THE FERRARI MONDIAL

Ferrari's first effort at building a car suitable for markets throughout the world, the Mondial deployed the 308GT4's 3.0-liter quad-cam V8 engine in a lengthened version of the latter's chassis. Transmission and running gear remained much the same, with five-speed transaxle and independent suspension all round. Although reckoned by some to be less sporting than other Ferraris, the Mondial was still good for 225km/h-plus and its ride quality and comfort scored over long distances. In 1982, Ferrari introduced the Mondial QV, which, as the name implies, increased the number of valves to 4 per cylinder. This much needed boost of performance increased the output to a respectable 240 horsepower. Production of the model lasted until 1985 with 1,145 examples leaving the gates in Maranello. A mere 69 QV's made their way onto North American shores making them a rare sight today.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

For some, the brand's Rossa Corsa red is the only way in which to order a Ferrari's exterior. For others willing to break the mold, they will find that the delicate lines of the prancing horse's offerings are sometimes better treated distinct tones.

The deep blue Mondial QV coupe offered here serves as one just example. Having been delivered new to Florida in the treatment still found on the vehicle today, the remainder of the 1980's is where the majority of the mileage had been accrued. Since the 90's less than 10,000 miles have been placed onto the odometer, all the while being preserved well by its caring owners. In its most recent stint, the vehicle has been enjoyed by a Texas based enthusiast who has treated the motor to the prerequisite belt service in 2016. As such, the Mondial can be reported to be in good running order and should serve its next owner well. Furthermore, the car will come complete with service files dating back to the 90's, the original owner's manual, and sales brochure.

The perfect entry point into the world of the cavallino rampante, the QV's singing V8 engine, gated transmission, and supple leather interior treat's its operator to all the fine qualities the Ferrari brand has built its reputation on.
