    Thanks Steven, Nero paintwork and tan interior are my favourite combination for a Mondial. Anyone know of any other Mondials over this way? I'd be interested in seeing images of other people's Mondials.

    I need to get some better pictures done, but here's my Mondial QV next to my P6.

    But for me, the Prancing Horse must be on a red bonnet :)

    I'll would say, go back to the original color BLUE.Gives this car more "classe".
    I dont care what other people think of Mondial or Mondialdrivers. For me a car is to drive from place A to place B. Looks good in a VW, or Audi....looks better in a Mondial. With all the carjackings and homejackings a 150,000 € car is asking for trouble. So, Mondialdrivers, enjoy to drive without to much risks.

    Hi all,
    Glad to see there's a few proud Mondial owners on here, guess it's time I showed my face too.
    Here's my Mondial QV (Rosso Rubino) looking a bit sorry for itself on a gloomy February day. It's not the best pic but I'll get some more done when the Spring finally arrives.
    So.... Anyone in S.Wales or thereabouts with one of these?
    I'd also be interested to find out if anyone else has ever seen another Mondial in Rubino.
    Jon.

    good to see so many Mondial owners showing off their great cars!!
    (got a digital camara now, but still cant work the bl..dy thing properly yet)
    but the decision to keep my car 100% std looking, has been made.......
    the black bumpers, and black trim against the rosso paint has really grown
    on me, having seen some great original examples!
    i think it looks kinda' cool in a early eighties type of way.... and not dressing
    it up to be somthing it isnt!

    enough of my babblin' now, im off for a pint or six.

    only people I've met in seven years Mondy ownship who 'underrate' Mondials are non Ferrari owners who probably drive 3 series! OK so Mondy's are not the fastest, we all know that, but they are quick enough to get into and out of trouble! I've done several trips to Le Mans, camping in mine, how many Ferraris can you do that in!

    Mods for QV's? Wheels for starters, change them to imperial and decent rubber, after that I guess big bucks for engine mods, look at the Mondial thread and check out the turbo charging and supercharging threads, really interesting especially the guy who has developed the turbo with minimal other engine mods which means the whole thing can be returned to stock at any time. Keep on top of the electrics, the fuseboard is a real pain but a new one is being developed in the States, I'm on the wait list. Windows are slow, try stripping the motors and regreasing, makes big difference. Switches in the centre consol can stick, clean and spray with a good contact spray and they work fine.

    Best of all.............enjoy :D

    I have modified mine heavily for racing, I love the car (can't afford anything else), I am looking at the supercharger option in the next couple of years for mine


    At least one thing a Mondial owner can say to any 360/430 owners is at least its a real Ferrari built in Enzos lifetime:D

    well, i thyink owning any Ferrari is amazing. I have been a fan all of my life, and this year i will finally be 17 and can legally drive. My dream is to own a Ferrari and one to look after. I dont want a £150,000 F430 or whatever that cannot be driven, insured or whatever, i think realisitcally i could buy a 308 GT4 or a Mondial. These 2 models amongst others seem to have some of the msot passionate owners who look afetr their cars well, and most do something i personally love.... DRIVE THEM! Too many owners lock their cars away in garages for 11 1/2 months per year and drive them occassionally. Some owners always drive them and i love that.

    Enjoy your car, its a Ferrari just the same, 'stick' the people who dont like it!

    Cheers,
    Rob
