This Ultra-low mileage 1988 Ferrari Testarossa is a US-market example of the famed first generation Pininfarina design finished in Bianco (White) over Rosso (Red) leather. Much less common than the garden variety red, the white Testarossa was immortalized in the Miami Vice series. This three owner example shows a sparingly used 8500 miles. The 4.9 liter 48-Valve “Redhead” Flat 12 still purrs like new. Gear changes are facilitated via the original 5 speed transmission and gated shifter.
Ownership history and mileage are documented by the clean Car-Fax. The car was purchased new in Chicago Illinois in August of 1988, and sold to the second owner in 2001 with only 4165 miles. The third owner, living in Florida purchased the car with just over 5K miles and performed the Spyder modification.
One of the most recognizable cars in the world, this Testarossa stands out in a crowd and is guaranteed to garner more attention than almost any other vehicle on the road today. The Spyder modification makes this car unique, and is very well executed.
The current owner, an avid automobile collector, purchased the car in 2012 and has only put on a few hundred miles. Stored in a climate controlled garage, the Bianco paint shows very well. The custom wheels, grill and LED lighting help to give the car a more modern look.
A lifetime ofcovered garagestorage has treated the finish well, with only a few minor blemishes. The car has never been in an accident as evidenced by the clean Carfax. The previous owner claimed that the timing belts were replaced in 2010, but no documentation was provided. No other service records outside of the carfax are available.
This car does not currently have a convertible or removable hardtop. A removable hardtop could be fabricated at a reasonable cost, and with the value of Ferrari Testarossas continuing to climb, a return to a coupe configuration is always possible.
Not for the shy or faint of heart, this is a rare opportunity to own a unique and unmistakable supercar that will have everyone looking in your direction.
On site inspections are welcomed and recommended.
I have received a number of inquiries as to the provenance of this Ferrari Testarossa and wanted to emphasize to all bidders that this is a real Ferrari Testarossa built in Maranello Italy, and customized in Miami Florida. Validating the origin of the car, the CarFax shows the date of delivery, ownership history, mileage records, and some service history. The car retains its original drivetrain and suspension, and has never been an accident of any kind. I can provide a copy of the CarFax upon request. Thank you and good luck bidding.
