    Are you sure that QVs came with a folding key? As far as 308/328 go, that I know best, only 328s came with the folding key, so it seems to go with the 3,2 engine...

    Both my '84 QV cabriolet and my '83 QV coupe came with folding ignition keys. Both are US models if that makes a difference.

    It started with the Mondial because the ignition switch was located where it could be snapped off with your knee. It was adopted on the other cars later even though there was no reason for them.

    I am interested in 2 of each.

    Thanks

    Fobs similar to that are very common. But the ones embossed with the Mondial name are rare indeed.

    As I recall, that style was referred to as the "Mondial Fob".

    Bought the car from the original owner in 1994.

    I'm the second owner, so I know it came from the factory :)

    My 3.2 did not arrive with any original fobs. Luckily, a fellow F-chatter tipped me off to one on eBay similar to this, but including the 3.2 in the embossing.
