The latest Cavallino #116 has an article about a series I 500 Mondial and it
mentions that more Mondial information and in particular information about
Series II Mondials can be found in issue numbers 37, 61, 62 and 63.
Sorry I don't have them handy right now so I can't say whether those issues
might have information about your father's car.
