    I live in the South of France where I can use my 512 TR.

    It s a grey One (grigio 700/c) with red leather (black dashboard) N 95832 sold new in France in january 1993 (MY 1993).

    I m the second owner since 2008.

    This color was an evidence for me when I saw a testarossa for sale in a magazine in the 90's ... I was around sixteen ....

    Many years later, I found my 512 TR in the same combo....

    I can say that If I had the possibility to order it new I should have chose it like that.

    I hope to keep it as long as possible.

    I enjoy so much the sound of the Engine and the shape of the car.

    Thanks for reading.

    Nicolas

    Welcome to the flat-12 section, Nicolas!

    You car's color combo is absolutely stunning, one of the best I've seen. Congratulations on achieving your childhood dream! I followed the same path as well, it's a great feeling.

    You will find more help and knowledge here than anywhere else so jump in, participate, and enjoy your gorgeous grigio 512!

    I live in the south of France as well, I'm sure we'll cross paths someday.

    Very nice! Welcome to the flat 12 section. I have vacationed many times in the south of France. One of the most beautiful places, and nicest people on this planet.

    Thanks for all your message.

    Happy to find Also French owner like Chabch.

    I have n t any video right Now but I m sure that list of you (perhaps all) perfectly know the sound of the twelve cylinder.

    My exhaust is stock so it still soft.

    " la vie en gris " cause my other cars (including daily ) are grey or dark.

    Very nice color combo, the only color combo I would want on a TR besides my black/black.

    Fantastique!!

    Gris sur rouge ; une fabuleuse combinaison.
    Grey on red ; a fabulous combo.

    I keep my 512 TR (black on creme) in the south of France, near Avignon.
    Where is yours?

    Sounds like we have enough TR in this area to organize a lunch&drive in the spring or summer! Maybe others could join from a little farther away as well. We'll figure something out!

    Congrats Nicolas, what a beauty!

    I will be in the south of france next summer with my red on black 512tr (admittedly rather conventional vs the great exceptional combos here! although the red carpets and original yellow French lights certainly add some character!).

    Could be a neat little event if we all meet, let me know if you organise something.

    Good idea to meet in the South with all this différent TR color !


    @ Alex Wagner : near htt Castellet track / Var.

    @ lafluth : i had yellow lights as you can see on the pic below. But I decided to change Them for white ones... I keep the originals in a box...

    Be very careful with the spare yellow pair of 512TR foglights as you cannot buy any foglights anymore !
