While not at the top of the collector list of Ferraris, models like the Mondial offer a far more affordable entry into ownership while still giving a unique driving experience.
In a feature on a pair of Mondials, our reviewer noted: “Although it won’t be top of the must-have list for hard-core Ferrari fans, this model will stand the test of time. There’s a lovely buzz from the engine behind you. It’s a V8 that sounds differet due to the flat-plane crank. Other noises the cars make are unique, too – even the starter has a distinct whirr. There’s a reason why Ferraris have always enjoyed a reputation for exclusivity – it has a lot to do with the character in the cars.”
This example is a QV, running a 2.9lt four-valve V8 matched to a five-speed manual transmission.
It’s with the Healey Factory in Melbourne, priced at $97,500.
