Launched at the 1980 Geneva Auto Salon, the Mondial was the first Ferrari to depart from the companys familiar three-digit naming scheme and its name was inspired by their famous Mondial sports-racers from the fifties. The Mondial saw Ferrari return to Pininfarina as its choice of styling house, and it was sold as a mid-sized coupé and, eventually, a cabriolet. Conceived as a 'more usable' model, offering the practicality of four seats with the performance of a mid-range Ferrari and hopefully attracting a slightly wider audience than their traditionally more focused two-seaters. The car was not built as a monocoque in a conventional way, but instead, the steel outer body was produced by the famous Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Scaglietti, just down the road in nearby Modena and clothed a lightweight steel box-section space frame. The Mondial was the first Ferrari where the entire engine/gearbox/rear suspension assembly was mounted on a detachable steel sub-frame, making engine removal for a major rebuild or cylinder head removal much easier than it had been on earlier models.

Introduced in 1989, the Ferrari Mondial 3.4 T was the 'spearhead for a new generation of V8 Ferraris' and the final version of the Mondial. The 'T' was a reference to the new engine and transmission layout that now saw the engine mounted longitudinally with the gearbox transverse (forming a T), a characteristic of their Formula 1 '312T' which had just won the 1989 World Championship. This set-up would become the standard for all future mid-engined V8 Ferraris beginning with the 348 and continuing through to the 360.

This exquisite Mondial rolled off the Ferrari production line in 1992 and was sent straight to Ferrari Import Kroymans, Hilversum, Netherlands. From here it was delivered to its first owner who was in the property business in Amsterdam. Our vendor subsequently purchased the car for his private collection, which included other Italian Sportscars.

Offered in Rosso Corsa with a black leather interior, this Mondial comes complete with leather book pack, tool roll with a full complement of tools, and a comprehensive history file. Despite having covered a tiny mileage, there are 14 service invoices on file including the PDI on 06/04/1992 when a car alarm, a Sony Radio/CD player, and car mats were fitted. On the 6th of October 2014, with the odometer indicating 2,088 km, the invoice details “Cambelts and tensioners change, fuel cap change, oil and filter change”.

Extremely presentable, low mileage, well-documented Mondials, like this one, rarely come to market, and in the wake of recent increases in Mondial values, this is an opportunity to own a fast appreciating classic in factory fresh condition.
