Ferrari Mailing List: Valeo Transmission in a 1992 Mondial Convertible

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

I saw the following in an eBay listing and don't have a clue what they are  
talking about. Oddly enough, this came up after the discussion about being able 
 to take Blackhawk with me and possibly considering adding a Mondial to the  
fleet:
 
"The Valeo Clutchless transmission was a precursor  to F1 semi-automatic 
shifting which basically there is no clutch pedal, but the  clutch is actuated 
by 
the engine speed and the gear box shifter.  Between 1989 and late 1993 there 
were  only about 1010 cabriolets built with the optional Valeo transmission  "
 
Is this really an asset on a car such as a '92 348 Mondial with about 20k  
mi. if it were to be in good condition and yes, I realize that "good" condition 
 
is a rather ambiguous term but I'm talking about no damage history, 
mechanically  sound with proper maintenance verifiable by records, etc. What 
would be a 
 reasonable (starting with a "cLyDe" price and ending with a "Brian" price on 
 such a car?
