Ferrari 308, 70's Bertone style at its best

Ferrari 308 GT4 (1977_Corrected)

Ferrari 308 GT4_1977 (scanned from a very faded aged orange 70s Agfa print) and below, with some Copilot, more as it would have appeared.

The Copilot prompt: "This is a silver car on a concrete drive with green grass in the foreground. Can you colour correct the image to it appears natural"

I have no idea who owned this 308GT4 but took the photo from the street (at Hahei Coromandel) when I was about 11.

It's often considered "the odd Ferrari" as the wedgie Bertone style contrasted with the curvy Pininfarina heritage but I liked it then, still do. Considering it combined 4 seats (OK really 2+2) and a mid-mounted V8 I think the proportions are good and I love the C pillar air intakes.

It's certainly aged better than the Pininfarina styled Ferrari Mondial that replaced it.

Rarer, faster and more enjoyable than one of the most celebrated Ferraris ever, not to mention a fraction of the price. Gez Medinger thinks the controversial wedge is the bargain of a lifetime
