    Just bought today a 1991 Testarossa...26k miles, Red/Tan, but with a black dash and red carpets.....unique I think.....was being sold through Daniel Schmitt in St Louis, they are doing a new clutch and complete engine out belt service. Can't wait until its delivered, hopefully next week, when I will post pics of the car in my garage....where will the value of these cars go?

    Invaluable car! I think the market is just awakening on those. People seem to be buying them a lot lately.

    Congrats for your new acquisition. Interior must be very nice.

    Fantastic!

    It`s so nice that people like you are buying these cars and giving them a second life, taking them out of hiding, servicing them and putting them back into proper use.

    To many 80`s kids, it`s the most iconic Ferrari ever made - and if they`re anything like me, the Testarossa means more to them than the Ferrari brand itself!

    They need to be out on the open road and at shows and cruises to show the people who never knew about them what a completely refreshing and different car they made compared to other Ferrari`s.

    Have fun!

    I lost a deal twice on 2 different RVs because I wanted to think about it. In the salesman office there was a sign.

    '' the vehicle you're looking today and want to think until tomorrow, someone saw it yesterday and will buy it today''

    I had to believe in it!

    Ferraristi,

    Congrats and a big "FREEZE....MIAMI VICE!" out to you! Yes, you get to say that every time you jump out of the car. Please leave your socks at home.

    Ferraristi,


    I'm a Lamborghini guy but I absolutely love the Testarossa! F 430's, 458's don't do much for me.

    Same here! Would love to add a Jalpa or Diablo (or Countach obviously!).

    Yeah like with Ferrari`s the modern ones are miles better but I just can`t relate to them.

    Every time I go into the garage it`s like back to the 80`s - and all those hours playing video games driving my imaginary dream Testarossa on a sunny palm tree lined road have come to life.

    Now if only I lived in Florida and the sunny palm tree lined road would come to life too!
