The story of the 1989 Ferrari that has never been driven It is a Ferrari 328 GTS auctioned off by Sotheby's for almost $70.000

Through the archives of Sotheby’s, one of the most important auction houses in the world based in the UK, there is an example of a Ferrari that has already made history. It is a Ferrari 328 GTS that comes straight from 1989 and that has never been registered, never driven nor exposed to the weather elements. The car is immaculate: its Rosso Corsa paintwork gleams as its first day, you can still smell the gorgeous perfume of unblemished Crema leather and it comes complete with delivery stickers affixed to the driver’s side front wheel, alongside protective plastic covers on the inner sills. Furthermore, the car features its original accessories: original Goodyear tyres and an unused tool kit, within a red Prancing Horse logoed bag. More than three decades after its production, the supercar saw the light one more time in the past few months and was sold on February 25th, 2020 at a Sotheby’s auction for 66.125 €. 

“This is likely to be one of the finest 328 GTS models in existence, worthy of the attention of even the most discerning collector”, you can read on the official Sotheby's website. More than a simple car, in fact, it looks like a time machine, or rather a machine for which time never passed. The sports car is genuine: in more than 30 years, the car comes with less than 500 kilometres on the odometer and every detail looks exactly as it was when it left the fabric.

The 328 GTS was a popular car that, today, is still well-loved and well-used by enthusiastic owners. Thirty years later after its release, this sample of the supercar is almost a piece of art that should be exposed in a museum.
