Notable as Ferrari’s last mid-engined 2+2-seater, the Mondial was introduced at the March 1980 Geneva Salon. Styled by Pierangelo Andreani and Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, its slatted side vents presaged those of the Testarossa and 348. Equipped with all-round independent double wishbone suspension, front / rear anti-roll bars, four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering, the newcomer’s tubular spaceframe chassis was clothed in a mixture of steel and aluminium. Significantly more expensive than its two-seater 308 GTB sibling, the Mondial shared the same 2926cc ‘Flat Plane Crankshaft’ alloy V8 engine and five-speed manual transmission. Arriving in 1982, the Mondial Quattrovalvole featured a revised F105A powerplant with (as its name suggested) four valves per cylinder. Credited with developing 240bhp / 188lbft, the newcomer was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds and 149mph. Produced in far fewer numbers than today’s Ferraris, just 152 of the 1,145 Mondial QV Coupes made were to right-hand drive specification.

Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa with Magnolia leather upholstery, chassis 052675 was supplied new by Lancaster Ferrari of Colchester on August 15^th 1984. Regularly main dealer and specialist serviced at 1,108, 3,054, 9,265, 16,374 and 21,378 miles, the Mondial QV underwent a speedometer change at 23,154 miles. Thereafter, the 2+2-seater accrued further maintenance stamps at 6,488, 9,846, 17,585, 20,680, 22,191 and 25,351 miles. Involved in a minor accident shortly after passing its 2007 MOT test at 29,702 miles, the Ferrari was written off by its then insurer due to the need for a new outer front wing, bumper and headlight assembly. Taking possession that same year, the vendor was unperturbed by the non-structural damage and soon had the car repaired using second-hand parts. Thereafter he entrusted ‘B464 XOO’ to NB Classic Restoration of Bedford where it was treated to a photographically documented bodywork refurbishment and respray. Visually updated with a Mondial 3.2 grille, bumpers and later alloy wheels, the 2+2-seater was fitted with new cambelts some four years and 300 miles ago (the replacement odometer currently shows 30,970 miles). Idling smoothly during our recent photography session, this rare and much underrated Prancing Horse is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file and tool roll.
