Lot 116: 1985 Ferrari Mondial

The Mondial was conceived as the replacement for the 308 GT4 which was the first mid-engined V8 2+2 Berlinetta from Ferrari. Pininfarina were given the difficult task of designing a more stylish and practical body, and indeed they had to ask Ferrari if it was possible to increase the wheelbase by 100mm to improve passenger comfort without being detrimental to the roadholding. The final result made its debut at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, and took the name "Mondial" from a Ferrari 2 litre sports/race car from the early 1950s. The Mondial offered here is finished in blue with cream and red interior and is described by the vendor to be in very good condition. The car comes with the now rare tool kit and has and has an extensive service history, totalling 2 folders worth of bills and receipts. The last service was carried out 30 miles ago where cam belts, seals, tensioners, cam rings were replaced or inspected. With an MoT valid until July of this year, this well maintained example will provide its new owner with a trouble free Ferrari experience.
