1982 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole, Argento Metallizzato For Sale

Tipo 108 was introduced in 1980 with a glorious model name drawn from Alberto Ascari's 1950s championship victories. The Mondial was the second and last Grand Touring 4-passenger Ferrari with a mid mounted V8 engine layout. Interestingly, it strenghtened the Ferrari-Pininfarina alliance that was challenged through Ferrari's prior collaboration with Bertone on the 308 GT4. Pininfarina's Fioravanti restored strealined curves to its boxy predecessor to match the design theme of the concurrently offered 308 GTS and GTB. He also introduced the louvre grille trademark pattern on the trunk lid, engine lid and side air intakes that was later to be used in the Testarossa and 348. The Dino 206 V6-based V8 3, 0lt engine was also carried over unchanged from the 308 GT4 predecessor. However, to counteract the heavier body with enhanced power output, Ferrari added 2 valves per cylinder into a Quattrovalvole motor that was to be also used in the 308 GTS and GTB. Three years later its capacity was raised to 3. 2 lt and thereon to 3. 4lt in the Mondial t version. Despite the formidable revisions on the very last Mondial t version, marque enthusiasts consider the Quattrovalvole as the purest of the breed for its cable-free gear selection, transmission housing integral to the engine and abscence of power steering, ABS and convex wheels. Furthermore the QV retains an engine, transmission and rear suspension layout that facilitates engine access for maintenance and repairs.
The Mondial Quattrovalvole offered was produced in 1982 for the Italian market in Argento Metallizzato over Fawn Connoly leather interior. In 2013 it was sourced with 64, 000 km in Northern Italy by Belgian Classic Ferrari Specialists L'Officina. In 2018 it was acquired and stored in Athens, Greece as part of a private collection. It now presents in a highly original condition with only 65743 km and certified by FIVA of Greece.
