This 1985 Ferrari 328 GTB combines an exceptionally low, documented mileage of just 27,121 kilometres with extensive documentation and a long-standing Austrian history. The car was sold as a young used vehicle by the then Austrian Ferrari general importer Denzel to an architect and entered the current collection around ten years ago with 27,030 guaranteed kilometres. The original invoice, owner's wallet, all available service records and the Austrian individual approval issued by the general importer are present and have been inspected. Matching Numbers and Matching Colors have also been confirmed; in 2025, the Ferrari received a service including a new timing belt.
The Ferrari 328 GTB belongs to a generation of mid-engined Ferraris in which the mechanical aspects were still an immediate part of the driving experience. A compact V8, a manual five-speed gearbox, rear-wheel drive and comparatively purist controls define its character. Its design combines the classic wedge shape of this Ferrari generation with softer transitions and integrated bumpers.
The 328 GTB is powered by a 3,185 cm³ V8 producing 270 hp (199 kW). Unlike the open GTS, which featured a removable roof section, the GTB is a closed coupé. According to the available vehicle documents, only 1,344 examples of the 328 GTB were produced between 1985 and 1989. This relatively low production number is an additional aspect of its appeal to collectors today.
The Ferrari is presented in the classic combination of red over beige leather. The available photographs show the characteristic low silhouette of the 328 GTB with its closed roofline, pop-up headlights, black exterior details and typical side air intakes. According to the inspected documentation, the exterior colour corresponds to the vehicle's verified original colour configuration.
The photographs convey a well-kept and cohesive overall impression. However, they do not provide a reliable basis for statements regarding paint thickness, possible previous partial paintwork or accident-free status; no further substantiated information is available on these points. There is also no separate condition or valuation report.
Inside, the red bodywork meets beige leather – a colour combination closely associated with the classic appearance of a Ferrari from this era. The photographs show the driver-focused cockpit with analogue instrumentation, a black dashboard and the central mechanical gearshift typical of a manual Ferrari.
The beige leather upholstery has been verified as Matching Colors. Together with the owner's wallet and the available documentation, it contributes to the consistent overall picture of this unusually lightly driven example.
Behind the seats sits the 3.2-litre V8 producing 270 hp. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a manual five-speed gearbox. The VIN is ZFFWA19B000061003, while the engine designation is listed as 484 in the vehicle documentation. Matching Numbers have been confirmed based on the inspected documents.
Maintenance deserves particular attention with a Ferrari that has seen little use. Although the vehicle covered only a few kilometres during the past approximately ten years, it was reportedly started regularly and used for short movement drives. The timing belt was replaced as a precaution. Most recently, in 2025, the Ferrari received a service including a new timing belt.
In July 2026, the Ferrari was started and driven again without any problems. It is currently not registered and is listed in the data as not roadworthy. The successful recent test run should not be equated with an independent condition assessment; no separate report is available.
The Austrian history of this 328 GTB is particularly well documented. As a young used car, it was sold by the then Austrian Ferrari general importer Denzel to an architect who was acquainted with the current owner. The associated documentation has been inspected.
Around ten years ago, the Ferrari entered the current collection with 27,030 guaranteed kilometres. It was not registered to the collector and was driven only very sparingly. The current data records 27,121 kilometres. This means that only around 90 kilometres were added during this lengthy period in the collection.
This mileage progression is particularly noteworthy because it does not stand alone as a low odometer reading, but is supported by the original invoice, owner's wallet and service documentation. For assessing a Ferrari of this generation, such documentary continuity is of considerable importance.
The vehicle comes with the original invoice, original owner's wallet, all available service records and the Austrian individual approval issued by the general importer. The documents have been inspected and confirm the key details concerning the car's history and mileage.
Even during its limited use in the collection, the timing belt was replaced as a precaution. The most recent documented service, including the timing belt replacement, dates from 2025. Matching Numbers and Matching Colors have been confirmed. No separate condition or valuation report is available.
A Ferrari 328 GTB is already a distinctive representative of the marque thanks to its classic combination of a mid-mounted V8, manual transmission and closed coupé body. This example adds an unusually low and traceable mileage: 27,121 kilometres, of which only around 90 kilometres were covered during the past ten years in the current collection.
The accompanying documentation is crucial. The original invoice, owner's wallet, service history, Austrian individual approval, Matching Numbers and Matching Colors provide the car with a well-supported identity. The timing belt replaced in 2025 is also an important point given the vehicle's limited use. Combined with its Austrian history and classic colour combination, the result is a 328 GTB whose collector appeal lies above all in its mileage, documentation and traceable specification.
The 328 GTB has virtually everything that makes a classic Ferrari appealing: a V8 right behind the driver, five manual gears and a body that looks fast even when standing still. With this car, however, I find the number 27,121 almost as interesting as the 270 hp. More importantly, that figure does not stand alone; it is supported by remarkably comprehensive documentation. A Ferrari that appears to have been deliberately preserved – without forgetting to keep up with timing-belt maintenance.
