Racing Mondial Pics/Do you have any

Hi all, Does anyone have any pics of racing Mondials from the 80's, I know there was a Moneytron sponsored one for 1990 Francorchaps 24-hours and driven by Keke Rosberg , I only have a couple of pics, I have enclosed a pic of that car, any other pics of Mondials racing, especially any sponsored ones would be great, Thanks

Something like a year ago there was at least one F-Chat thread that contained several pictures of the Moneytron cars. As I recall, it was on the European section. I don't remember seeing any pictures of other racing Mondials but would certainly be interested in them if any exist.

Though they certainly were not the most successful racers ever to wear the prancing horse, it is fascinating (at least to me) to know that the model does have at least some racing history.

Ciao,

John

 

I haven't heard of any Mondial in any pro race except for the Moneytron cars

Here's various pics from the other thread

Hi, Thanks for the pic, isn't that Marco Pullen?

Thanks Pete

 

Hi Tillman,
Many thanks for the pics
Cheers Pete

 

Hi John

Someone sent the pics, I agree it is nice to see it has some if not a small racing pedigree, there are a few here in the Ferrari Classic Challenge here in the Uk

 

Hi All,

Honest time now, does anyone think it would look 'tacky' to sticker up a Mondial to look like the Moneytron car, the car would be stripped out with racing seats and harnesses for trackdays.
Honest opinions please if you like it or think I'm sad!!

 

Well, it's not a good livery, but at least it's legitimate.

Now, if I could get my hands on the real Moneytron Mondials then I would absolutely restore them in that design

 

It would be interesting to know what happened to the original, probably
de-stickered and used for club racing or something.

So on the other comment does it get your approval?!?!?

 

you should REALLY have a look at this thread i made a couple of months ago!

contact me if you ae serious

 

Interesting picture. Any info on where and when it was taken. Does the original photo show the "banner" on the top of the windshield in greater detail. Any info appreciated.
Many thanks.
John

Does anyone else have anymore pics, especially from the back

 

3 more pics of one the Moneytron Mondials and how it looks now. Found these pics in the Europe Barn Find thread, so I don't know anymore about where and who took them.

The owner of Moneytron used to come to club-trackdays with a string of Ferrari's, driven by females mostly. Quite spectacular. The last I saw of it was in the newspaper, a pic of a large trailer filled with mouthwatering classic Ferrari's and an original Cobra, on their way to the impound. No racing Mondial in that pic though, and seeing the one and the state it is in is sad. Would surely be a nice car to bring back to life!

Happy motoring,

Not tacky at all since it is an homage to an actual car, and more so because it is the only real pro racing Mondial. And ANY Ferrari stripped down to its elemental purity (for performance, not for impressing the neighbors) is the best kind of Ferrari, period. I know that many people said they liked the feel of a 308GT4 on the track more than the 308GTB because the added wheelbase made for better handling; besides the fact that a Mondial is probably heavier than a GT4, is there any other reason why a Mondial also wouldn't have the same handling advantage on the track over a 308/328?

 

The amazing thing about F-Chat: one guy asks for info about a totally one-off car and not only do people post photos of it when it was an active racecar, but also find these amazing (but sad) photos of its post-race status. I tell you, this internet thing is gonna get big someday, mark my words.

 

On completion my car will be at least 170kgs lighter.

I have so far removed 240kgs with a max of 70kgs to go back on.

Hopefully in a year or so it will be 200kgs+ lighter than standard.

I stand corrected, but I had read somewhere that the Mondial is better handling than the 308 due to its longer wheel base???. Is this correct

 

This pic?

Same load of cars, but different pic. I'll have a look at home over the weekend, I may still have it. I remember the story read something about the cars being intercepted on their way accross the border to France, but it's a long time ago and I must be getting old

You're well documented!

Happy motoring,

Jack V.

 

I'm not well documented, I just remember seeing it in the barn find thread (post 154)
