If you restored, raced, and collected Ferraris, which would be your favorite? John Pogson is all those things, and his answer may surprise you. Shot by www.autocreative.tv
In 1984 I purchased a 1979 Ferrari 308gt4 #15234 in Rosso Chiaro & Light Tan Leather int., Sunroof & Rear Window Defroster! At 5 yrs. old & only 7k+ orig. miles it was almost new!
I always revisit this video every so often - so many perfectly articulated reasons why owning and driving an older Ferrari is so special. The Bertone design is just so achingly beautiful and is from a time where car design was dare-I-say-it classy compared to today - this car absolutely is a work of art both inside and out.
This video put chills up my spine. As a GT4 owner for 40 years, I share John's passion for this beautiful piece of automotive history. So many of John's comments hit a chord with me. The best one was the ugly duckling is now a beautiful swan. This car is so much fun to drive and like a number of cars from the past, it represents a lost age of driving pleasure
I love seeing these stories told by John Pogson.What a great storyteller. It's rare to hear a man convey his passion while staying humble. Especially in the Ferrari world. Please keep these Pogson Chronicles coming.. As a Drive "fan", I appreciate all the hard work you guys do. What you do differentl, is provide a hip and refreshing view into the ever growing automotive culture, with a huge variety of content, there's something to stimulate enthusiasts from all walks. To me, this is the way automotive journalism was meant to to presented. And it's appreciated.
I completely agree once u find a vehicle that u vibe with like no other or find plenty of vehicles that carry a specific engine that u know what it truly sounds like by just tinkering with the exhaust that's a match made in heaven.
I very much agree.. years ago i passed a car restoration shop daily, on my way to work, and every day i would look inside to get a glance of that beautiful Dino 308 Gt4 they were restoring at the time.. it was a thing of beauty to me, even though i had not much to wish for.. as i was driving a Matra Murena at that time..
I bought one new in 1978 from Becker in Dusseldorf ,I drove it and treated it like a normal car ,I never had any problems. Since I have owned many Ferraris including Testers, The 308 GT4 outmatched
I cant think of a better car to drive the Wood head and Snake pass in than a 308 of some kind. I like the gold Compomotives, the side view a minute into the video with those wheels lend it a Stratos in a business suit type of look. Great video of a fantastic car. I've subscribed of course.
Google him, Ferrari has been his whole life. Once you know his story you can understand where he's coming from. I would of loved to had have this guys life.
I had never ever heard of one of these. There is something about it. It's not overdone like so many cars are. Very beautiful car with a great noise! And it does look quite Stratos.
I used to ive near the workshop & remember seeing lots of different Ferraris going by. This one is a great car, the only 2 I would pick over it are the 288GTO & 512BB.

This guy gets it 100%! Truer words are rarely spoken.
One of the best episodes so far! Grabbed the essence of why anyone is passionate about cars and wrung every last drop out of it.
Very well spoken and passionate guy.

I can't even envy John Pogson for having that car (and that job). The guy just so obviously appreciates what he has.

Another John Pogson gem! I could listen to him tell his stories all day.

I owned a 308 in the 80s I loved the 2+2. Wish I had it back
