Hi John Yes, you are probably right, customs charges are a real nightmare these days. Best wishes, Mauro
I've got a set of 348 wheels with bolts that came off my 1983 QV, I'm open to offers. Sadly they are located in Italy which might be a problem...
1983 Mondial 3.0 QV in Azzurro Metallico [ATTACH]
Actually, if you look at the recent 'Oil leak at the dipstick?' thread there are some great photos of the dipstick and it's location in the...
Hi Matthew, yes on my 1983 QV the dipstick is in the right hand upper corner of the engine bay, so close to the rear window. It doesn't look like...
I'm no expert but, seems to me, the different colour on the exhaust pipes must mean something is wrong. I think sooty black is the most normal.
For years my 1983 QV had an intermittent fault. It would always start up from home but after getting fuel, or eating at a restaurant it often...
Thank you, we live in the rough end of Tuscany but Maranello is just 80 miles away, the other side of that mountain you can see in the background....
Hi Yelcab. Yes, I'm sure you are right. I'll get done as much as I can. Hi Afterburner, that suspension is gorgeous. We live on a hill with...

Good news. I got the car back yesterday. They replaced the bushes in the gearbox linkage. All the spares were available and cheap. No drama....
I went to see my closest mechanic, he seemed to know all about the problem so its booked in with him next Friday. :)
Very helpful. Thanks AndruL.
Thanks Conan.
Hi Conan. Thanks for your reply. If I have managed to break the selector fork could that be repaired without removing the gearbox?
I think all the Mondial 8s have black plenums and the early QVs also, until they changed to red from about April 1983, as far as I can tell. I...
My black plenum has now lost almost all its paint but if the opportunity presents itself I'll put it back to black. Afterburner, my car has 2...
Hi Afterburner, that makes sense. I guess they used up all the old parts where they could.
My early 1983 QV (45157) has a black plenum and just says Ferrari, not Quattrovalvole. I heard they used up all the Mondial 8 parts before...
