    But that has 4 seats, right?

    I don’t claim that a 4-seater V12 can’t be valuable — only that a 2-seater is a sure thing.

    Through the middle of the 88 run, monodado was the way, I’ve heard April was the cutoff. My chassis 737xx is monodado and 88 titled. Not uncommon, just not the average. My understanding is 88.5 started in late April 1988 and ran through summer. Standard (non TRX) wheels dual mirror and non mousetrap seatbelts outside North America, my documented Euro car had an 86 cradle, 85 transaxle and 87 engine in an 88 body. Ymmv....

    A nice back shelf, but no faux seats. Aka a proper 2-seater a la the more well known 250 Cabriolets

    Did not know that. My euro-spec car, an ‘88, was originally delivered to Saudi Arabia and has the 5-bolt wheels. I don’t know in what month it was made.

    I assume the 5-bolt wheels and ABS always go together, and vice versa. Feel free to correct me.

    Thanks for the info!

    Or he's thinking of the 328's where ABS went on the 89's. There's always talk about the 88 1/2 cars.

    Better photos than the 7k car but it's got quite a bit of wear.

    Huh, I was even wronger than I thought. Thanks for the information!

    Wonder what motivated them to ditch the monodado wheels if not to accommodate different brakes? I wish I had the center lock wheels, but I'm getting over it, slowly.

    There are lookalike wheels made to appear like the single nut which could be a good option!

    The TR SPC indicates:
    Monodado = up to SN 75995
    5-lug = SN 75997 and after

    It's interesting to see the original invoice for the 1988 at 135K. In 1988 the car market really went crazy- Ferrari prices skyrocketed. The invoice for my 1991 jumped to 179K. Quite the increase in three years. By 1991 however the bubble had burst, and Ferrari prices had already fallen.

    So Ferrari Testarossa's are selling used in 2022 for what they sold new 30 years ago. In 1988 I had a 63 250SWB California Spyder stored in my warehouse. It sold in 1989 for 650K. Today it's worth what- 15 million or more?

    Testarossa's seem like a bargain, as they're still selling for quite a bit below their new cost, to just a little bit more. When a person takes into account the value of the dollar changing over the last thirty years, these cars are selling at a 50% discount from new.
