    We all know that any Mondial coupe variant is rarer than an F40.

    I've heard that there are only 42 T coupes in the US

    How about the earlier versions? Anyone know how many Mondial 8, QV, and 3.2 coupes are here?

    Here's the worldwide production (source: http://www.dropbears.com/m/models/ferrari/mondial.htm)

    Mondial 8, 1980-1982: 703
    Mondial QV, 1982-1985: 1145
    Mondial 3.2, 1985-1989: 987
    Mondial T, 1989-1993: 840

    42 T coupes is the number furnished to John and I by a friend who works for Ferrari in Italy. I'll see if I can get more info on other variants.

    I have seen many Mondial coupes, all had sunroofs.

    OTOH at a FCA concours i joked with someone about how there were 2 F40's present and yet just 1 Mondial coupe.

    The reason why there were 42 Mondial t Coupes sold was because there were 42 FNA dealers and each one was allocated one car. Later, FNA reduced the number of dealers.

    Our 1983 QV coupe that we bought from Lolaman has a factory sunroof as well. And it works!

    Hah! Birdman, after fixing the A/C on the new t Coupe, the sunroof is the only thing that DOESN'T work on the car! Hah!

    Good repair info on FChat, that's the next project.

    Mine is factory sunroof, thought they all were that way. (??) Sunroof broken, taken out for repair. The spindle on the cable-end snapped off, maybe because of the stress from the right rear guide plastic bit being broken.

    Extracting it is a bit tricky, do NOT cut the headliner, that won't help in the least! Key is to remove the runners and bring the panel forward to the keyway/window (where there's a notch in the guide path), starting at about three inches open. Then ease it up from inside, whilst coming forward. After that, it's a cakewalk if the cable or spindle are already broken, as was the case in my car.

    So I need those parts, 60967300 and 60970200, if anyone's got them available, used or new.

    Of the later part of the 1992-93 Mondial t count were there many if any valeos hidden in those coupes?

    I asked this question before and got no response, so I'll try again here.

    Is there any registry listing colors of each of the Mondials? I have yet to see a silver T coupe.

    Are you sure the number isn't transposed? I find a 609637 but not a 609673.

    I haven't checked US suppliers but they are both available new at 230 English Pounds at Eurospares in the UK. 609702 cable is 425 English Pounds.

    Geez, I hope my car doesn't need both those pieces!

    well that proves it! mine (8) is #39799 and does not match up with US cars in some respects. seems like it was done with a halfway DOT conversion. i've got the US side marker lights and stickers for DOT but no door bars. even the wiring is euro, that was my first tipoff when i went to fix the hack job radio install.
