Vehicle Description
Beautiful 3-owner example complete with all books, luggage, tools,
service records, keys, and window sticker! Only 43,085 carefully
driven miles with timing belt service just completed less than 500
miles ago! A superb investment piece in a fast-moving sportscar
market!
Nearly any auto enthusiast can recognize the always-distinctive
Ferrari Testarossa from just about any angle! Built from 1984-1991,
the Italian term Testarossa stood for "redhead" in English
translation making this Pininfarina-design yet another reflection
of their admiration of a woman's beauty! And thus, the magnificent
V12 engine's cam covers are painted red in recognition!
This gorgeous 1986 Ferrari Testarossa 'Monospecchio", or high
mirror, is finished in desirable Rossa Corsa with Tan Leather
interior! Only three meticulous owners have cared for this
automobile for the past 35 years accumulating just 43,085 miles
along the way. Features include 4.9L Flat 12-cylinder engine
producing 380 horsepower with gate-shifted 5-speed transmission,
climate-controlled air conditioning, 4-wheel disc brakes, power
windows & mirrors, power door locks, original 16" OZ knock-off
light alloy wheels with BF Goodrich tires, leather-wrapped MOMO
steering wheel, Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD sound system, and red carpeted
floor mats!
This special example sold new from Gaston Andrey Ferrari of
Framingham Inc. to the original Waltham, Massachusetts owner in
July 1986 and stayed in his care for 33 years! He would finally
part with his treasured car at that Greenwich Concours d'Elegance
in August 2018 when it caught the attention of a Connecticut
collector. At that time, it had just recently had a full engine-out
30K timing belt service performed by European MotorSports Sales &
Service that included the timing belt, tensioner bearings, rebuilt
water pump, camshaft seals & cover gaskets, valve lash adjustment,
all drive belts, new battery, 4-wheel alignment, fuel filters,
spark plugs, distributor caps & rotors, air filter, exhaust
gaskets, all new fluids including engine oil/filter & coolant. This
complete major service was completed in September 2017 at 42,596
miles and has traveled just 489 miles since. This new Connecticut
owner would have P1 Motorcars of Stamford, CT replace the steering
rack and tie rods, install new fuel accumulators, fresh NGK spark
plugs, service the air condition, and perform a new 4-wheel
alignment in June 2020.
It would trade hands one more time to a new owner in May 2021 who
is only selling to pursue something a better suited to his body
size. The Testarossa Monospecchio offered here is complete with all
original owner's manuals, two original keys, complete
Ferrari-branded tool kit, spare fuse & light bulb holder, spare
belts, and large tool bag with all tire changing equipment. All
included is the factory original 4-piece leather luggage with
travel bags, original window sticker, dealership invoice, first MA
title registration receipt, and all service records from brand
new!
The exotic import marketplace continues to find itself on a
tremendous increase for sports car collectors. It seems Ferrari's
may be on the forefront of these trends. Make no mistake that any
V12 powered example has already proven to be the vehicle to own as
time passes by. Our March 1986 built example offered here has had
just three documented owners from new and continues to show
impressively in all respects. Please feel free to call with any
additional questions or schedule an appointment to see this
beautiful Testarossa in person! Thanks for looking!
