1990 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet

This is a superb original UK, right-hand drive, 3.4-litre, Mondial 'T' Cabriolet supplied new to its first owner by HR Owen on the 19th of January, 1990. One thousand and ten Mondial T Cabriolets were built altogether with only 51 in right-hand drive and 26 manuals, making this example very rare indeed.

The expression "no expense spared" appears to be appropriate, with over £25,000 lavished on the car since 2015. In May 2015 it was sent to QV London Ltd. in Windsor and apart from a full service and cambelt change, it looks as though they were asked to deal with every single thing the car needed. They obviously went through the car thoroughly as the invoice for just short of £7,000 suggests. When QV had sorted the Ferrari mechanically, a move to Thames Valley Repairs in Maidenhead was on the agenda and there, over the following months, a further £12,000 was spent on the car's coachwork including a quality respray. The original Crema interior trim has been restored and the windscreen was replaced at this point (£3,000). Since then the expenditure has continued with a new factory roof being fitted and the front lower valance and sill plates replaced and painted. All the invoices for the above are available for your inspection.

The odometer currently indicates 14,400 miles, which our vendor believes to be accurate, but the service record sadly has been lost so we are unable to substantiate this, however, there is a lot of additional history with the car. There are consecutive MOT Certificates from February 2008 when the mileage was 11,072 and the car has covered an average of around 500 miles a year since then, so it should be possible to take a view.

This must be one of the lowest mileage and best-presented Mondials around, and fully serviced, restored and just MOT'd, this cracking cabriolet is ready for action. With values of these comfortable and approachable Ferraris hardening over recent years, this may be an excellent chance to enjoy top-down Ferrari motoring on a sensible budget.
