How about this for a winter project? This is certainly the cheapest you will ever see a factory Ferrari Cabriolet on sale for! This is a 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3. 2 Cabriolet finished in Black with Grey leather interior. She has covered 64k Miles from new with a Full Service History, although, as you can see, is now in need of restoration. But what great value?
Derived from the 308GT4 of 1973, which was the only production Ferrari not to have been penned by Pininfarina but by Bertone, the Mondial 8 was essentially a made-over 308GT4, but with Pininfarian-styled body and a longer wheelbase. It was the Maranello firm's first attempt at producing a 'world car' model and, to meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements of so many export markets, the famous 3-liter V8 engine had to be fuel-injected. A cleaner engine resulted in a loss of power and torque however. Happily for red-blooded Ferrari fans though, these vital statistics were restored with the introduction of the Quattrovalvole (4-valve) engine which became an option from the 1982 model year onwards. 1983 saw the introduction of a cabriolet version, the first soft-top Ferrari had made since the Daytona Spider. While in 1985, the Mondial engine was enlarged to 3. 2 liters, resulting in increased power output and improved torque.
This is believed to be one of only 57 right hand drive examples of this model made worldwide and it comes with its original matching numbers 3. 2 litre V8 engine and gearbox. This rare Italian sports car is in need of complete restoration, but when a battery was connected the windows worked and dashboard lights came on! It has been off the road for about 18 years and the engine was removed some years ago to repair the sub frame, and the car is still very rusty in the usual places. The previous owner has had the car for nearly 20 years and It comes with all handbooks, service book which is stamped by a mixture of main dealerships and specialists up to 59, 885 miles. There is a huge history folder with all original correspondence including purchase invoice! It also has its original wallet with Ferrari logo on it for all the books, original PDI certificate, a file with many old invoices and two sets of keys. This presents a great project, is there another in the world? and will once finished, provide the next owner with many years of pleasurable driving in one of Italy’s finest. The car is HPI clear with a great history so when finished will be a valuable car once again. It is worth the asking price in parts alone and you could simply put it away as a project for a rainy day, anyway, how much fun would this be to put back together?
