    Love your TR!! Stunning color.
    Makes sense that the dash was black since they were born black from the factory. I guess brown dash with tan seats would probably clash with black cars.

    I agree. Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" has to be the best song ever played, period.

    Thanks for the links, keep the posts coming everyone!!!

    I believe the writers made a mistake and quoted engine number from the 512BBi's instead of the Testarossa's.

    Many now famous actor/actress got their break with Miami Vice besides those that had already been named are: Bruce Willis, Ed O'Neill, Helena Bonham Carter & Liam Neeson just to name a few.

    Ahhhhh....The "Swap Shop" in Ft. Lauderdale....I cannot believe that all those extremely valuable cars are located in such a Ghetto!!!!

    The owner of the Swap Shop was offered $1 Million for the Miami Vice Testarossa but turned it down....if you see the guys car collection you will understand why...he is absolutely LOADED!

    Dozens of actors and actresses played a role in Miami Vice. Don't forget Julia Roberts, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jimmy Smits, Chris Rock, Dennis Farina, Kyra Sedgwick, Ben Stiller and, of course, Ian McShane.

    To have not yet posted...

    Shamille must've died suddenly.

    Either that, or he's sobbing tears of joy that the rest of the world now sees his world, his way.

    The chase scene with the white Countach was great, but did make the Daytona look a bit old. It NEEDED to be chased by a TR. I kinda didn't get into that show when current, but you guys are making me want to get my ticket to see the remake.

    My TR is Blk on Tan with a brown dash....i am not a fan. I will probably have the interior redone in all black.

    Yup, Twice. In season 2 in Back in the World he played Colonel Maynard from Sonny's Vietnam days. He was involved in distributing dope that had been smuggled back in bodies in body bags.

    And in season 3 in Stone's War, he played the same character that was involved with a paramilitary unit in action in Nicaragua that kills a priest and was caught on tape.

    Sorry, didn't mean that in a bad way, it's just that I haven't seen any black TR's with the brown/tan treatment, so yours is rare I would have to say, probably still looks good.

    Does anyone know who painted the 2 black TR's white for the show? Maybe a shop near where they were filming in Dade county? That's probably a long shot but you never know.

    I think there was a company in TN that refurbished the daytona's between seasons and I think they built the TR stunt car made from a Pantera. I believe I read somewhere that they are the ones that painted the Testarossa's white.

    No offense taken....I would love a black dash car. Someday it will be recovered.

    I watched every episode. What a great show it was. The TR was a highlight for me also, the Daytona just looks too much like a Vette IMO.

    He has the collar turned up and the RayBans on furiously bidding away on the Stud Bling and the White Convertible Testarossa with the Diablo wing :D
