    My first Mondial, a 3.2 Coupe bought in 1988 from Ch. POZZI. It first owner was Didier Calmels, the co-owner of the Calmels-Larousse F1 team. Calmels at the time was in jail for the murder of his wife.

    Very nice! BTW, are those wheels from the 456? I've always wondered how they'd look on a Mondial.

    Sweet... looks just like my first Mondial except your wheels and the front spoiler treatment is way better.

    Anyone know who's T this belongs to? Every where I look on the web, this beauty pops up! It has my vote for "Best in Show", a classic photo of the Mondial captured as the world around it admires!

    Nice! That looks like an exact copy of my Mondial 3.2 #75397 (Nero Fer with Crema/Castoro interior). Mine is new delivered by Ch. Pozzi in 1987 and is in 1997 imported in the Netherlands. Does your first Mondial stil exist?

    I will have to dig into my archives to find the serial number of my first Mondial.

    Have wondered the same as it is clearly the most published pic on the web and even Wikepedia uses it as their main picture for the Mondial page.
    It has a Euro plate on it and the store in the background is in Belgium, also it is a righthand drive car which Belgium is. I first thought they were 348 wheels but now that I look closely they're after market it appears as they have much more offset (esp the rear) than 348 wheels, also the small shield is interesting...
    Cheers,
    Greg

    Beautiful. I am pretty sure mine was a 1986, I am still looking for that VIN #. In the process, I threw out three trash bag worth of old papers. :)

    Wow, thanks! It's not the same car, mine is an ABS version of Dec 1987. In one of your pictures I see the check panel typical of the 1986 version. But including the yellow headlights they are identical. Thanks, Johan
