    Hello,

    Growing up in the 80's and 90's I have always liked the design language of the Ferrari of that era and knew at one point I will own one.

    Thank God for his blessings I am able to acquire a life long dream, it is the quintessential Ferrari for me from a design perspective.

    Hopefully in years down the road I can express the same narrative for an F40 which is my no.1 dream car.

    I am a now proud owner of a 1992 Ferrari 512TR (SN 39058).

    Just need to get it here quickly and listen to my 80's & 90's mixtape with the likes of Rhythm is a Dancer, What is love, Carless Whisper and Beat it.

    Pictures are attached and hope you enjoy my short briefing.

    Congratulations, what a great looking car! As someone who grew up in the 80's as well, I too want to buy a TR sooner rather than later - and have been planning to do so since the age of 8 ;-)

    Congrats - but is that the correct SN? My 1990 is 83958. Should your 1992 be 139058 perhaps?

    ???

    Beautiful 512! Put some sort of seat covers on it ASAP. Crema seats will absorb denim like a dry sponge in a puddle.

    Congrats!!
    Nice choice! I have the exact same year and color combo.
    We are very similar as I have the same story from my youth and I agree on the F40.
    I too just did my exhaust.
    Went with the secondary cat delete pipe and Capristo exhaust and she sounds glorious!
    Enjoy
