Let's See All Our Mondials!

A great place for very high res photos: http://www.redinfocus.com/Sportscars

Here's a couple you do not see everyday, a Mondial 3.2 with 328 non-ABS wheels. Also included is nice shot of a t coupe in action. To me, Mondials best photograph with people in them on the road.

Another 3.2 coupe from above; This shot really starts to give an idea just how much room is inside when compared to it's V-8 siblings. The difference is amazing.

Mondial trivia - how good are you?
There are 10 non-stock mods apparent on this car - can you find them all? I'll give you 2 easy ones: the 18" Speedlines and it is lowered. Happy hunting

First pass before coffee this morning...
SF Shield
seats
seat belts
shift knob
front spoiler (painted) - looks like the rest of the lower was done as well
mirrors (painted)
grill looks painted black, may be angle
sticker on the windshield

 

Brilliant work - especially on the shift knob and grill.
I didn't count the sticker on the windshield, so there is one further that I see.

 

I assume the tires go with the wheels so I did not count them...
the Cavallino Rampante is chromed on the grill as well. Is that the missing one? I figured that went with the painted grill but it would be a different mod.
I think it would be safe to assume that the exhaust was changed but you can't see it. "Can you hear it?"

What I really want are some inside shots of the seat mounting. I took a look at the Sparco Milanos and it just doesn't seem like they would fit without removing the ebrake ot heavily modifying the inside adjustment on the seat.

I'm on travel right now, but have some interior shots of the car and will get those up and to you when I return home nest week. I remember the leather match to be almost perfect.

If you look pretty close - you'll see the steering wheel is a very reduced diameter.

Well done!

is the sunroof stock or non-stock??

 

LOL my first experience of my mondial. (fuse box failure, not being cut in half)

Like the White Mondial.
The more pictures of Mondial's I see the better they look. The 3.4t's look by far the best, even good in pictures. However all look fantastic in the metal

 

Brutal...I think it's just your lens!

The roof was factory and I think stock on the Ts...but don't know for sure. AllanS probalby does know but I think he has left the fold to join the FCar 2 seat crowd. I hope he doesn't forget us.

As for the seats, I found the Sparco Milano Tan Leather to be almost an exact match...probably has something to do witht he leather being sourced from Italy. But what we found (and most importantly what you might be able to show) is how to handle the inside rake adjustment on the seat as well as the placement of the seat with respect to the ebrake. Thanks for looking into it when you get back home.

Thanks,
TCab

 

Well, no need to wait - check post #175 on this thread for this same car with the interior shot. (OBTW - note the steering wheel)

 

From the "barn find" thread

(incidently, I think that any Ferrari with a racing history is interesting)

Looksmart is making a 1/43 version of that car.

 

Yes, that picture got me started on searching for the seat...but I wanted to get close ups of the mods to the inside corner.

Hank:

I'll take your old rims if you are going to go with an aftermarket one...

Cheers,
Erik

 

Thanks - they are Ferrari OEM Speedline, 17" x 7.5" & 8.5"
Yes, #75039 is an 88 with ABS.
In any event, all Mondial, 8, QV, 3.2 & t, wheels have the same bolt pattern and offset, therefore interchangable.

A better photo of 75039's Speedline wheels, if less artsy.
In addition, there are some very nice photos of a red Euro T-cab (like you know who) with the same wheels (they were a German dealer option, the pictured one from the same Frankfurt dealer that serviced my Mondial) in the very nice Lehbrink/Schlegelmilch book on Ferrari.
hope this helps

Hank
For the fronts, I've used both 215/50 and 220/50 -17s. In the picture are 220/50-17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
In the rear, have used 245/45-17s. Again, the picture is with Michelins.
Hope this helps,
Russ

 

That's fine. I think I found a set anyway.

Thanks,
Erik

 

Went through the archives and found photos of 8/qv cars with the later 16" 3.2/t wheels ( for Erik) as well as the Speedlines like mine if anyone interested.
best to all
