1979 Ferrari 308 GTS - My First Classic V8 Ferrari Drive (The Famous 'Influenzo')

Показать описание
Today a bit of bonus Ferrari, I drive the world famous Influenzo, courtesy of my friend Jack @Number27 - a car bought on auction, sight unseen, with two hours of prep and a few hidden faults.

I've never driven anything older than 1995 in the world of Ferrari, so how is this slice of iconic 70s prancing horse?

One of the prettiest cars ever made in my view. I never cared much about the usual suspects, but the 308 and 328 just look so balanced, sporty and timeless!

I have wanted one of these since watching Magnum P.I. as a kid in the 80s.

Probably my favorite car of all time...and yes, Magnum P.I. is entirely to blame for that!

Jay Emm, You missed a big part of the attraction to this car. The owner! Jack is a hoot, and I think we would have appreciated some good banter between you two.

I'm glad you mentioned how good the ride was. I've had my 308 nearly 19 years and it still amazes me how well it deals with poor road surfaces, especially compared with a similar vintage 911. Weather looked glorious on your drive, no wonder it looked like fun. Thanks for a good vid.

Whatever the stats in terms of performance and driveability. There's no denying that this car looks a lot better than the Ferraris we have today.

I was 16 years old in 1979. My mate at school Dad worked for a fancy London advertising company. In ‘79 his company car was 308 GTB (fibreglass, carb version). After 3 years he got to keep his company cars!
So, his next company car was a....308 GTS !
To us as kids back then, they were just out of this world in looks and performance.
I wonder what it would feel like for me to drive one

Oozes style and elegance that no modern Ferrari can match (IMHO)!

I have been watching Jack and the "Influenzo" since he bought it. Love the 3x8 cars. I was torn between one of these and a Lotus Esprit, I have decided to go Esprit V8. At least for now.

I had a Triumph TR-7 that i am reminded of as i watch this. I loved to drive it on the weekends after working on it all week long.

Yes!!! Magnum PI and the 308 GTS!!! Introduced Ferrari as a dream car to a whole generation of people who wouldn’t have known about Ferrari otherwise.

When I’ve saved enough, the 328 GTS is is the one for me. However, this is because of Beverly Hills Cop 2 and the poster on my bedroom wall! Although if you watch the film, they do use a 308 for some shots. Great video, nice to see a cross over with another of my favourite channels. 👍

They removed the seat for Tom Selleck to drive on Magnum PI. That is one lovely looking car. I was fortunate enough to get a passenger ride in an open top 308 when the Ferrari owners club visited Headley Court nearly 10 years ago now selecting the 308 over the 430 and 360's that were also there that summer evening!
