Nope...at least not that I have ever seen. Check out mine to see what it looks like topless. http://server.ferrarichat.com/~ferrari/ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/18/6810.html?1014959268 You may be referring to the Tonneau cover that was a rare option, it fits on the car when parked to keep bird droppings etc out. This is a parking only atachment though... - JMG | ||

15 & 30k servicing runs all over the map...best to call a local shop and ask what an estimate would be assuming no surprises (and there always are some). Reliability on both of mine has been excellent, (We are talking Ferrari reliable...not Honda reliable btw.) however: Expect the roof to leak, the windows to be slow and maybe stop working, the slow-down lights to come on for no reason (and disappear again), the gasket between the front and rear windows to get worn and or ripped when opening/closing the roof and your friends to stop over and ask to take it for a drive. Net-net, I wouldn't trade it for the world...not at least until my kids leave home. Add a Tubi and the soundtrack is awesome!!! - JMG | ||

Might suggest picking up "Original Ferrari V8" and "Ferrari 328, 348, Mondial - Ultimate Portfolio" which will give you nearly all articles ever written about these models from mainsream mags. - JMG | ||

Andrew, You can easily do this research yourself.(It is part of the fun in purchasing a Ferrari) Why ask us? Personally, I like 4 seats. for Kids,,, double dates.... etc. Thus, my Ferrari Models of choice will be; Mondial, 400i, 308GT4, maybe 456? | ||

Due to lower COG (engine dropped) and more powerful engine, the T is faster and handles better than previous models. Will not start the vs. 328 discussion though... | ||

the mondial t has the same drivetrain as the 348 and in my opinion is the best model by far. handling is about the same. engine does come out of the car for maitenance. great car for eveyday driving | ||

I think hard to compare, the t cab is a four seater convert and designed as more of a touring car, A t does have more hp than the 328 but prob more weight. T does need the engine drop for a belt change I think. 328 more of a trad sports car | ||

On the high end they exceed Tom's estimate to 70k asking price but otherwise he is spot on. - JMG | ||
