$1986 Ferrari 328 GTB, LHD, 3,200cc. Registration number D4 GTB. Vin number ZFFWA19B000066423. Engine number unknown Introduced in 1985, the Ferrari 328 GTB was similar to the preceding 308 GTB apart from its 3.2-litre engine. Representing the second generation of Ferrari's V8-engined road cars, the entirely new 308 GTB had debuted at the Paris Salon in 1975. This particular model line had begun in 1973 with the Dino-badged 308 GT4 2+2. The newcomer's wedge-shaped styling - by Bertone rather than the customary Pininfarina - was not universally well received but the performance of the amidships-mounted, double-overhead-camshaft 3.0-litre V8 certainly was, and a dry-sump version of the same power unit was used for the 308 GT4's two-seat successor. Built on a shorter wheelbase, the stunningly beautiful 308 GTB marked a welcome return to Pininfarina styling. In 1985, the 308 was superseded by the mechanically similar but larger engined 328 GTB. By increasing both bore and stroke, the quattrovalvole engine's capacity was raised to 3,186cc which, together with a higher compression ratio, revised pistons, and an improved Marelli engine management system, lifted maximum power to 270bhp. Top speed was raised to within a whisker of 160mph with the sprint to 62mph covered in a fraction over 5.5 seconds. On the outside, the elegant simplicity of Pininfarina's original 308 had been diluted somewhat but its underlying beauty, though, could not be disguised. The 328 GTB/GTS continued in production until 1989, by which time almost 22,000 308/328s of all types had been sold, making the model the most commercially successful Ferrari of all time. This example was first owned by legendary Ferrari dealer and racer Philippe Lancksweert, who was part owner of the Francorchamps dealership in Brussels, being registered on the 17th October 1986. By 1997 Very Superior Old Cars of the Netherlands had sold it to a Mr de Vos, receipts on file show he had a major service including the steering rack at a cost of Fl 4,059. In 1999 they sold it to Mr Davis who receipts show had the wheel bearings replaced and again to our vendor in 2000 when he was working in Holland. There are Dutch equivalent MOT certificates on file from 2001 - 2008. Works undertaken when he lived out there include in 2001 a Kenwood CD, with amp and a Class 3 alarm fitted at a cost of Euro 2,486, in 2004 new ECU from Kroymans Ferrari Euro 1,100 and 2007 Trentside of North Lincolnshire removed the engine, fitted a new clutch, inc pressure plates and bearing, new cam oil seals, new timing belts, £3,700. When he moved to the UK in 2010, he brought it with him, fitting a new speedo, (the old reading 117,047KM), a new alarm, new headlights and underseal at the same time, costing £926. MOT and service history follows by Lowfield Garage of Malton from that time, the most recent MOT in February 2022 at 2,675 miles. In 2013 Malton Coachworks undertook welding to nearside sill and painted the front of the car for £1,450, in 2014 a re-cored radiator and new coolant bottle amongst other parts were fitted for £1,160, in 2015 new Pirelli P7’s were fitted and in 2019 second hand door catches were replaced (£789 for the pair) and the doors adjusted for £427 at Malton coachworks. The car has had little use over the last six years, although always MOTed and serviced, due to an eyesight condition meaning our vendor can no longer drive and he is now, reluctantly, allowing this 328 GTB to be looked after by another custodian. Sold with the V5C, comprehensive history folder as mentioned above, Ferrari handbook holder, original owners’ card, and bespoke garage soft cover, Spicer's can recommend this 328, a car that has known history back to 1997, been owned by our vendor since 2000 and has been enjoyed as it was designed to be and not left in a garage as an investment. We would recommend that the next custodian has the timing belts changed due to the time period since they were last changed as a precaution.$
