I am offering for sale my 1993 Mondial t Valeo, 24xxx miles, Rosso/Tan. There are approximately 18 Valeos in the U.S. They are the forerunner to the F1 paddle shift systems, but much more reliable. The system was used by Lancia to win back to back championships in the late 1980's. A one-off F40 Valeo was produced for Gianni Agnelli. The car drives like a regular 3-pedal car, with a gated shift, minus the clutch pedal. When the driver touches the shift knob, microprocessors engage the clutch in milliseconds. Quite sophisticated for its time! I've owned the car since 2012 and have maintenance records dating back to 2008. Notable services: *New clutch at 19k miles *Engine out major service last spring *Adjustable suspension rebuilt with metal gears *Rebuilt Valeo ECU At the moment the car is at a well known, reputable shop in Colorado. A PPI can be performed at the buyers request. Asking $75,000. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
WOW. Good Luck with sale Alex. I had a ton of fun with my 93 Valeo here in the Philly burbs this weekend in the great weather. DSD is right, this is THE mondial to have.

I had never heard of this Mondial variant before, but concur that it is clearly THE Mondial to own. Great car!
Gianni Agnelli's F40: 1989 Ferrari F40 (Valeo) for sale: Anamera This car, chassis number 79883 is another “Agnelli Speciale” and is fitted with a Valeo electronic clutch system which had been developed and proven in the Lancia Delta Integrale rally cars, as well as a few Mondial cabriolets and coupes. Agnelli’s left leg had been weakened in a road accident and the system takes away the need for a clutch pedal. Valeo uses the normal gear lever which, when moved, sends signals to a master control unit and then to the clutch actuator motor which engages or disengages the clutch in less than 100 milliseconds. Built-in safety features stop the car being started in gear and prevent the driver selecting too high a gear or too low.
Cool car, had heard of the Valeo a few months back and was quite surprised. Especially when you consider how reliable it is compared to its successor.

Just wondering if there has been any update on this. Extremely rare car, too bad we never got the valeo in the coupe (at least in the U.S). Would love to have that combo! Regards, Jerry
The car is still available! I agree, it would be nice in a coupe. I've always had a thing for T coupes. Unfortunately, those are only in Europe.
