Ferrari Testarossa

Now available is this stunning, low mileage Ferrari Testarossa finished in Rosso Corsa with Crema.

The Testarossa is one of the most iconic sports cars ever built, with such a unique and stylish design the car is labelled today as the ”orignal poster car” of the 80’s and 90’s. First unveiled in 1984 at the Paris Motor Show, the Testarossa was the successor to the Berlinetta Boxer and was the last car to adopt the mid engine layout. The car was available with manual transmission only and featured a number of specially engineered elements in order to maximise the cars performance. The engine layout kept the centre of gravity to the middle of the car thus providing better stability and improving the cars cornering. The name ‘Testarossa’ pays homage to the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testarossa, a world famous sports car champion. Testarossa simply means ‘Red Head’ which refers to the red painted cam covers on the engine. 

This particular car was delivered new to a Mr Walker of Great Missenden who had a collection of various exotic cars. The car was first delivered in March of 1992 and was Specified with Rosso Corsa exterior, Crema interior and Rosso carpets. Due to having a collection, Mr Walker subsequently did not drive the Testarossa as much as he had initially planned to. In a statement of facts present with the car dated June 2016, Mr Walker explained that he drove the Testarossa a few times to his factory in Leeds, Ferrari meetings and when possible during the weekends. Within this statement he also explains that he lived abroad for some time and his collection was put into storage. Due to owning the car for a long period of time and not using it, he sold the Testarossa to another local collector in 2016. The current owner has cherished the vehicle and as a result has never driven it, meaning that effectively this is a 1 owner Testarossa.

Complete with all original books, various invoices and correspondence, this incredible low mileage example is perfect for any collection and is ready for its new owner.
