Ferrari Mondial
Discussion
The 3 & 3.2's are roughly the same to run as a 308 
and the t's slightly less than the 348
Major things to watch for are rust rust rust! Post 85 cars have some galvanised sections with full galv cars starting with the 3.2's . . . . . . Which still rust but not as much!
Fuse boards are a series of printed circuits and do have issues, look for a fused bypass on the fuelling and air con circuits, upgraded replacements have been made by a few people (Clive "zertec" Reed over on Ferrarichat had some very nice ones made)
Seats and interiors can get a little ratty, especially as when newer Mondy's tended to be used as everyday cars.
Avoid the 8's if you want performance, qv's & 3.2s make nice weekend car's and the t's are quick even by modern standards and benefit from a host of updates over the 3 & 3.2's
Wheels can be a big issue, 8's qv's and most 3.2's run on milimetric wheels, the correct tyres for which can be difficult to get (the moulds were apparently sold to coker tyres in the US and production can be sporadic) and the none Michelin tyres that fit are slightly different sizes, the Mag wheels from the 3.2's have been known to corrode to the point that parts of the wheels have crumbled / cracked

You look like a midget driving one!
what do you have against midgets ?there's a wealth of info on ferrarichat
I just went on ferrarichat.com and ran a search on "midget", "dwarf" and "little person" and there was practically no useful info at all.
