The Mondial revived a name from Ferrari's past and was a mid-engind 2+2 manufactured from 1980 to 1993. A successor to the Bertone penned 308 GT4, it was designed by Pininfarina and available as a Coupe or Cabriolet. The construction was unconventional, with the steel outer body outsourced to Carrozzeria Scaglietti mated to a lightweight steel box-section chassis - the bonnet and boot lids were constructed in aluminium. The engine, five-speed manual gearbox and rear suspension were all mounted on a detachable steel subframe for ease of servicing and repair. Suspension was independent all-round by wishbones and coil springs, the braking by discs and the steering by rack and pinion. Most of the 6,800 Mondials produced were finished in traditional Rosso Red, but a few were Black, Silver or Blue. The car was initially powered by a transversely mounted, Bosch fuel-injected version of the 3.0-litre V8 also employed in the 308 GTBi. Power output was increased in 1982 thanks to a 16-valve version of the same engine, whose combustion chamber design was reputedly based on an F1 unit of the period. The resulting 240bhp was sufficient to propel the Quattrovalvole to 60mph in 6.4 seconds and on to a maximum of around 150mph.
This well-presented righthand drive UK specification Mondial is finished in the pleasing combination of Rosso Corsa bodywork matched to a Crema hide interior. Recent maintenance has included: a gearbox overhaul; general mechanical work to the value of £12,000 (2017); and a new clutch and drive belts. The vendor informs us that the Prancing Horse 'runs and drives very well' and judges it to have 'excellent' five-speed manual transmission that was subject to a rebuild some years ago, 'very good' bodywork, interior trim and V8 engine, and 'good' paintwork. 'FLC 718Y' is offered complete with a comprehensive service history (27 stamps), all its original handbooks, tool kit and an MOT valid until April 4 next year.
