Equipment
SF shields, later 5-spoke alloy wheels, air conditioning.
Condition
Very good repaint with some overspray around the hood and in the wheelwells. Lightly stretched original upholstery looks newer than the 24,095 miles on the odometer. There is a small area of microblisters on top of the rear fenders and the dashtop is badly sun rotted and pulling away from the defroster vents. Engine cover latch is broken.
Market commentary
Sold for $64,800 at Branson Spring in 2012, then $104,500 at the same auction in 2016, it dipped to $80,300 at Bonhams Amelia last year and has added just 23 miles to the odometer since then. The pre-sale estimate range here is irrational and the reported high bid should have been more than enough to see this rather disreputable Testarossa on its way to a new owner. Assuming that there was money at the underbid, say $95K, the seller even would have made a small profit after commission. Now it's just another Testarossa getting shopworn on its way to another auction.
