For Sale Attn Collectors! The finest, most original and most expensive Testarossa anywhere.

As brand new as one can get!

 

last belt service?
last time on road?
last fluid service?

 

So awesome to see cars like this one. It made me think 'How much depreciation per mile driven from the new owner'. $5 a mile? More?

 

There are at least three that I know of that have less than 1,000 miles on them. SAD......

 

Receive any info?

 

^ no

 

Trailer this one straight to your preferred garage for a major service....and then some (fuel lines, seals etc...).

 

You had it on the road with 35 year old tires? Bold. I'm sure it was a short test drive but those things are hockey pucks

Wish GoodYear would make them again. Best commercial out there.

 

I saw this car in person and it is truly a museum quality perfect car. Like walking into a Ferrari showroom in 1990. Excellent!

 

The Goodyear factory still stands here in Goodyear, AZ by the airport and so does their first store that is still in operation.

 

So I purchased a 1991 TR with fifty percent LESS miles than this car a few years ago. I DID drive it on the original tires to a car show about six miles away.
The tires while looking new, ARE pretty rock like. Rides rough. Not much fun, thinking that at any point a tire could disintegrate, taking out the fender of an unmolested car. I've since acquired another set of rims and NEW tires and can save the originals for ??????

I frankly don't understand how someone who paid 180K in 1990 thinks that virtually parking the car is wise. 180K in 1990 is 425K in 2025 dollars. Yes the car remains pristine, but for what? So it can sell for 260K 35 years later, almost 200K less than the value of your money? In 4500 miles the original owner NEVER even was kind enough to allow someone else to enjoy the car? WOW. Frankly I think that's kind of a disgusting. Not dissing your car, but I frankly wonder what possessed me to buy one pretty much like it. Fortunately, I have more than one. Your car actually appears to be NICER than my car with 50% less miles on it!! So MAYBE the obsessed original owner, was better at maintaining his car and being CAREFUL, than my cars original owner who died at 94 years old and drove the car into his mid eighties! Your car LOOKS perfect! GLWS!

 

Has the seat belt recall been performed?

 

Does anybody know where can I buy the new Pirellis Color edition for a F12 Berlinetta?

Great first post!

 

F12 should NOT drive on Pirelli's but on the far better Michelin Pilot Sport 4S!

 

Car is sold, so I can pass comment.
Just a little postscript from someone who has assessed a great number of testarossas in my time..
4 K miles is/ would be really nice, most of my 4 testarossa's were between 2 and 6 thousand miles..
I know what it should look like..
To me the entire engine compartment could pass for 30,000 miles
This black info badge coolant overflow tank badge does not look like a 4K miles car..
Not sure how it could prematurely wear out like that..

Just my 2 cents

Probably the fault of a detailer.

Also based on corrosion on the cap I wonder if it was on the plate and someone tried cleaning it off and it ate the finish.

 

That cap is cadium plated from new, the only way it degrades is through use or through weather elements...
I see much clutch plate dust pent up in air passage out of flywheel.
A detailing would show a clean engine compartment...this is not a detailed engine

Many funky things happen to Ferraris, Every car has a story...I just am doubtful this one is as it is claimed!

 

The superlatives were kind of over the top in this ad. I agree with msdesignltd- I saw the cap and overflow tank originally and thought how weird. Both my 14,000 mile and my 3000 mile car, look new in this area. So "without question" maybe MY cars are the finest and most valuable examples in the world!

Obsessive washing of these cars, with water going through the hood and then resting on the unprotected engine and components, drying over time, instead of being blown off, causes corrosion. 308's, 328's, all the mid engine cars have the same issue. The water washing off the TOP of the engine cover is going somewhere.

hate to say it, but every bit of foam in this perfect car is NOT perfect like the day it left Maranello. The foam on top of the headliner has disintegrated, the foam used as seals in the heating system has turned into powder. All the rubber has disintegrated. I KNOW as my 3000 mile car which had impeccable care, has the same issues as my two other TR's. AGE is unforgiving. If a person was to get in any 35 year old car, and look up at the perfect looking headliner- even in this perfect car- it's hanging down an inch or more, because the foam that glued it to the roof has rotted. So, far from being" perfect and original", as the day it left Maranello. Shiny paint isn't all of the story.

Congrats to the OP that sold the car.
