This is the favorite long-distance
travel car for my wife and myself
and we have taken seventeen trips
of over 2000 miles with this car.
There has been only one major breakdown (of the clutch shaft assembly) on the
tenth trip. The car is very comfortable, has a wonderful ride and
handling, plenty of luggage space for
two and plenty of passing power at
highway speeds. The custom stereo system we installed is excellent and top-down cruising is a wonderful
experience. We take the Mondial for
our 18th trip to our favorite site
(the Big Sur Highway) in October.
Repair parts and maintenance (eg,
cam belt change) are very expensive, like all Ferraris.
Worthwhile upgrades: larger Momo shift
knob, aluminum heel pads on leather
door entry jams, custom Ebony wood panels replacing plastic console panels,
elaborate 6 speaker biamplified stereo.
Elegant accessories: Schedoni luggage
Custom ebony panels? That sounds a lot nicer than the rather bleak expanses of black plastic! Can you post where these panels were made and if possible the cost?
Sounds like you got a mid week car and not a dreaded Monday or Friday car.
