This 308 GTS was delivered August 20 1979 to Ron Tonkin Grand Turismo Inc. in Portland Oregon. Ten years later Tom Samuel Sparks bought the car and was driving it himself. He was considered to be together with Tommy Meaks one of the greatest flathead builders of all time (https://ahrf.com/tom-sparks/) He also had a huge collection of cars. I was able to acquire the car after his death in March 2011. Being a total fan of Magnum P.I. it was a must to buy this machine. The car is well maintained and now for sale a I have to reduce my collection of cars due to my age.

The pleasure of open top driving has a very special place in the heart of many Ferrari fans. The 308 GTS was developed in collaboration with Pininfarina in 1977 to help make that dream come true. When not in use, its Targa hard-top could be stored neatly away behind the seats. The chassis was specially reinforced to compensate for the lack of a full roof. Performance was similar to that of the 308 GTB.
