The iconic red 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS driven by Tom Selleck in his role as Thomas Magnum is set to cross the auction block. RM Sotheby's announced it will offer the car during its Monaco sale on May 10, 2026. The vehicle is a central piece of television history, featured throughout the show's debut season in 1980.
According to the auction house, this specific Ferrari 308 GTS, chassis number 29231, was used for all driving scenes in the first season after the pilot episode. It was later sold by the production company in the mid-1980s. The car has since been part of a private collection and has undergone a comprehensive restoration to its original 'Magnum P.I.' specification.
The auction listing confirms the car retains its correct Rosso Chiaro paintwork and tan leather interior. It is accompanied by extensive documentation, including its Ferrari Classiche certification and provenance file. Pre-auction estimates for the vehicle have not been publicly disclosed.
