We were lucky enough to locate this exceptional example in a Japanese collection early in 2018. Spectacular car - in the rare in the US, Rosso Corsa red over black leather combination. This is a one-owner car with remarkably low mileage - just under 11K miles. It is a JAPAN spec car with only 11K miles, complete and very original. Japan market Testarossas have the same Bosch KE Jetronic motor as the US spec cars. On its arrival in the US we had a complete engine out major service completed by Dino Motors, a Bay area Ferrari specialist shop, and a full professional detailing. Excellent overall condition, stock and all original. This car is basically perfect and needs nothing.
The body is in beautiful shape with bright, lustrous Ferrari red paintwork and all trim in perfect order. Just repainted the lower section of the front bumper which is a perfect match. Features dual side mirrors and body-color lower cladding. Pininfarina badges can be seen mounted behind the side inlet strakes.
The 16" wheels are the desirable late model 5 bolt style, fitted with brand new BF-Goodrich G-Force Sport tires - 225/50 up front and 255/50 out back. The undercarriage is clean and rust free.
The sumptuous interior is in pristine condition, showing only minor stretching to the driver’s seat leather. The dash, instruments, carpets and interior trim appear in perfect order and the classic aluminum shift gate is an authentic Ferrari touch. A Carrozzeria head unit is fitted behind the central dash door. The gated shifter features a dogleg 5-speed pattern and the air conditioning system benefits from recent servicing. Front compartment looks great with original carpeting in place. Plush headliner and overhead console look perfect.
Veglia instrumentation includes a 200 mph speedometer and a 10k rpm tach with a 6,750 rpm redline, as well as water and oil temperature gauges. The odometer shows just under 18k kilometers (~11k) miles.
The engine compartment shows beautifully, all stock, no evidence of modification or any items out of order. The 4.9-liter 48-valve flat-12 was factory rated at 390 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and 361 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm when new. Sole modification is a great sounding Tubi exhaust system. A complete, engine-out service was conducted by Dino Motors in San Mateo, California in March 2018 included a timing belt and tensioner replacement, a rebuilt water pump, new battery, brake booster, accessory belts, two new fuel pumps, a fuel pressure regulator, cam seals, as well as various gaskets and O-rings. Fluids for the brakes, engine, cooling system, transmission, and clutch were also recently replaced.
Overall condition is 9 of 10 points and this is a very fine example of one of the most dramatic and exciting GT cars ever built. Ready to enjoy and experience the exceptional performance of this true supercar classic. Runs perfectly, needs nothing, looks as new.
