1989 Ferrari 328 GTS Targa
Registration no. G898 PDV
Chassis no. XFFWA20C000081552
Engine no. 17852
• Present ownership since 2007
• Maintained regardless of cost
• Extensive hisotry from new
• Beautiful condition
The vendor - owner of a garage specialising in high-performance and luxury makes - purchased this Ferrari 328 GTS on 13th March 2007, the selling dealer having fitted a new clutch. The Ferrari was delivered to his private workshop in Tunbridge Wells, Kent where a major service was carried out including cam belts and tensioner bearings. The car was then put into storage while the owner and his wife went sailing around the world.
In 2008 the car had an MoT and a minor service. Upon returning to the UK in 2009, the vendor changed the cam belts, carried out a service, replaced the control cables and fitted a stainless steel sports exhaust. In 2010 the owners left the UK to continue their around-the-world sailing trip. The car was monitored during this time, having lubrication services and MoTs carried out. By May 2011 it had covered fewer than 640 miles.
In 2012 the Ferrari received a service including changing cam belts. The car continued having annual engine oil and filter and lubrication services at the MoT anniversaries. In 2015 the cam belts were changed again together with the driveshaft boots. In 2018 the cam belts were changed at the yearly service, while the 2019 annual service included fitting a new HT cap and rotor arm. Tappet clearances were checked and found to be OK.
In 2020 the cam belts and water pump were changed and a major service carried out in preparation for a journey from Bilbao to Valencia in Spain. In 2021 the vendor replaced the brake accumulator kit and brake hoses with later armoured type, and fitted new brake pads.
At the 2022 service a minor oil leak was spotted and the necessary parts to cure it ordered from the UK. New handbrake shoes were fitted also. In 2023 the cam belts, tensioner wheels and one distributor shaft oil seal were replaced. In 2021, 2022 and 2023 the car had ITV (MoT) inspections in Spain. The current odometer reading is 37,947 miles (see below).
In 1995 an intermittent speedometer fault had been noted. An invoice from Lancaster (on file) confirms the speedometer was running continuously and flattening the battery. The car was collected by Lancaster and under an extended warranty claim a new speedometer and battery was fitted. The mileage when the speedometer was removed was 11,503. So, taking this into account, 11,503 should be added to the indicated mileage, meaning the actual total is 49,450.
Regrettably, the car is now for sale as an injury prevents the vendor from driving it.
