This attractive U.S.-market Testarossa was completed during the
penultimate year of the original Tipo F110 Testarossa (1984-1991).
As such, it benefits from nearly all of the mechanical improvements
introduced over the Testarossa's lifetime-most significantly, the
introduction of five-bolt, 16-inch wheels in mid-1988, making
modern tire sourcing significantly easier. Chassis 83213 was
originally finished in the uncommon and striking livery it wears
today, consisting of Nero (Black) paintwork over Rosso (Red)
leather with Nero carpets.
The original service and warranty book records that the car was
initially delivered to Autohaus, Inc. in Cohasset, Massachusetts. A
Mr. Dwayne A. Richards of Seattle, Washington, is noted as the
Ferrari's original owner, with the warranty commencing on 12
December 1989. According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History
Report, the TR was first registered in Washington in May 1990. By
2005 it surfaced for sale in Fort Worth, Texas, advertised as a
one-owner example showing just 3,567 miles at the time. It
subsequently passed between dealers in Washington and California
before entering private ownership with Andrew Calhoun of South
Carolina. Calhoun would retain chassis 83213 until 2015. Later that
year it was documented in the care of Ferrari Los Angeles showing
only 5,998 miles, with a new Southern California-based owner.
Acquired by the consignor earlier this year, the Testarossa
received a recent service in the fall of 2025 performed by
DriverSource of Houston, Texas, including an oil change and
thorough detailing. Today, the black Testarossa indicates a mere
6,466 miles from new and appears to have always been treated as a
cherished collector's piece.
Beautifully preserved, the Nero coachwork retains a fine luster,
while inside the predominantly Rosso leather interior maintains
fine condition throughout, with the adjustable bucket seats showing
only minor age-related creases. The iconic three-spoke MOMO
steering wheel with its yellow horn button remains in excellent
condition. The quintessentially-1980s Veglia Borletti
instrumentation features four main dials with black faces and
orange numerals, while center console gauges complete the
purposeful driver-focused layout. Throughout the cabin, the overall
condition reflects the respect this Testarossa has commanded from
its caretakers. Furthermore, the car is accompanied by its owner's
manuals, original service and warranty book, a selection of tools,
and a jack.
The Tipo F110 Testarossa remains one of the most coveted and widely
recognizable models of the marque for its era-defining styling and
its glorious flat-twelve's performance. With its uncommon livery
and low mileage, chassis 83213 is a standout example of this
Prancing Horse.
