AUCTION LIVE AT COLLECTING CARS - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1987-ferrari-mondial-3-2

This stunning Ferrari Mondial 3.2 comes with just over 40,000 miles, full service and clean MOT this is a fantastic opportunity to own a very undervalued and under-appreciated Ferrari with a desirable cream leather interior and Dark Blue (Blu Sera) exterior. A true mid-engined Ferrari well looked after and in great condition. The car has received just over £20k on an engine and gearbox out service which included overhauling and restoring each corner by the specialists at QV London as well as engine service with all serviceable items replaced including new cam belts and a new fuel accumulator and a full gearbox rebuild with a new crown wheel and pinion gear.


The lovely Dark Ferrari Blue Sera is in great condition for its age featuring a few chips for its age, the car has held very well with only attention on the sunroof needing some work. The car is very much of its time with the styling being very 1980s, from the vents in the front and rear boot and engine cover to the twin tail lights and pop-up headlights, if this was a book of classic Ferrari design ques this car would be on the front page.


The interior is a lovely crema which pairs very will with the blue exterior, Blue with a cream interior is somewhat of a cliche but a choice option for a Ferrari. The condition of the seats is very good and has recently had some work done to the driver's seat and a small tear on the rear passenger seat. The old-school Ferrari dash is well-spaced and presents everything in a very functional Italian style. The dials with their retro Italian font style are a great addition to the car's character as the needles climb.

The Gearbox is the same as the unit found in the Ferrari 328 GTB and features the same dog leg first and 5 forward speed. The gearbox is great to use and the open gate shift of the car is classic Ferrari magic with its metallic feel and the noises giving you a great connection to the mechanics of the car. The gearbox has recently been completely rebuilt by experts at QV with the casing being crack-tested to ensure the longevity of the gearbox.

The Mondial featured independent suspension and Koni dampers all-round. The softer suspension over the 328 GTB made this car the ideal choice when it comes to making longer journeys and using the car more regularly. The car has recently received a suspension overhaul at each corner, with the wishbones being refurbished, and springs and dampers having been completely rebuilt with new bushes and fastenings, the car drives as it should and now looks like new.

The car's ventilated disc brakes all round have great performance and give you confidence when pushing on. The car has recently received new brake lines all round giving you great confidence in the car's condition to ensure it performs as it did when new.

This particular Mondial has been upgraded to the 17?? Speedline 5 spoke alloy wheels from the 348, a very striking styling addition that really brings a more modern touch to the car?s appearance.

The tyres are Continental Conisport contact 3?s 210/50 front and 255/45 rear. The Continental tyres are summer tyres and were designed for high-performance sports cars and sports coupes and are very appropriate for the Mondial 3.2.
