    Roel,

    I completely forgot to take pictures today. But there will be plenty in the future. :)

    Alex,

    Yes, Rosso corsa indeed! I think that this is the prettiest colour for this car.

    Well done Ton. Finally.
    It was about bloody time. I got a bit tired of always having to drive up to Belgium just so you could pretend you had a ferrari in the garage. Now, looks like I'll have to get a Testa too :)

    Congratulations again on the car. I know Veerle likes driving it aswell ;)

    Yes, Veerle loved the car. She thought that it would be a lot harder to drive, but she was very comfortable in the car.
    You are right Simon! :) Now you have to invite me to Switzerland so that you can pretend that you have a 12 cylinder in your garage!

    oh boy.... just the one that got me hooked on these damn cars in the first place.

    Congrats, you got yourself something special. Well, not like I have to remind you or anything. Pics will be more than welcome.

    One of the final Testarossa´s before the 512TR arrived?

    Thx Paul.

    Marnix,

    It is an early '91. So it is one of the final production year but not one of the very last ones. Wolfgang owns one of the very last ones produced.

    Ton,

    Congratulations, fine looking Testarossa you have there, so what changed your mind from a Black 512 tr??

    Bet you cannot wait for January to arrive, have fun when it does and remember lots of photos please.

    Regards,
    Phil.

    Congratulations Ton,

    Love the colour-combo! She looks fabulous.

    Have you considered changing back to the original steering wheel?
    Sorry, I'm a big fan of stock :)

    Phil,

    I testdrove both. For me personally the fun of driving really was the same. The price difference between a low milage Testarossa and 512 TR is rather big. I was looking at a difference of at least 20.000 euro. Mainly because I was looking for a low milage car with a well known history.
    I am happy that I made this choice. The car feels great and is in a PERFECT condition.

    Well spotted! :)
    The original steering wheel is with the car but I wanted to keep this 328 steering wheel. I am rather tall and this steeringwheel is a lot more comfortable for me. Now my legs can move freely. I will keep the original steeringwheel with the car. I am also a lover of stock. :)

    All Testarossa's have the black skirts! Only the 512 TR and the repainted Testarossa's have red skirts.
