    Brought the 1985 Prugna Cabriolet this weekend. Got her registered yesterday, and took her for the first drive. I was going to take her to the gym, this morning, but a dash light was on. Amber, with a wrench and (I think) a window symbol, the manual say #12 allowing for my myopia and Italian fine print) it may be 13 or 14 but they are not the right color.

    If it is 12 that is rear window heat, but it is a cabrio. Any ideas what it is, and how many cubic $ I should lay aside. The PO says the fuse box was replaced a couple years ago, and it looks pretty new.

    Congratulations...

    THANK YOU. (Sheepishly) the car is gray market, I may have the wrong manual, and looked at the wrong one online.

    Thank oyu! I am more excited about this than when I got my driver's license at 16, or my first car, even.

    No biggie, the manuals do take some getting used to, especially at first. I grabbed the above image from one of the QV manuals, page 98. BTW, all manuals contain info for both the Cab and the Coupe. Except the 8, of course.

    And welcome to Mondial ownership, you made a great choice.

    Wade always to the rescue with pictures

    If you push button 5 it should turn the rear window locking feature and dash light 12 "on and off"

    Welcome to the Mondi family!

    Equals a thousand words. I guess I've been twittering long before there was such a thing (140 characters or less). ;)

    Thank you. I'm very proud, it has been years of dreaming. It is a fantastic drive, the sound of the engine, the feel of the chassis, the weight of the controls. It is a real man's car.

    First off - - Prugna is my favorite color!!

    And second, your wheels look very similar to 355 Challenge wheels - another fav of mine. Those wheels do resemble 512TR wheels, but yours seem to have a bit more curvature to the spokes. ????

    And lastly, your Mondi is off the chart, beautiful !!!

    Drive her in the very best of health.

    Cheers,

    Hank
