event, 5 February 2020.
Estimate:
€60,000 - €80,000
- Offered from the Poster Car Collection

engine

Built as a U.S.-specification example, this Testarossa was
completed by Ferrari in November of 1987 and finished in Nero
paintwork over a matching Nero interior. As evidenced by its
original window sticker, the car was shipped from Maranello to Los
Angeles and placed on a truck destined for Grand Prix Motors in
Seattle, Washington. Its first owner was George Heiser of Seattle,
and he took delivery of his new Ferrari on 14 March 1988.
Heiser retained his Testarossa until at least 1995, when it was
purchased by Keith R Beneson of Kent, Washington. The car remained
with him for nearly twenty years, travelling just 5,949 miles from
new. Purchased by the current owner in 2015, the Testarossa was
exported to the UK, where it has remained ever since.
In July of 2016, the car received an engine-out service, which
included replacing the cambelts. Since then, the car has been
driven less than fifty miles, and it remains in excellent condition
inside and out. In addition to the aforementioned original window
sticker, the car is offered with its original owner's manuals
(including the original service manual), toolkit, jack, and a
six-piece Schedoni luggage set.
