Ferrari 328 GTS ABS

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 on Saturday the 16th of May, Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN. , The entirely new Ferrari 308 made its debut at the Paris Salon in 1975 and marked a welcome return to Pininfarina styling, with rakish lines and curved haunches. After ten years of huge success, particularly in the US, Ferrari had grown weary of the 'Federalisation' of their lovingly designed motorcars in America, with mandatory ugly rubber bumpers ruining the Pininfarinapenned lines. With their Italian aesthetics under attack, Ferrari launched the new 328 with bodycoloured front and rear bumpers which adhered to US guidelines and for the first time, the design remained unadulterated by bureaucracy. 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 60mph covered in a fraction over 5.5 seconds.Beneath the skin, the tubular steel chassis remained much as before, with allround independent suspension by double wishbones, fourwheel servoassisted disc brakes and aluminiumalloy wheels, though the latter were increased in size. The interior too had come in for subtle revision and now featured improved instruments, switchgear and heating. Pininfarina built two variants of this midengine sportscar, the Gran Turismo Berlinetta Coup and the Gran Turismo Spider (GTS) featuring a removable Targatop, offering an exhilarating openair driving experience and affording the driver and their fortunate passenger unbridled access to the unmistakable howl of the Ferrari V8. Production ended in 1989 and by then some 7,412 GTS and GTB variants had rolled out of Maranello, with just 543 GTS cars supplied to the UK in righthand drive.Offered here at the 2026 Supercar Fest sale is this stunning 1990 Ferrari 328 GTS, an ABSequipped example from the final year of production. According to published data, it is one of just 292 righthand drive UKsupplied 328 GTS ABS models, and at the time of cataloguing had covered just over 29,000 miles. Supplied new via Evans Halshaw, Dudley and first registered in April 1990, today it presents extremely well in the classic colour combination of Rosso Corsa with Crema leather and Bordeaux carpets. On test the Ferrari started on the button, sounded healthy and on the road felt tight, responsive and well sorted.It is offered complete with tool kit, Targa roof panel and cover, spare wheel, original Ferrari book pack including a fully stamped service book with the private registration G3 GTS forming part of the sale. Recent specialist attention includes £6,336 with Foskers in 2022 for recommissioning following a period of light use, followed by a further £4,721 with HR Owen Ferrari in 2023. The car benefits from a comprehensive service record spanning its 36year life, supported by stamped history and accompanying invoices, and will be presented to the sale freshly serviced with cambelts replaced, ready for its next custodian.In summary, this represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a lateproduction 328 GTS, combining the analogue charm and usability of Ferraris late1980s lineage with the added reassurance of ABS. With its easily removable Targa roof, it offers the best of both worlds, secure couplike driving or openair motoring, making it ideal for summer use, European touring or relaxed weekend drives. At this appealing price point, it remains one of the most usable and rewarding modern classic Ferrari models to own, if you can find a good example, like the car offered here.
