I believe it was the Alan and Vitus aluminium lugged carbon tube frames that where the first commercially available frames using carbon composite .. but these mimicked the aluminium frames and where not engineered.
The first commercial monocoque was Kestrel in 1986. What manufacturers like Ferrari bought was engineering knowledge of the material to the bike industry.
