    My first Ferrari was a metallic black 328 which is now owned by Bullfighter in Ca. I traded that for a Blue Scuro Boxer - which was might pretty. I've been without for a year and now want a Testarossa in a unique color. BUT I don't want a color so unique that I can't every sell it for a fair price.

    Yes, I have done asearch and viewed some previous threads on TR colors. But you all might have some new ideas and pictures - my wife tells me that the popularity of clothing colors change every year!!

    So, lets see your thoughts.

    Cheers, george

    Indeed. This is a mighty fine example. Just got the interior pictures and it is a sweet on the inside as on the outside.

    If I ever saw a black metallic Testarossa, I'd be all over it.

    Nero metallico is the best color I've had on any car. Period. It's just hard to find.

    Miami Vice white appeals to me on the TRs - but I was told it is a hard resale color.

    Thanks for the kind words Tully.

    I always buy what I like..... Also seems like some of the different colors are gaining popularity nowadays, but I guess it is called re-sale red for a reason!

    I had a blue 328 before the TR & sold it pretty quickly as did the next owner.

    Now let's see some pics of the boxer! I have seen a Chiaro Boxer before & it was sweet!

    Does anybody remember the TR in my color but it had Light Blue interior??? Yikes.

    amazing color. i am sick of red... i went with a early black GTB this time. it seems to stand out amongs the other red cars here. best of luck to you in yout TR seach, i want one , but i think a Diablo is a better car, so i am on the fence at those price points.

    The interior is original. The US bits were removed and some paint work done by an expert in Atlanta named Bo Pirkle - who also happenned to own my former 328. Once you have had 12 it is hard to go back to 8!!

    I remember it being for sale @ SportAuto last year. Stunning example! Why did you sell? Do you know where it is now?

    Lovely color, Alex!
    I realize there is but a small following for blue cars.....but I am irresistably drawn to the elegance of this hue! Perhaps it's an acquired taste as one gets older.:)

    I have a white 91 Testarossa for sale.

    I can remember about 8-10 years ago a guy in New Orleans has a Mettalic black 86 Testarossa for sale, it was one of only 19 painted that color. He had the car for sale for at least 2 years and could not sell it. He eventually had it painted Red. I thought to my self what a waste a rare color like that and he painted it to look like ever other car out there.

    Oh well.
