Inside, the cabin features tan bucket seats with adjustable headrests, complemented by dark red piping that adds contrast to the upholstery. The driver is greeted by Veglia Borletti instrumentation, a MOMO three-spoke steering wheel, and the distinctive gated shifter, an enduring Ferrari design feature that makes each gear change a more deliberate part of the driving experience.

This 1979 example combines the classic proportions of the original 308 design with a manual transmission and a well-recognized Rosso Chiaro exterior.
