1989 Ferrari Testarossa

Penned by the Pininfarina design house and released in 1984, the Ferrari Testarossa was the ultimate 1980's retro status symbol with stunning in your face styling and performance derived from the Formula 1 312 T engine.

With the iconic Ferrari wedge profile, huge side air intakes shielded by 5 long strakes, a thrilling forward driving position and a fender to fender louvered rear grill, this Ferrari not only looked fast, it devoured 0-100 kmh in just 4.8 seconds.

Corresponding to the original delivery certificate, this stunning Testarossa was sold new by Maranello Concessionaires, Sydney in December of 1989. Optioned in iconic Giallo Fly paintwork over black leather interior this example has seen just 27,700 miles since new.

An original example, this car features the ultimate open-gate manual transmission no longer produced by Ferrari, 18inch alloys wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport rubber and also the optional factory Ferrari luggage and colour coded car cover, a nice collector's touch.

Overall the condition is simply outstanding, reflective of the low miles. Outside, the paint and bodywork is blemish free; the Giallo contrasts with the black trim nicely and the wheels are pristine.

Inside, the leather sports seats, steering wheel, dash and plush carpets look untouched. The original stereo and dash controls are spotless and the view from the driver's seat of the fire red dials urges you to hold that gear for just that fraction longer.

Included with the car are all of the original books including delivery certificate, log book and owners manual. The factory tools are also included with the car as well as a collection of period Testarossa memorabilia, something very hard to come by.

With the latest Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, Magnetti Marelli Microplex ignition and other modifications to lift power output to a very healthy 390 bhp at 5300 rpm, this shining example offers a thrilling drive.

With values of iconic Eighties supercars poised to skyrocket, now is definitely the time to buy a top tier example of Ferrari's Testarossa. After all, Michael Jordan had two.
