DESCRIPTION
Much has been said about the Ferrari Mondial, in print and on television but the facts speak for themselves, it was the most commercially successful Ferrari of all time. It was designed by Pininfarina to convey four people at speed and in luxury and to become the marque's first usable supercar since the 330 2+2 of the 1960s. Many of the Mondial's design features were to be used in legendary Ferrari classics such as the Testarossa, and it remains to this day an icon of form and function. The 1984 Mondial Quattrovalvole we have here has the benefit of being one of the last models to be made prior to the Mondial's later engine amalgamation with the 328. The 3.0 V8 churned out a respectable 240bhp at launch coupled with a glorious soundtrack. Of the 1,145 coupé QVs built between 1982 and 1984, just 152 were in right hand drive, with fewer still finding themselves on British roads. This example has an odometer reading of 29,000 miles and the history file boasts receipts and MoTs dating back to 1997. Under the current vendors ownership the cambelts and idler bearings were changed in January 2013. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine, gearbox and rear suspension assembly is on a detachable steel subframe. This design made engine removal for mechanical works far easier, meaning lower mechanic's bills compared to other Ferraris of this era. The car further benefits from a new stainless steel exhaust system. Featuring the later 3.2 bumper, the car presents well today, and it is believed by the owner that the Mondial benefitted from a bare metal respray at some stage. The alloy wheels look in great shape and there is some five months to run on the MoT. The tan Connolly hide interior, a feature of the Mondial's luxury cruiser status shows little if any wear, seemingly corroborating the odometer reading. The car has attended many car shows and events, holding its own amongst best of breed examples of much higher value. Ferrari is rightly regarded as the pinnacle of style and engineering and as a brand the classic car market adores it. With prices continuing to head north, an opportunity to own an example made by the best at Maranello will be rare in the future at this price level.
