    I have a few questions because I am planning to make some majour modifications to this vehicle:

    1. Is it possible to outfit the vehicle with XM Satellite Radio?
    2. Do you think the Ferrari dealerships in Canada have odometres to install into the vehicle to indicate Kilometres per Hour?

    Don't know about item 1 but presumably it should be possible to trace a Euro speedo/sender either on Ebay or from the official stockholder www.ferrariparts.co.uk - you might want to ask in the Canadian section if there are other alternatives - such as recalibration

    Seriously though, it is also possible to dismantle the speedo and redo the Perspex dial so that it reads in kph. This is fairly easy to do as the pointer just pushes on and the dial face is held on with 2 screws. You don't need to recalibrate or change the sender. Alternatively you could replace the face with a kph one.

    To illustrate my point here is a picture of a tachometer:

    I should mention that I have done/doing some major modifications to my Mondial...


    Thinking about it I may be willing to part with the speedo face from mine (it is in kph). I will consider this.

    Oh and there is one other thing. I don't yet have an Albertan operator's licence. Would there be any problems transporting the vehicle into Canada while I am waiting for the licence?
