Wow a Testrossa convertible

Interesting car, however, I noticied that it is offered for sale by Cosmopolitan motors... Be aware of Cosmopolitan motors, as my past experience with purchasing a car from them was (far) less than stellar!

Cheers,

Sam

 

I didnt think any were made. Only conversion spiders for the Testarossa. Right?

 

There was only 1 factory TR modded by Pininfarina for FIAT Pres Agnelli

Then I heard of a handful of factory 512TR

Most of the rest were built by Straman, Lorenz, or other companies.

I think Ultrasmith in NYC built a few targas

 

Yes this would be a conversion targa. Also some full convertibles were converted.

Is there a top? I'm guessing no since the ad doesn't mention it.

 

I talked to the dealer and yes it has the top, supposedly the conversion was done in Belgium.

But still does not come close to the sweetness of the Slutmobile.

 

Ive seen a yellow one, not a fan of the converision.

 

here are some pics of of the one original converatable.
not a bad design. however i think the colors kill it.

pics sent to me by another member on this forum.

Thanks, I think she needs to come out for a drive, hope its not too hot today

 

Very, very, very interesting!

When I saw this thread for the first time, I thought it was the Ultrasmith conversion, which has appeared here on FChat and on Ebay several times. But now I see that it's a different car!!!!

I suppose the conversion was done by the Belgium company EBS (Ernst Berg Styling), which was located in Brussels and owned by Dutchman Ernst Berg, an ex racedriver. As far as I know, they only made one car, but I have no confirmation of this info. See also my website:

Thanks for sharing!

 

That's a cool and very useful web site you have, thanks for putting it together!

Where did you get the image and conversion info for the yellow targa TR on your site?

I couldn't verify the car service history as well as some other info, so I've asked the dealer for vin number and more info, we'll see if he'll respond.

There was a short article about this car, published in a Dutch magazine ("Autokampioen") in 1985.

According to the Ebay site, the VIN is ZFFTA17B000055885, which represents an early European version Testarossa. I will also appreciate any additional information about this car that you might find!

 

That driver's seat has seen better days.

 

>That driver's seat has seen better days

Dah, another F-chatter saw the car and advised that make sure I actually see the car to know its true condition before buying/bidding, etc. I'd have dropped considering it long ago, if I wasn't for the targa (or convertible) aspect.
