Ferrari Mondial QV Cabrio

Vehicle Description

This rare 2+2 seater Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole convertible is one out of a total of merely 629 open models of its type ever built.

The red 1985 sports car has recently been imported from the US. The interior in black leather with the typical high-quality workmanship is in a good state of preservation and gives credibility to the unwarranted mileage of only 22,400 mls.
This model apparently still bears most of its original paintwork, which is in a fine state regarding its age of 30 years, virtually free of visible rust. A slight dent rear right and a small bump in the trunk are blemishes worth mentioning. The original Ferrari rims are very attractive. The soft top gives a near-new impression with only the slightest traces of wear.

In this beautiful mid-engine convertible you needn’t go without air conditioning, nor without a subsequently installed subwoofer in the passenger footwell.

All in all a very nice open-top sports car that has always been a rarity on the roads.

It turned out longer and wider than its predecessor and offered sufficient space even for rear-seat passengers – while being a true mid-engine sports car. This combination is highly unusual, if not unique for a production car, even more so for one available as a convertible.

Pininfarina drew the elongate lines of the Mondial 8, which was first presented at the Geneva show in 1980. The low-pollutant V8 with 214 hp was not considered powerful enough by all friends of the house, which led Ferrari to come up with the Quattrovalvole, some two years or 703 vehicles later, boasting 240 hp for the desired extra bit of oomph. Of this, a total of 1,773 units were built, among them 629 convertibles.

The year 1985 brought a major facelift, since then the Mondial was offered as a 3.2 delivering 270 hp. In this form, a total of 987 coupés and 810 convertibles were produced until 1988.
