1989 Ferrari 328 GTS Coupe 2dr Man 5sp 3.2i

The Ferrari 328 GTB and GTS served as the successors to the Ferrari 308 GTB and GTS, while retaining much of their design. However, slight modifications were made to both the body style and engine. Notably, the engine displacement was increased to 3.2 litres. Equipped with a 3.2-litre V8 engine boasting 4-valves-per-cylinder (quattro valve) technology, this Ferrari delivered an impressive 275 horsepower to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Consequently, it could sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds and achieve a top speed exceeding 260 km/h.

Among Ferrari enthusiasts, the 328 is often regarded as one of the most reliable models. Unlike some other Ferraris, most engine maintenance tasks can be completed without removing the engine from the vehicle. The production numbers reflect its popularity, with a total of 6,068 GTS (convertible) models produced, significantly outnumbering the 1,344 units of the GTB (coupe) variant.

We are delighted to present this extraordinary 1989 328 GTS, which has now attained unicorn status. Finished in the classic Rosso Corsa exterior colour and adorned with a luxurious Cream leather interior, this car is a true gem. Originally delivered in South Australia on June 29, 1989, it has only traveled a mere 2,925 kilometres throughout its life, spending the entirety of its existence in private collections.

Of particular note is its previous ownership under Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of Harrods Department store in Knightsbridge, London. After being acquired from his collection in 2000, the car was carefully stored in a Car Carcoon until it was later recommissioned by renowned Ferrari Specialist, Terry Key. In 2015, it was sold and brought back to Australia.

The Pininfarina-designed body is flawless, exhibiting a pristine appearance as if it were brand new. The striking Rosso Corsa paintwork is immaculate, and the exterior features, including the pop-up headlights, integrated fog lights, side air intakes, and quad exhaust tips, add to the allure of this 80s icon.

Stepping inside the car is like entering a time capsule. The fiery orange Veglia Borletti instrumentation, meticulously stitched leather sports seats, and stainless steel gated manual transmission all retain their mint condition, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

The shifter delivers an unforgettable 'click, click' sound and sensation as it glides through the gears. The car's exceptional balance on the road, coupled with the harmonious connection between driver and machine, provides a driving experience akin to the exhilarating effect of the finest caffeine.

This particular model has garnered recognition in the collector and investor market as a promising future investment. With its exceptionally low mileage, documented provenance, and rich history, it represents a rare and outstanding opportunity to invest in Ferrari and its illustrious heritage. Moreover, the driving experience it offers remains unforgettable, even by today's standards.
