In October, 1973 the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 2 + 2, with coachbuilt steel body by Bertone, was announced in Italy as a replacement for the Dino 246GT model. It was followed two years later by the announcement of the 308 GTB coupe. This was a Pininfarina beauty. It was a two-seater with, at first, glassfibre body constructed by Scaglietti and was a direct replacement for the much-loved 246GT Dino, although curiously enough the car never bore that name. It gained a reputation for possessing the best blend of Ferrari performance and handling. Wallace Wyss, author of many books on sports cars and owner of a 308 GTS, has researched very thoroughly into this exciting series of models with visits to the factory, extensive owner interviews and the opinions of specialists, to present a balanced and fascinating book on this Italian classic.
