I'd be interested in the bumbers...
no, i'm afraid you're a bit off... but, i could be wrong as well. looks a lot different when driving on the ground, offcourse!
Any updates yet? Antwerpen (Belgium), Italian Car Show, September 1993 I took pics of many cars, including this black 308. Now take a look in the left top corner, there's one of the Moneytron-Mondials we're talking about, the last time I saw it. Unfortanetely I don't have better pics of it... sorry...

Good action Alex! It looks like it's painted in the Jamaica colors, yeah rasta man, now woman no cry man, welcome to pimpers paradise! Get up, stand up, don't forget the fight. Where's the fight to get hold on this beauty?
Can u believe i only spotted this thread yesterday. Anyway i for one am not dissapointed that the cars turned out to be the mondials. in my opinion they are part of the ferrari racing history and should be saved. does anyone know anything about the racing history of the two cars? plus what are they actually worth in their current state?
I could be wrong but as far as I know the two cars only competed in the 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 1989 for the Moneytron Team of J.P. Van Rossem. One of the cars (driven by Bertrand Gachot, Harald Huysman, Keke Rosberg) finished the race as last but was not classified, because it had not covered sufficient race distance. The other car (driven by Mauro Bianchi, Pascal Witmeur, Philippe Martin) didn't finish. They gave up after 36 laps because of a tire problem). So far the racing history...
Hmmm, not great history but still better than a boring road car that has done nothing than cause a coffee spill I'll take the Keke Rosberg car ... after all how many people own cars that a F1 WC drove in anger? Pete
and wasn't he the dude who won the first aussie F1GP?? i was only 9 years old, but was obsessed with it back then coming to my home town... "adelaide comes alive in 85"... briefly, but they managed to restore it to it's usual dead state again.
Still in contact with the seller. He is not in a hurry and I am not also. (not wanting to drive up prices ) The seller is out of the country a lot that's why we didn't arrange a date yet to look at the cars. It seems they are in very bad condition and not 100% sure they are worth it to buy. I'll keep you all updated in this tread as soon as I have new information.
Guys I hope you'll save these Mondials and restore them. They were raced in the Belgian Touring Car Championship (Procar 1990 series) so not only in the 24 hour race at Spa and did not bad against stiff competition (BMW M3, Audi V8). I've seen them race and were fighting for the lead (with Eric van de Poele at the wheel) at Zolder. Very exciting! Unfortunately a wheel broke off otherwise Van de Poele would have won. Great memories... Historically these are the best Mondials one could find (don't know of any other race Mondials). Ciao, Peter
Intresting! Would be great to find out more about the history! So they didn't perform that bad after all?
Talk about grave-digging!!!! I got all excited when I saw this thread, only to realise it was an ancient one...
i have no idea if roel is still in contact with the owner. only thing i know is that they are no longer in the barn, that i know for sure
I contacted the owner several times but he was totally not interested in the cars but also not interested to sell them to someone. I asked a few times to make an appointment but he did'nt want to make time for it. After a while I let it rest.
I know this is an old thread but does anyone know where they went or what happened, I love threads like this especially when Mondials are involved
Here are some more pictures of the Moneytron Mondials. The colour ones I took during the New Race Festival at Zolder, Belgium in 1990. The two racepictures are from a Belgian car magazine Auto&Sport covering the same event (magazine no longer exsists). The other one with the specs is from the event programme.
