It is probably one of my favourites and there are other cars in the collection with very similar colours, including British ones At one point I also attempted to buy a Testarossa to add to the collection, which was for sale locally in the same colour scheme. It also was recently mechanically sorted by the Ferrari dealership with the full engine-out service, but wasn't a perfect show car. Unfortunately it had sold the day before I went to go buy it, or this episode might have featured it instead.
As Alex mentioned, there's other cars in the collection with this color combination, but this particular Ferrari is one of the best looking 308s in our (admittedly biased) opinion. Thanks so much for watching!
You guys are such fun to watch. This is another car that I came in knowing nothing but the name, so now I feel significantly more educated than before.
Wow, this is a absurd top notch video in top gear quality! This car is so beautiful and timeless. It's in my heart since i watched magnum as a kid. The italians are unbeatable in case of delivering the pure joy of driving an old school sports car,.
Absolutely! I'm also a big fan of British sports cars as well, but the Italians really perfected the visceral experience of driving a sports car. The British sports cars are capable and fun, but the engines tend to be powerful without having to rev to a high redline, so the Italian cars bring an exhilaration just by design that the British cars can't touch.
We're so glad you enjoyed the video! The original idea was to make something with Top Gear's production quality in a TH-cam form factor, and to not take ourselves too seriously (hence all the laughter). Thanks for chiming in, we're glad you're along for the ride!
love the Ferrari's, and 308 are beautiful and saw the 288gto when we went to Ferrai factory in Maranello back in 1984,also they had the new testa rossa covere with black shrink rap as it was a brand new model. We were fortunate to get the full factory tour and i will never forget being allowed to sit in one of Gilles Villeneuve's 126 c f1 cars which was stored in the building by Enzo Ferraris house.
Three out of the five Ferraris in the colleciton are red with a tan interior. Of those, its quite probable that two of them didn't start out that way. It really didn't become dominant practice until the 1980s and became popular enough that a lot of the cars predating the trend ended up getting refinished that way. I expect I can get build records for the two that I'm uncertain about (Ferrari 330GT and Ferrari 365GTC/4) and confirm one way or the other. That said, whenever I drive my silver Ferrari 250 GT, I keep getting asked if its the James Bond car. It's interesting what associations people make between colours and cars!
You need to change that oil filter. Common issue with uniformed owners. There are only three oil filters that work on all 308's. They are the Ferrari UFI, the Fram PH2804/1, and the Baldwin B253. These three oil filters have "stand off" tubes in them to keep oil in the filter while the engine is shut off. Throw that Wix filter away!
Thanks for the heads up. All my other Ferraris are running Baldwin filters, but those are classic V12s where the filters are incredibly obvious in the engine bay. I had a local shop service the car most recently and hadn't specified or paid attention to what filter they fitted, though can certainly remedy the issue.
I love your reviews - with both of you contributing. I had a (red) 308 which I took a couple of years to resurrect from a sorry state. As you say it’s an easy car to work on and parts are surprisingly cheap. You obviously spend a lot of time and trouble on your cars - any chance of seeing some of that work in your garage? Keep up the good work, you’re producing great videos!
Thank you so much! This comment really means the world to us. We're currently filming a restoration video in process on one of the cars (you can see it teased in the Carside Questions Episode 2 video) but having some garage time with @alexhaugland1 sounds like a great idea. Perhaps we could do some videos just tagging alongside Alex as he works on some of the cars!
We are looking at other things in the collection we can film and have certainly talked about what other things people would be interested in that would fit the broad scope of who we're trying to reach with the channel. It also takes a lot of work to put out the content we are doing with a crew as small as we are. That said, I do like the idea of going further into depth of the behind--the-scenes, either with specific projects or with some of the details of keeping the cars in a collection like this one alive. It would be a bit more of a specialist interest for some, though, so wouldn't likely be part of our main releases aside from maybe a short montage, but could be something we might release between main episodes.
That is a neatly integrated third brake light, obviously not original to the car given its age. Also, where are the reverse lights? Should be outboard and integrated with the turn signals. Nice color combination.
We talked and filmed quite a bit about the past modifications to this car by previous owners, many of which I've undone, but most of it ended up getting cut due to video length. If its something that people are interested in, we could potentially put some of it together as extra content, but in summary, when I bought the car it had been mechanically well maintained, but a previous owner decided to customize it as much as he could. He removed the front bumper, extended the grille to cover the hole, hiding the turn signals and a set of fog lights behind it, hence the change to the European style front bumper. He also almost completely debadged the car, installed different mirrors on long pedestals painted body colour, and various other changes. I ended acquiring the car inexpensively enough due to the multitude of things "wrong" with it that it was reasonably affordable to set most of them back right. The lenses of the inner and outer brake lights are interchangeable, but to be honest I hadn't really noticed that the reverse light-side of the lens was incorrect! Fortunately it should be an easy fix.
Loving all the music on your episodes, and appreciate the credits in this vid! Can we see a music playlist at some point? Maybe links to the artists in show comments?
Music is absolutely central to everything that we're doing. Not a lot of car shows put music at the forefront alongside cars, that's something we specifically wanted to do with each episode. We legally license all music through Musicbed (because we want to support these talented musicians!), so adding credits in the episodes is not something we're required to do. But the music is just so dang good and adds so much it feels like adding in a "now playing" credit is the least we can do. I love the idea of posting the links to the artists as well, such a good idea. This show wouldn't be what it is without these talented artists!
@@Everyday2Exotic it really shows! I’m going to have to see if I can get a playlist up on Spotify and other streaming services if you don’t beat me to it. If I can, I’ll be buying their music just to play while I’m driving!
The steering column turn signal stalks, lever, buttons feels exactly like an old Fiat 127 or the1600 coupe. It never felt like an old Alfa Romeo from the same era. Personally I prefer the old small rounded fender mount turn signal and take the engine to 21st century with fuel injection, itbs, crank/cam sensors, COP, wide band 02 sensors and modern wiring harness to a Haltech Elite ecu .... you'll get reliability and extra hp/torque .... I will delete the heater and every power robbing, emission BS on the engine .... I just need a gud cheap reliable DENSO or Patco AC compressor in it. We did it on a Dino GT4 in 2015
Oh we'd love to see that Dino GT4. That's what makes the '76 308 GTB one of the better 308s, it still maintains much of its power before US emissions standards kicked in. There's some pretty impressive 308 builds out there with modern components that feel like they finally bring the true sportiness to match the Ferrari look!
@@Everyday2Exotic the car was bought cheap in early 2000 from UK ... shipped to Malaysia and it got loads of electrical issues, over heating, out of tune carbs, difficulty to start up ... mechanically its fine, just unreliable to daily drive it in the tropical heat (dat explains the heater delete) and the owner just got fed up with it and junk the carbs+ignition coils and did wat needed to be done.

@@ahaugland1 Fun Fact - the owner sold his Skyline GTR to restore the Dino and upgrade the electrical, cooling system. He even got a spare engine when he bought the car. In 2009, we got a 2001 Audi RS4 Avant, the cheapest in UK ..... sold the front pair heated Recaros and windshield to a repair shop looking for one. The Recaros cost £2500 each new from Audi.

They're surprisingly sturdy, the latch mechanism that opens them is far more robust than I expected (Joel speaking here), I was deathly afraid of opening the doors at first during filming but after carefully opening it a few times I became a lot more confident!
Actually the steering wheel/column can be adjusted by bolts at its base, You get a +-10° adjustment. In this car lots of stuff are not supposed to be how they are, original cars have no prancing horses on the seats, the gear lever has no prancing horse but rather the layout of the gears and is a round knob etc. etc. Lastly this being a US car it weights at least 80 Kg more than European ones, it's not only the bumpers, the heavy exhaust, the air pump, etc. are not present on European cars, it also doesn't have the dry sump engine European cars have and is also detuned. I wonder if the gearing is also longer than in European cars. You cannot judge a 308 GTB unless you refer to a European car, these American versions are ugly, heavy and very very slow.
It's true, we wish that the regulatory environment in America during the 70s and 80s was far more in line with what was going on in Europe. So many amazing cars were crippled in such a way. Thanks for sharing your insight! Also great to know about the steering wheel - while it is certainly much more inconvenient than just adjusting the wheel via a lever, at least it can still be positioned!
I do fully acknowledge there is a lot on this car that isn't necessarily how the cars were originally made. That said, this car had been heavily modified before I acquired it and it is a driver for me, not a show car. Yes, being a US market car, it is different from the European cars but as I don't have a European market example, it is the car we have to review and as we are reviewing cars in the collection in relation to other cars in the collection, what its origin is doesn't necessarily matter.
Something we didn't get into the video is when we bought the car it had some horrible aftermarket bullet mirrors with long bases fitted. On top of that, they were badly positioned so that when I was driving the car, I didn't have a full range with part of the mirror only showing the side of the car at the outermost position. when we repainted it and restored it the mirrors on it are a set we got from another local 308 owner who had them spare.
More Engine Nosie please! I think these vids are over edited.. Otherwise, must be nice to have so much access to beautiful cars! Your wife must be the first person ever to knit in a Ferrari especially while it's in motion.
Saying our videos are over-edited is like saying these cars are over engineered! ;) Our goal is to have Top Gear like production quality with the warmth and heart of a TH-cam show, so taking the time to produce videos that mix high quality music, lighting, cinematography, and these cars is all part of what we're doing. There's plenty of videos out there of people with their iPhones and GoPros talking about cars, but who else can do what we do? And yes, we hear you about engine noise! The microphones we've been using for these episodes are primarily for picking up voices and don't do a good job of capturing anything other than a muffled drone of the engine. For future episodes we'll be recording a secondary audio track on a separate microphone specifically for engine noise. That's just another little detail that goes into making this a quality production!
We've discussed what we can do about engine noise in the videos to improve the experience listening to it. Part of the issue is that getting audio with good where you can hear us talking requires noise cancellation, greatly reducing the engine noise. In the future, we may upgrade our sound equipment to specifically get an unfiltered sound that can be balanced in to bring back enough of the engine nose without making everything else inaudible.
That can absolutely be true if the carbs aren't well tuned. These ones certainly are. The general rule that causes the most problems when broken is that if you have carburetor problems, that it isn't the carburetor at all but something in the ignition system. There are four carburetors to set up, tune, and balance. It takes someone who really knows what they are doing to set it up and generally, as long as you keep the fuel system clean and drive the car to keep old fuel accumulations from building up, they stay pretty well tuned. Messing with it without fully checking the ignition system first does nothing but make it so you need to start the entire process over again. I would add though, that if Ferrari didn't have to detune the engine itself to meet emissions rules, the fuel injected cars should have been not only more reliable but faster as well as a well set up fuel injection system is a much more perfect way to keep peak fueling accuracy in varying conditions than carburetors ever could hope to be!
Alex pretty much covered the approach to the carb version, that being said the car still drives fantastically and has been fairly reliable. Since the goal isn't a track car but rather collecting a fine example of a 308, it does the job pretty well. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Really good presentation. Liked hearing points of view from both sexes. Well done, keep it up. Really nice car, particularly the front end and the interior.
Thanks so much for your comment! It's so great to have Alex and Amy showcasing their collection because you get such great points of view and overlapping areas of expertise and enthusiasm. We wanted to mix up the typical car review genre a bit with this awesome husband and wife team. If there's anything we can do better with each episode, please do let us know, we want to build this into something everyone will enjoy!
Ferrari certainly continued the same attitude when our 550 Maranello was built as well. 24 years on and the steering column still has no adjustabililty.
Definitely very similar! We also have an MGA Mk2 coupe in the collection and the door handles are a particularly elegant touch on that particularly elegant car. I haven't seen anything similar predating the MGA coupe, but Ferrari also used a beautifully elegand vertical door handle on the early Dinos.
I love your videos. You all do an amazing job. I am interested where you got your mirrors on the 308. I have a 308 and am looking to change the mirrors to the euro style like you have.
The mirrors are made by Vitaloni. I acquired them from a fellow 308 owner who lives locally to me and had them as spares for his car. They replaced the horrible aftermarket mirrors that had been fitted to my car when I got it.
We're so glad that you're joining us! Definitely let us know if there's anything we can improve, we're still working on the format of our videos but think we're already on to something special. Looks like Alex already mentioned the mirrors, let us know if you have any more questions!
Great video with high production values but to me the one glaring fault is when the music comes on throughout the video it is much louder than the rest of the video and as a non gen X'er this made it hard to watch.
Thanks for chiming in! We're still new to the overall process so we're working on making sure that our audio and visual quality matches our vision. We're still sorting out a few audio bugs, thanks for sticking with us while we do!
Eagerly awaiting an episode where we get a closeup inset of Amy's knitting with a Ravelry pattern link :)
I forsee a special knitting episode of E2E in the future... ;)

Alex pretty much covered the approach to the carb version, that being said the car still drives fantastically and has been fairly reliable. Since the goal isn't a track car but rather collecting a fine example of a 308, it does the job pretty well. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Really good presentation. Liked hearing points of view from both sexes. Well done, keep it up.
Really nice car, particularly the front end and the interior.
Thanks so much for your comment! It's so great to have Alex and Amy showcasing their collection because you get such great points of view and overlapping areas of expertise and enthusiasm. We wanted to mix up the typical car review genre a bit with this awesome husband and wife team. If there's anything we can do better with each episode, please do let us know, we want to build this into something everyone will enjoy!
"...buy a Porsche." 😂
Absolutely the best line
Ferrari certainly continued the same attitude when our 550 Maranello was built as well. 24 years on and the steering column still has no adjustabililty.
Yess, they are so beautiful - but you really can't beat rosso corsa - (especially with leather crema nero like mine....))
Want to come to Oregon and film it? ;)
I love that it is not red. Exterior door handle a blatant copy of MGA coupe.
Definitely very similar! We also have an MGA Mk2 coupe in the collection and the door handles are a particularly elegant touch on that particularly elegant car. I haven't seen anything similar predating the MGA coupe, but Ferrari also used a beautifully elegand vertical door handle on the early Dinos.
We're all about that vertical door handle life
I love your videos. You all do an amazing job. I am interested where you got your mirrors on the 308. I have a 308 and am looking to change the mirrors to the euro style like you have.
The mirrors are made by Vitaloni. I acquired them from a fellow 308 owner who lives locally to me and had them as spares for his car. They replaced the horrible aftermarket mirrors that had been fitted to my car when I got it.
We're so glad that you're joining us! Definitely let us know if there's anything we can improve, we're still working on the format of our videos but think we're already on to something special. Looks like Alex already mentioned the mirrors, let us know if you have any more questions!
great vid! Thx for showing us around the car :)
We're so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching, we're glad you're along for the ride!
Great video with high production values but to me the one glaring fault is when the music comes on throughout the video it is much louder than the rest of the video and as a non gen X'er this made it hard to watch.
Thanks for chiming in! We're still new to the overall process so we're working on making sure that our audio and visual quality matches our vision. We're still sorting out a few audio bugs, thanks for sticking with us while we do!
@@Everyday2Exotic Your off to a good start, the drone shots in the driving part of the video are a great touch.
