Ferrari Mondial 1987
General description :
Offered up for sale here is a 1987 Ferrari Mondial. Getting its name from the classic 1950’s race-car the Mondial is Ferrari’s last V8 Mid engined 2+2. First released in 1980 with a smaller 3.0 litre engine which was later updated to the larger and more powerful 3.2 litre engine in 1985. Production of the 3.2 ended in 1988 with only 987 cars believed to of ever left the factory. Being a pre 1988 vehicle the drivtrain is shared with the earlier 308. This means that vital service items can be be carried out without having to completely remove the engine and gearbox. The Mondial must be one of the most underappreciated vehicles in the car market today and offers tremendous value for money. A 1980’s mid engined Ferrari for under £40,000 is unheard of.
This particular car is presented in Argento Nurburg Silver, with a Nero Black full Leather interior. A timing belt and inspection service was carried out in November 2015 by a leading Surrey-based Ferrari specialist at a cost of £2,000. The car has covered very limited mileage since this date whilst being dry stored. Before leaving our workshop the car will be serviced and inspected once again. This Mondial coupe is an import from the extremely car friendly climate of Japan, The vehicle is complete with the more popular Ferrari 348 wheels, a chirpy but not overloud Sports Exhaust and an Original Leather service pouch. With a mere 37,400 miles on the clock the car is barely run in and ready for the open road. The folder included has several Japanese maintenance records from throughout the vehicles life.
This Ferrari is ready to be enjoyed and used. A rare low mileage 3.2 coupe in very original condition. The car looks and goes just as it should, the Ferrari V8 power plant provides plenty of power and the car holds the road just as any Italian sports car should!

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
