    EU Market Find: Rare Blue Chiaro Ferrari Mondial with Red Carpets

    What: 1982 Ferrari Mondial Coupé
    Color: Blu Chiaro (bluchiaro; metallic UNI; 503/C; Ferrari)
    VIN:  N/A
    Mileage: 53,000 km shown, 32,932 miles
    Bid Price: € 45,900
    CarFax: N/A
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Bari, Italy
    Listing: Autoscout24.de

    If there’s a bargain Ferrari nowadays then maybe that’s the Mondial. It may not feature the unique Bertone design or the romance of the Dino GT4, but it’s got a similar 2+2 configuration that will allow you to drive around with some of your shorter friends.

    For this car, we turn to Europe where rare and eccentric specifications are more commonly found. Though a factory color, we think Blu Chiaro over Crema leather is still a sophisticated and rare specification. Throw in red carpets and that becomes decidedly more sophisticated and rare.

    This one is private party in Italy, which means you should be aware and consider costs of exportation and potential VAT taxes that could be associated. That said, the price is reasonable and an Italian pedigree to a Ferrari is pretty great, not to mention it’s likely never seen salt.

    If the car is as advertised, it’s also a first owner, original paint and recently serviced example. These also make it very compelling.

    EU Market Find: “Monte Carlo Worthy” Bahama Gold Range Rover Classic 3-Door

    What: 1982 Land Rover Range Rover Classic 3.5 V8
    Color: Bahama Gold (bahamagold; non-metallic UNI; LRC235; Land Rover)
    VIN: N/A
    Mileage: 4250 km, 2,640 miles
    Price: €59,950

    “Monte Carlo Worthy” is maybe the best way ever to describe a pristine vintage luxury car, and that’s precisely how Gallery Aaldering leads in explaining the Bahama Gold example you see here. Why? Well, for starters it spent its last ten years residing in Monte Carlo.

    Remember, this is the place where F1 champions valet whatever the hell they want to because they are F1 champions, or cruise the streets of this ultra exclusive town past yachts and casinos. Having the most expensive anything is likely passé, though perhaps so too is going back to Monte Carlo with someone else’s former Range.

    So maybe don’t go back to Monte Carlo. Even still, if you’re seeking one of the best known examples of Range Rover’s 2-door early trucks with an incredible specification including manual transmission, we know where you can find one.
