2-litre ‘Tipo F105CV’ V8, which sends up to 270bhp to the rear wheels via an engaging five-speed transmission with an open-gate shifter. Delivered new to the UK where it was first registered in November 1986, this right-hand drive 328 GTS was sold new by Ferrari dealer H.R. Owen of South Kensington, London. The car was imported into Australia in April 2008, and has been with the seller for 15 years. The odometer currently displays 5,892 miles, however it was replaced with a new unit in July 2004 at 39,659 miles. The seller believes the car’s true total mileage to be around 73,000 kms. Originally finished in white, this 328 GTS was resprayed in Rosso Corsa in 1992, while the cabin features extended Nero leather upholstery with matching carpet. It rides on a set of 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, wrapped in Pirelli P6000 tyres. The flat-faced wheel design indicates that this is a non-ABS equipped example. Factory-fitted equipment includes electric windows, air conditioning, fog lights, a cigarette lighter, and a removable Targa roof panel. A more modern Pioneer head unit has been fitted in the cabin, which provides with USB, auxiliary, and Bluetooth connectivity. This is connected to non-original ‘Polk’ speakers, mounted on either side of the dashboard. As mentioned above, in 1992 the car has been refinished from its original white hue to Rosso Corsa, with the usually black door mirror housings and upper rear spoiler being finished in the same colour. Non-standard Ferrari badges have also been added to the door mirror covers, ‘Scuderia’ shield decals have been placed on the front wings, and heavily textured black paint has been applied to the front bumper extension and sill sections. The car will be supplied with its owner’s book pack, and lever arch file full of maintenance invoices and receipts, historic MOT test certificates, tax discs, and its historic UK V5C. The car’s cherished number plate ‘GT328S’ is included in the sale. The resprayed Rosso Corsa paintwork is described by the seller as being in very good condition, though there are various small marks and blemishes around the car. These include minor stone chips on the front bumper, touched-in chips on bonnet grille slats, chipped and flaking paintwork on the door mirror housings, and more general swirl marks around the car. There is also a crack in the front passenger-side indicator lens. Inside, the cabin presents well, with typical use-related creasing on the leather upholstery and wear on the driver’s seat bolster, heavy wear on the throttle pedal, and a general ‘patina’ of age throughout. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. This 328 GTS’ last service was carried out by Wade Brothers. The work comprised of a major service with an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the cam belts, cam seals, water pump, thermal fan switch, differential oil, gearbox oil, and a service of the air conditioning system. The car’s last service prior to this was performed in November 2007 at an indicated 2,155 miles (thought to be 41,184 miles total) by UK-based Ferrari specialist Rosneath Engineering, which was a major service including a cambelt change. This Ferrari 328 GTS is a handsome modern classic sports car, which has been refinished in the marque’s quintessential hue of Rosso Corsa. Benefitting from a recent major service and presented in smart overall condition, it should make a wonderfully analogue and engaging companion for spirited weekend drives on its new owner’s favourite roads. The description of this auction lot is, to the best of the seller's knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller, and performs a level of due diligence. However, bidders must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description, and conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to a bid. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details. This vehicle’s VIN has been checked against the Australian Personal Property Securities Register, and there is no security interest or other registration kind logged against the serial number. This vehicle has been checked through the Austroads NEVDIS system which lists a ‘stolen’ report against an engine with the same serial number in April 1994. However, this clearly does not relate to this car as it was not in Australia at that time. The vehicle is also not recorded as being written-off.
