Well, after a few years flirting on the outside of the f-car world with the 8.32, I thought it was time for something completely different.
So, in addition to a Dino V8 powered 4 seater generally looked down on by the purists, I will now be able to luxuriate in a 3.2 Mondial, diametrically opposed to the Lancia, as it is Dino V8 powered 4 seater that is generally...oh, never mind.
Seriously though, I think it's a lovely little thing, and somewhat underrated.
I put a deposit yesterday, and will be picking it up next week.
Sourced from henry f, of 911virgin.com ( thoroughly nice chap). Somehow I feel better buying from a PH'er...

LOL! I was gonna let that go but I'm glad you've mentioned you're going to ditch the plates as well.
Another decent Fezza owner has entered the building!

Thanks all.
Picked her up a few days ago. Have so far not wasted any time on trivialities like eating, sleeping or football - within 5 minutes of parking up I have to be driving again.
I cannot stop grinning.

Dink - yes indeed. I just need to find someone that'll retrim one in crema hide! I've already reconciled Alison to the fact I'm picking mother and baby up in it. It will be my sons first car ride after all - it has to be the Ferrari!

Dan - why are you getting rid of the GT4 - something interesting on the way?

I like shields on F cars, I would leave them on personally.
