1983 Ferrari Other Mondial

I've owned this car since March 2022 and prior to myself many friends in the Ferrari Club of NZ have also owned it and still fondly talk about it at our regular meetings. I've got a large car collection and I'm well known to meticulously look after all my cars and this one is no exception. It gets maintained by Auto Restorations Christchurch and it has recently had over $16,000 spent replacing the AC system. Just had a new 1y WOF. Comes with the factory wheels and tyres + a set of 4 235/45/R17 incase you prefer not to use the metrics.

The Ferrari Mondial was built by Ferrari from May 1980 to 1993. Its name comes from the successful Mondial 500 race cars of the 1950's. Its first incarnation was the Mondial 8. This one, the Mondial QV was produced from 1982 to 1986. The QV addition denotes Quattrovalvole, or 4 valves per cylinder. It is a transverse mid-engined, rear wheel drive V8 powered 2+2seater coupe. It employs the same V8 engine as the Ferrari 308 of the same period.

This car is one of only 152 right hand drive Mondial QV's to be produced.

The Mondial 8 replaced the Bertone styled 208/308 GT4 as the small 4 seater in the Ferrari line up. Styled by Pininfarina, it's sweeping lines replaced the boxier styling of the earlier model. Through its 13 year evolution there were 4 model variations including a very popular cabriolet. The original engine displacement grew in 1985 from 3 litres to 3.2 and in the final version of the car, the Mondial T, a 3.4 litre unit was installed north / south with a transversely mounted transmission, the T in the name denoting transverse. This was the same engine / transmission configuration as the Formula One cars of the time and has persisted to this day for all the mid engined designs. The 1993 Mondial T was the last example of a 4 seater mid engined Ferrari. There have been other 4 seaters but none with a mid-engined layout. Over the 13 years in production, 6884 cars carrying the Mondial badge were produced.
