Ferrari Mondial 3.0 Quattrovalvole (QV) Coupe (1985)



Neat little motor. I wonder if Ben plans to buy another Ferrari ?

I just love the F355 in Silver convertable. Possibly the best looking convertable ever made.

I'm afraid it's Magnum's 308 that does it for me, but having owned a number of classic Porsche 911's, one thing to remember when owning a classic car. Your one job apart from admiring your classic, is to make specialist mechanics very rich. Every creak, every tiny noise is met with, "Oh well mate that's going to cost a few bob, if you're lucky you'll get change out of ?3000!" It's modern cars for me nowadays and I've saved myself a small fortune!

Either Magum is a giant, or the Ferrari 308 is very small ;D

The weird thing is, some Ferrari's do look large in posters. It is only when a human appears in the same shot does it hit home how small Ferrari's can be, even if they are wider than the average car. The Ferrari Testrarossa is a good example, as they are a lot shorter, and lower in real life.

I bet your kicking yourself. That's a great looking car. If money were no object, then I'd opt for the Ferrari F50. Some find it ugly *cough* Jeremy clarkson *cough* some think it looks absolutely fabulous.
