Does anyone know this mondial project

Was featured in one of the Classic car mags around 18 months ago with Fiat X1/9 badges

Judging by the visible rot this car would need a complete body rebuild or one of Clive's (zertec) conversions

It could be put back on the road...........for a price (if you want a heart attack have a look at the price of new rear wings.....and thats supply only!)

 

Come again...
...how did X1/9 badges get involved?

There must be some value in this car - not as a project Mondy but at the right price there must be something that could be done with it?

 

Its an 8 (look at the centre console ) as for its worth....Yes it is worth it for parts.....as long as you can sell them all and dont mind dismantling the car (and you've got somewhere to do it that conforms to all the EU rules and regs), I'll probably bid later in the week if it doesnt go much higher, but pulled a running car in better shape out of somebodys garden last week for £3.5k(currently having a major service and a holiday at the bodyshop) so this isnt worth more than its currently bid to
as for the badging ****ed if I know! maybe the originals were nicked and replaced with X1/9's for fun


Although for the price of a focus you could ship it to Singapore and have a wild and wonderfull new body put on it ....Contact Clive (zertec) or Myself for details

 

if the steering wheel wasn't on the wrong side I'd be interested...

 

QV needing £4k in servicing and bodywork, will make a very very nice car when finished

 

Yup £10k for an excellent QV - £12k for Conkers example......sorry to say thats the market rate for them at the moment and its not easy work selling them
The simple rational for the pricing is why pay £12k for a qv when you can get a far newer 3.4t for almost the same amount, the example Karl Verdi has for sale at the moment is pretty much perfect and isnt much more.

Sorry to say that as the newer cars become cheaper through increased supply prices for the unloved cars will continue to drop....until they become desirable as classics like were all seeing with the 308Gt4's and cab 400 / 365 2+2's

Maybe we should have a Fchat UK market letter on the forum?

 

I'm surprised why the Mondial, especially the QV, is so undervalued. I bought my QV just under two years ago as a toe-in-the-water to the Ferrari ownership experience and never looked back. It's been reliable, comfortable, easily outhandles a friend's 308 GTS and is IMHO the perfect introduction to Ferrari ownership. Build quality for an Italian car of this vintage is also remarkable.

Practical is a label I don't like using, but it is certainly one applicable to the Mondial. The rear seats are eminently usable, the luggage capacity is good and the QVs have one major advantage for less pecunious owners - servicing costs are relatively low.

Add this to the fact that it is a usable four seater mid-engined coupé and the Mondial is unique.

 

The simple answer is because the 3.2's and 3.4's are also undervalued, the QV's whilst a great car (I've got 2 and have had several) is not quite as good to drive and live with than the later cars which have higher perfomance and even better build quality combined with all the good Mondial traits (4 seats good visibility lots of luggage space)
As I've already said only somebody who really really really wants a QV would pay more for one than they would for a 3.2 (currently ranging from £10k ish to £14K) or 3.4t (£11.5K to £20k)

Ferraris deprecaite.....maybe a bit slower for the older cars than with Porsche or other premium brands but the still drop in value

 

Looks like I may have to reconsider the asking price of my QV I'm trying to sell!

 

Hi Nitrous'

36K miles, excellent condition and asking £12,995 - but it looks like the price will be open to negotiation a little!

The car is here:

I agree with Nitrous. The summer season always helps too.

 

Hi Nitrous' and Malcqv

Your words of encouragment are most welcome- if the price of £10K mooted is for real, then it won't get sold - I like it too much to give it away.

I might just be prompted to go the modification route and make it an even better car. Norwood's electronic fuel injection conversion would the first item on the list...

Cheers

Mark

 

Thanks for that. And no I have no plans to part with mine just yet. I will part with it one day for another Ferrari, probably a 348. That will be a few years off yet.
