If its a targa roof version its a GTS, otherwise it will be a GTB, but I remember in the opening credits, the cheesy grin from Tom sat in the car with the roof off, therefore I reckon its a 308 GTS.

Never heard of that, thought it was 308GTB as well.

Saw the actual car at the Scottish Motor Show, pics were posted but the uploaders gone now so no point giving you the link.

side note:
If you ever want to know how someone did something fancy in a post, such as clickable url, quotations, different smilies etc try editing the post in question.
You won't be able to submit the changes (unless you are a moderator) but you will see how they did it.

Ferrari - Magnum PI
This long running TV series, originally screen in 1980, made the actor Tom Selleck a major star. The plot for the series revolved around the adventures of an ex-Vietnam war veteran turned private eye. Magnum lives at the Hawaian home of a wealthy writer and drives a fabulous Ferrari. The 308 GTSi, to give it its proper name is powered by a 3 litre V8 producing 250bhp. The car on display is the actual Ferrari used in the series
