It's a very nice example but...

If it was a carb one, maybe?

The same people who wanted almost £20k for a silver Mondial 8 . . . . . and dont get me started on the painted rear aerofoil.

I looked at that car, it really was a lovely example, but that was an easy £15k.....

Used to live near them, always hilariously expensive.

Got loads of Classic and Sports Car magazines and I think that Mondial is advertised in all of them from the last 3 years

Hate to think what this one cost the owner....

A facinating project. Pity there isn't an obvious way to download all 2,344 photos and view them.

Genuine question regarding the spanners in the toolbag (last pic in the ad).......would/ could they be original 1985 items or replaced/ renovated?

Because the ones for my 1996 355 GTB have disintegrated into rust.

[johnnyreggae]

Shouldn't there be four screwdrivers and red handles on the pliers ?

The tool roll is correct for a late QV, but you could buy them off the shelf from Maranello parts until recently (somewhere around £150 a set IIRC) . . . . . the screw drivers are still crap though

19,000 miles ??? Pah - Old Banger !!!

My GTS is 13,500 and has carbs.

And I've been offered more than £54,950 for it.

Because I like it.
I was at the launch of the 308 at the Paris motorshow in 1975 when I was a kid. I was taken along on Press Day.
I love the sound of the carbs sucking away.
I love the look of it.
I love the smell of it.
I've got the complete history and documentation for it.
It gets a great reaction from people rather than abuse.
It's the car photographed in a few Ferrari books.
It's got under my skin.
And my wife said we don't need the money so why would we sell it (car and wife are both 'keepers').

Perfect reason to keep forever there, nice one.

Post some pics (please). My first ride in a ferrari was a carb version and there are not many good examples around.

Which makes it even more of a bargain when it was £40k at Nick Cartwrights 2 days earlier!

Not a bad markup then if they get the asking price. £15k to look after a car that had already been prepped up and serviced. If they get the asking price.
