    Terrific photo! Classy cars in a beautiful setting.

    Damn. That is impressive. Any other info or photos of that car? That must be like 2" of ground clearance. Very nice match on the leather seats as well.
    Wow.

    I asked the good folks at FoS if they could identify the seats and they said that they were likely 360 Sport Seats... I didn't know they woould fit in there...there must have been some mods to the ebrake.

    Hi John,

    I did a little bit of research and found that the seats are made by Sparco and the model is the Milano and they come in black or tan leather.

    Regards,
    Phil.

    Here's another view of Sophia. I used this photo for the cover for a book I made for John relevant to everything I could find on the Mondial t coupes and everything we had about Sophia. She's very special as she's 1 of 42 that came to the US for that 1989 model.

    Lucio,

    First Mondial I've seen in silver. The car looks very nice in that color.

    Hey Pom,

    How are you and your t doing? I havn't seen any recent posts lately and I was wondering - what's up. Did you get your t Coupe's problems sorted?

    Cheers, Hank

    NICE! Much nicer with the new wheels. When did you slap those on.

    The 86 to 89 are still my favorite mondials. I love the color coordinated bumpers and the bigger body vent as opposed to the smaller one that came out in the later models. Also the color coordination is also my favorite. Red with Crema interior.

    Nice car, and the addition of the new wheels just brings it to a new level.

    Roel - very nice! The wheels really add a lot! Mondials always look so at home in Europe to me as the perfect sized GT.
    Ed - Great on the road shot! Very nice wheels as well!
    Hey guys, let's all follow Ed's lead and get a wingman and get some shots at speed on the road!

    Thanks for the compliments. I put the wheels on a few months ago and haven't had much of a chance to drive it due to the inclement weather we have had here. I really like the look too.

    The shot taken on the highway was by another Fchat member on our way to the Ferrari of Long Island Concours last october after we were in Manhattan for the infamous Time Square Shootout. There was a great thread on that with tons of pictures that were lost when the server crashed. There was a similar picture taken to that one with me in the left lane and Vik's (ghost) red 355 in the middle lane. It was such a good shot Vik was using it with the photos to sell his car.

    I dont know if anyone is interested, but, I am in the process of having the two straps that hold the back seats in place, and the leather rectangle that covers the engine hatch behind the seats reproduced in a leather that is said to be identical to the original.
    My 89.5 Mondial Cab interior is black. I received the quote today from a local leather company in NH. The estimated cost is $75.00 not including the snaps. Although I dont know if this is a good price, it seems reasonable to me.
    I would offer to get any fellow Mondial owners a set, or provide you with the supplier if you like.
    Let me know.
