1987 FERRARI MONDIAL 3.2 CABRIOLET
EU Registered
Chassis No. ZFFUD148000064417
Engine No. 1137
Rosso red with black leather interior
Engine: V8, twin overhead camshafts, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, 3,185cc, 270bhp at 7,000rpm; Gearbox: five speed manual; Suspension: independent front and rear with wishbones, coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers; Brakes: hydraulic disc all-round. Left hand drive.
The Mondial, meaning 'world' is one of the few Ferrari models to have a non-numerical title, borrowing its name from that of the four cylinder sports racing cars of the 1950s. Introduced in March 1980 after being launched in Geneva, the Mondial for the 1980s was powered by a 3 litre V8 and served as a replacement for the 308 GT4. Similarly it was of 2+2 configuration, though styling like the other contemporary models was entrusted to Pinin Farina.
A larger car than its predecessor, it provided much more comfort for its passengers and was equipped with Connolly leather upholstery, air conditioning, central locking and electrically adjustable mirrors as standard.
Primarily to serve the demanding North American market, Ferrari decided to build a convertible variant of the Mondial. First seen in 1983, the initial model utilised the 240bhp Quattrovalvole engine and when production ceased in 1985 in excess of 600 had been delivered. For the 1986 model year it was decided to improve and update the Mondial; the engine capacity was increased to 3,185cc and power rose significantly to 270bhp, visually the car was transformed by the fitment of (larger) 16" alloy wheels.
One of just 251 examples, this Mondial cabriolet was displayed on the Ferrari stand at the 1987 Dutch Motor show prior to being sold to the first owner W.B.T. Van Kooten. The second (current) owner acquired the car in 1989 via Garage Prominent in Eindhoven when the vehicle had covered 28,000kms. Whilst in current ownership a mere 1,000kms has been added, despite this the car has been fully maintained throughout and importantly it received a cambelt service in June 2002 by Ferrari agents Forza. Described in 'as new' condition, this excellent convertible Ferrari is accompanied by a generous history file and is highly recommended indeed.
