This is a short introduction to my 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Coupe. Take a look at what makes this a unique and exciting car... especially compared to an air cooled Porsche 911.

My 1988 Mondial 3.2 QV Coupe has now done 73,450 miles. It’s a RHD as I live in England. I have previously had since 1985 four 308 GT4’s, a 246GT Dino and prior to the 3.2, I had a 1993 Mondial 3.4t. I switched out of the 3.4 as it has costly engine out servicing! Plus the chassis flexes due to the engine sits on a sub-frame for its removal. Over here, Mondial 3.2’s are very popular in Historic racing with its stiff chassis & 270bhp. On my car I’ve had the Koni dampers specialist rebuilt & all the suspension bushes renewed , as at 36 years old they needed refreshing, for track-day fun. In 2020 I got 140mph from a rolling start at Silverstone Race Circuit, with more speed to come easily. In my local Ferrari group of newer cars on our narrow lanes, my car is at home! I don’t worry about it as it cost me £31k or $33k! Modern Ferrari owners worry about their costly paint on narrow roads! I’ve test driven the Roma and Portofino M but neither gave me the same sense of fun as my Mondial, so it’s a keeper.

Andy, of all the Ferraris that I have owned, own now and maybe will ever own, the Mondial 3.2 is by far my favorite. I sense the appreciation and passion you have for your beautifully sorted car. I own an '88 black on black car with a few aftermarket parts which make an already great car even better. I would like to connect with you and facilitate a parts and service data base, if possible. Our beloved Mondials are a very rare sight on the roads, and the build numbers are far less than even the legendary F40! Anyway, Thank You for a very good video! Keep them coming, Sir!

Good presentation, and the mondial looks really great in black.

These very days I'm looking at a black Mondial 3.2 myself as a possible purchase. As many a car collector before, I am both excited and terrified at the thought of finally bringing a Ferrari in the garage, as all sort of horror stories are out there to discourage you. However, I think the Mondial looks amazing, classy and nicely understated in black, as well as being a much safer bet in terms of maintenance costs and reliability when compared to pretty much any other "gateway" Ferrari. Yours is a beatiful example and I wish you many years and miles of enjoyment with it!

A Mondial is a breeze . It's cheaper than a Corolla to keep on the road in the end and it's the best value you can get . Especially a Cabrio because the shape suits it and with a good set of F40 type wheels it's actually gorgeous . The 3.2 is the sweet spot and you can do the cam belt service in about an hour . The rest is as simple as an old Alfa . Gearbox and sub assembly is Bullet proof . Add a Capristo and you're starting to make a special thing

Can you do a video on the Link ECU install, and a review of how the car performs with it? Is it running just the ignition or fuel as well?

I didn’t do the install ats racing/ats exotics did the build before I bought the car. Give them a google/ insta search

The best Ferrari sports car is the all analog (baby Testarossa) Ferrari 348. The 348 is the biggest bang for the buck in Ferraris. As the predecessor to the 355, the 348 has the Formula 1 exhaust note without the costly valve and active suspension issues the 355 has. Less is more in analog sports cars. Older is easier as most can work on a 348. Its now or never for 348 buyers.

What can you say about the fuel consumption and costs of tune-ups? Is it an expensive car to maintain?
@andys_toy_story Жыл бұрын
It’s not super cheap but more affordable than people would expect. Certainly cheaper than my L322 was. It’s like double a Porsche 944. Gas mileage? Maybe 14 mpg
