Tom, Yale, et. al.
I just reached a deal on a Mondial 8 to keep the 365 GT4 company in the garage. I am going to get looked down upon by this group?
Ducking for cover...

Vintage ownership question
Well Erik, We had a Mondial 8 & the 330 at the same time, so I understand. Amazing the differences in the ride, handling, etc. Have fun.
Ours was a 1981 Euro version s/n 36213. Any questions, call me. We had ours for >14 years, so if there was anything to work on, we probably did it.
Not bad on the track; slower on the straights than its contemporary 2 seaters, but seemed to handle race track type turns better. Better balanced? LJH

I would like to have a late 80's-on Ferrari in addition to my 330 2+2, or
more realistically if I sold the 330.
The doable choices would be a 328 or 348, dream-and-scheme-on would be a 550 Maranello.
The 330 is what I wanted and it was actually an easier sell to my wife than late model rear engine Ferraris - I presented that option to her as well. She sees the 330 as a bigger, safer, more traditional car, and thinks it suits me better.
It is a beast around town, especially in weather extremes. The old 2+2's weren't designed to be used extensively as city drivers. They were meant for the European open roads.
