I believe the car featured in the "Flashback" episode was a 1936 Alfa-Romeo 2900MM Corsa Spider. Although Ferrari was founded in 1929, the company didn't start producing it's own vehicles until 1947. Prior to that, Ferrari customized Alfa-Romeos for racing.

No, Robin Masters owned the Ferrari
Sometimes he drove the Ferrari, but Higgins usually drove the Audi.

One of the Ferrari 308's from the first few seasons is on display at the Peterson museum in Los Angeles Ca.
Magnum's red Ferrari had three different license plates: it started out with 56E-478, then was switched to 308GTSI, and ended up with ROBIN-1.thatz sooo cool hoo iz magnum??? hehehe
Magnum PI
1977
Old Dusseldorf
Magnum's PI license plate, "ROBIN-1," refers to Robin Masters, the fictitious author and owner of the Hawaiian estate where Thomas Magnum lives and works as a private investigator. The name signifies Magnum's close association with Masters, as he often drives the Ferrari 308 GTS belonging to him. The "1" in the plate indicates that it is the first vehicle associated with Robin Masters, emphasizing Magnum's unique role in the story. This clever choice adds depth to the character dynamics and the show's setting.
His car is not a Ferrari. That was Magnum PI. He had two cars on the show. First was a Corvette that was stolen and crashed on live TV and the other was a classic Mustang that was blown up by a bomb.
