Dust off your Detroit Tigers hat, get your Aloha shirts out of the wardrobe and beg your dad for his Rolex, because your shortcut to automotive badassery has arrived: Magnum PI"s Ferrari.We realise, of course, that a solid chunk of you aren"t old enough to understand any of these references, let alone what a Magnum PI is, or how it pertains to Ferraris. Suffice to say that Magnum PI was a television institution in the 1980s, where Tom Selleck, the owner of a glorious moustache (and probably some other credentials) drove around the Hawaiian island of Oahu in a Ferrari, wearing a Rolex GMT Master, solving the problems of beautiful women whenever he felt like it.And, to us at least, this is basically paradise. And a little slice of that paradise one of the actual 308 GTS Quattrovalvoles driven by Mr Magnum himself is up for auction at Bonhams" Scottsdale auction on the 19th of January. Cue visions of top-down cruising on sun-drenched islands. Fans of the show most of whom are likely knee-deep in a mortgage by now will note that the QV was actually the third 308 GTS to feature, after early seasons used the GTS and GTSi.
