About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good repaint and attractive interior with little evident use. Old undercoat in the wheelwells. Clean, orderly engine compartment. Impressively competently executed and presented.

Market commentary

An intriguing hot rod Ferrari that has had two lives, first as a Bob Norwood special with a twin turbo Testarossa engine and then later tamed with the present F512 M powerplant. While the turbo Testarossa engine is reputed to have developed 1,000+hp, the current powerplant promises to be much more drivable. It was sold at Worldwide's Houston auction in 2006 with the twin turbo setup for a modest $60,500, a case where simplification and drivability vastly enhance the value.
