    Guys, Scaledetails has his eye an another car and is practically giving away his stunning blue Mondial t Valeo. Naturally, I gave him a call to tell him he's crazy and will live to regret selling it.

    If you ever thought of getting a Valeo Mondi, don't wait for me to offer up Rachel - - it won't happen ! But Stephane is offering up his for what I would call, a door buster price !!!!

    Christmas will come early for someone !!! :):):)

    Cheers, Hank

    Hank, haven't checked the book yet but believe it is one of the last Valeo's imported right?
    Great color combo for sure!
    Cheers,
    Greg

    Greg, according to the book, 96074 is about 6 from the last of the Valeos. Interestingly, the book also shows blue/"black". That certainly appears to be a mistake, unless someone did a darn good total interior color change.

    Cheers, Hank

    Interesting, yes, doubt it had a black interior...
    Btw, I never found my Valeo, 92409 in the book, any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Greg

    It appears 92409 was one that got away (from the Raab files). I'm guessing it's not the only one. Maybe you can submit the info to them (page 3) so it can be included in a future reprinting.

    Cheers, Hank

    Is 95533 in the book? Could you possibly tell me anything about it?

    What book are you referring to?

    Thanks, Alex

    Thanks for finding my VIN, I just ordered the supplement.
    Does it mention that it is a Valeo?
    Thanks again,

    Did you subscribe to F-register as that looks to be the only way to search their database?
    Wonder if we can finally get an answer to the number of Valeo's imported to the US?
    Cheers,
    Greg

    No, I'm not a subscriber. I simply searched the book and the supplement by hand.

    BTW: There are 2 Cabriolet for sale in Germany at the moment:
    Ferrari Mondial T Cabrio Halbautomatik + G-Kat als Cabrio/Roadster in Berlin
    and
    Ferrari Mondial Cabrio T Service & Zahnriemen neu als Cabrio/Roadster in Pfaffenhofen (bei München)

    take care

    Did you receive your copy yet? I ordered but got a refund because it was basically not available.

    Hey gang - We have a member wanting to learn more about the Valeo transmissions:


    He's asking in Scaledetails' for-sale thread, but I noticed this thread, and thought I would direct him down here, since it's more on-topic. Care to edumacate him a little bit?

    Hi Wilson,

    I believe we're neighbors (I'm in Burbank). I've had the extreme pleasure of driving and caring for Rachel #93123 (Valeo), for over nine years. PM me a phone # - and I'll ring you up for the purpose of "enlightenment" :):)

    Cheers,

    Hank

    I'm "this" close to buying a 92 with the Valeo. I love the idea of that trans. Could you possibly give me a call to give me some info on the trans and any possible issues? I'm not sure how to PM you, just registered today so not sure if I have to be a paid subscriber or not... Anyway, my number is 773-230-7783
