Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Showing 38,992 miles, which is a little high in Ferrari world, although it had an engine-out service at 33,000 miles and a transmission rebuild shortly after. The paint is pretty dull (and very faded on the engine cover), and there is a small scratch below the right headlight. Lots of chips in the side strakes as well. Black paint is flaking off around the driver's door lock. Serious wear on the driver's seat, especially on the bolsters. The carpets are a little worn as well. Some Testarossas led the typical babied life that most Ferraris do, but some were driven a lot and not particularly carefully, either. This is one of the latter.
Market commentary
This is the lowest-priced Testarossa we've seen at auction in several years, but buyers' indifference to less-than-perfect cars was on full display in Amelia this year and this one got little attention. Bonhams sold it only a few months (and 20 miles) ago at Quail Lodge for $78,400.
