Successor to the Berlinetta Boxer, the Ferrari Testarossa was built from 1984 to 1991. Designed by Pininfarina, it is powered by a 4,943 cc flat-twelve, located behind the cockpit and driving the rear wheels.

This 1985 Ferrari Testarossa is a low-mileage example, having covered just 12,700 kilometres. Striking in Rosso Corsa, it has tan leather seating and matching cockpit carpets. The engine compartment would benefit from detailing but is otherwise in fine condition. The car’s original tool kit is included in the sale. Originally delivered to a Venetian prince, Victor-Emmanuel de Savoie, it has not seen recent use and should be thoroughly recommissioned for the road before being placed in service. A very straight, early Testarossa, it will be the source of much enjoyment for its new owner.


Ferrari Testarossaen var efterfølger til Berlinetta Boxeren og blev bygget fra 1984 til 1991. Den er konstrueret af Pininfarina og drives af en 4,943 cc ’flat-twelve’ som er placeret bag førerkabinen og driver baghjulene.

Denne 1985 Ferrari Testarossa er et eksemplar, der kun har kørt få kilometer, nemlig 12,700. Den stråler i Rosso Corsa og har gyldenbrune lædersæder og matchende førerkabinetæpper. Motorrummet ville nyde godt af lidt omsorg, men er ellers i fin stand. Bilens oprindelige sæt værktøj medfølger. Oprindeligt leveret til en venetiansk prins, Victor-Emmanuel de Savoie, har den ikke været brugt for nylig og bør indkøres grundigt inden den tages i brug på vejen. En meget ligefrem, tidlig Testarossa, der vil være kilde til stor fornøjelse for sin nye ejer.
