Chassis No. ZFFLA12C000052883 Introduced as the final evolution of the 308 GTB in 1983, the Quattrovalvole (four-valve) improved Maranello’s charismatic, high-revving V8 with better breathing and sharpened response, creating what continues to be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable models in Ferrari’s mid-engine lineage. Chassis 52883 is one of just 74 right-hand drive 308 Quattrovalvole GTBs produced, from a total run of 822 examples. Finished in timeless Rosso Corsa over Crema leather with Rosso carpets, it was further optioned with desirable air conditioning. The original service and warranty booklet records delivery through the Colmore Ferrari Centre in West Bromwich on 26 September 1984 to its first owner, Mrs. N.W. Wilkinson of Whitmore. A detailed history file chronicles a succession of early U.K. caretakers, including Fine Colour Packaging Ltd. (1985), Mr. A. Singh (1987), Miss S. Brunt (1988), and Mr. Ken Murphy (1992). In 2011, the Ferrari was acquired by Mr. Rick Youd, and it subsequently benefited from extensive care by The Ferrari Centre in Maidstone, as supported by invoices on file and the stamped service booklet. Later ownership by Mr. Sebastian Sutton continued this stewardship, with maintenance carried out by The Ferrari Centre as well as respected marque specialist Bob Houghton, supported by multiple invoices spanning 2018–2024. Most recently, in November 2024, the annual service included replacement cam belts and auxiliary belts, along with the fitment of four new Pirelli P7 tires. Now showing 36,314 original miles—corroborated by numerous invoices and MOT inspections—chassis 52883 is a beautifully documented, right-hand drive Quattrovalvole GTB, offered as a perfect entry point into the world of classic Ferraris.
