The Commission

The last pure Dino, perfected.

The Ferrari 328 GTB is the final expression of the small mid-engined Ferrari lineage that began with the Dino 206 GT in 1967. Penned by Pininfarina and produced between 1985 and 1989, the 328's 3.2-litre V8 — a bored-and-stroked 308 unit — delivered 270 horsepower and a soundtrack that remains among the finest in Ferrari's history. This example, in the rare and correct Argento Metallizzato, arrived for a comprehensive restoration after light use from new. The bodywork was fully addressed, the V8 removed and rebuilt with new seals, bearings, and belts, and the Bosch K-Jetronic injection system cleaned and calibrated. Interior and hood were retrimmed to Schedoni standard. A correct, numbers-matching 328 in the most elegant possible specification — restored to a condition that does justice to Pininfarina's vision.
