Newbie!!

Finally I can share my passion for these wonderful machines with a great group of people. My family has had this car, a 1986 Testarossa, since early 1987. It has only 6012 miles and fires up quite nicely but the slow-down lights light up ocassionally. The car has been parked for 2 years when yesterday I fired it up; it did so nicely! I want to get it in perfect running order but need help with the parts: where to get them? Nice to see TR fans! Great website, will be stickin' around!

Best wishes!

Hello Georgie, whereabout are you? Good to hear a queen to be used again.

Look under the sponsors, many parts are available all over the world.

 

Yeah I just e-mailed MVPEurosports with the parts I need which are simple like the radiator cap and filters. In Puerto Rico we have many Ferraris but mostly post TR models so parts are very hard to get for me; they won't even service it at the dealership because "it's to old" (exact quote from the service technician). I've looked at some websites but wanted to try other options. Thanks a lot for your quick response surely I'll look deeper into it.

Cool, I've been thinking about visiting South America for a while now. Glad to hear there's Ferraris there. I read an article recently that Stirling Moss took a drive in the Andes mountains recently & it was one of the best drive he ever had. Sad to hear that they aren't interested in old models but it's not that difficult on a TR since it's very mechanical rather than electronics.

 

....they don't have much electronics, Bosch JeTronic ECU I believe. I've read some articles on driving in South America and it just sounds so great! Whenever you are around the Caribbean you must visit Puerto Rico! Roads here aren't that great but we do have a lot of Ferraris. How are the roads in Singapore?
