How long is a piece of string really You can start with 10k and a 400i or similar, and work your way up. The 3x8 series are relative "low" cost maintenance and come in a variety of forms, from 15k 308GT4 to 40k 328 for a minter.

Lets try and narrow it down ... what's your budget for purchase ? what's your budget for running costs ? do you want a GT with 2+2 or 4 seats (e.g. kids) or a small sporty number ?

Mondial T (not the earlier ones). Galvanised body, ABS, power steering, 300bhp 348 engine, front and rear luggage compartments, 2+2 accomodation etc. Cheap as chips and not common like 360s 355s etc.

Got to be magnum PI 328 or Chevy Chase/Christie Blinkly (National Lampoon)308.

Out of curiosity how much have you guys driven a Mondial T? I've only had mine for a few years now (my third Ferrari, though I've driven loads more) and was wondering where you think I have gone wrong. Obviously you will relate your greater experience with this model first so I can judge the quality of your comments.

I normally don't like the look of mondials, I don't particularly like the look of the black one you posted...but that red one looks absolutely gorgeous, I love the look of it especially with the 355 wheels on it very nice indeed are there any more pics of them? and how much do they go for? I have been considering dipping into the 348 spyder market for some time now (biding my time ) and one of these might well tempt me

Use Google Images, plenty of pics there.
