Introduction
Isaac Wass
The Mondial is a lovely example of more practical motoring from Ferrari, with a mid-engined V8 and classic Pininfarina design, this is well presented and ready for its future owner.
It was the first new Ferrari of the 80s, finding its place in between the 308 GTS and 400i, the car was seen as full four-seater with genuine concessions to practicality. The Mondial came with a proven engine and the promise of relatively low-cost maintenance, thanks to the sensible approach to the structural design of the car. The mid-engined V8 Mondial was always well regarded for its handling, with the much improved Quattrovalvole version denoting that it had four valves per cylinder, giving the car a much-needed performance improvement over the initial models. As the name implies, the Mondial (meaning 'World' in Italian) was Ferrari's attempt to produce a world car, to meet regulations across the global markets but most importantly it was a Ferrari that was specifically designed to be easy to drive. The combination of the styling cues from the older BB and side vents that would soon become a distinctive feature of future Ferrari's, although the styling has always divided opinion. However, like any Ferrari, the engine is the heart of the Mondial. As build quality improved, along with the drivability and ride quality of the Mondial, the car should be seen as a perfect introduction for Ferrari newbies.
The Mondial comes to market after being initially purchased as a recommission project. It holds remarkably low mileage for its age with ~20,310 on the clock and has benefitted from being dry stored for the majority of its life. The car is in really great condition which is reflected through the gallery and video sections in the listing below, one of the only major jobs needing to be done being a refresh of suspension. If you are in the market for a beautifully classic car or have a love of Ferrari, this model is worth a close look as you'll be hard pushed to find an example that looks as good as this one does.
This listing was written from information supplied by Isaac after meeting Don the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
