    Hello Everyone,

    I am new to this forum and hoping to connect with some individuals who currently or previously have owned a Tesarossa Monospecchio.

    I am excited about the purchase of my 1986 Testarossa.

    Does anyone else currently have a black on tan TR?

    Congratulations, glad to see the food bank is paying off! :D Who knew!?

    I'm an Ontarian living in Nevada. Always need more Canadians around here.

    Hahah. Do you still get back to Ontario often?

    It's my first older classic Ferrari, so I am sure there are many people who can lend some great advice along the way:)

    Not since before the pandemic, unfortunately. All of my family is still there though. My mom hasn't even met my 5 year old (they do get to video chat).

    Get set with a mechanic you can trust and keep the relationship positive. I was able to run a driver 355 for way, way less than the nightmare stories about them because of that friendship and lack of pressure on them if they needed more time or work approval.

    Sorry to hear that about seeing family. Hopefully you will soon!

    I agree in regards to finding someone I trust. Do you still have the 355?

    Black is a good color on TR's. I always though a really good flame job would be just the thing on one.

    1 owner car. Very cool.

    Is it a Canadian version?

    If so take a picture of the rubber spacer between the rear fender and the rear bumper and post it.

    I bet very few here have seen the modification made for the Canadian crash bumpers. US had 3 MPH rear bumper. Canada had 5 MPH rear bumper. US was like all the others but Canada was different.

    Beautiful piece of art:0

    I wonder how the pricing will go in the future with Testarossas.

    Being a V12 gated manual I feel they are still way undervalued. Any thoughts?

    I was going to ask everyone is it safe to rev the testarossa car in neutral. Somone told me it wasn't recommended.
