The 1980s undoubtedly delivered a wealth of memorable grand touring supercars. But it was Ferrari that best captured the decade's imagination with the Testarossa. More than a supercar, the Testarossa became a pop culture icon, appearing on television, in arcade games, in music videos, on the bedroom walls of countless budding petrolheads, and of course, in the driveways of the fortunate few.

Styled by Pininfarina, the Testarossa was a bold reinvention of the 512 Berlinetta Boxer. To solve chronic cabin heat issues, Ferrari moved the radiators to the sides of the mid-mounted 4.9-liter, 180-degree twelve engine. Massive side intakes, veiled by horizontal strakes, both met regulatory requirements and defined the car's aesthetic. The result was an instantly recognizable silhouette that was simultaneously functional and extravagant. It epitomized 1980s excess while securing the Testarossa's legacy as one of Ferrari's most memorable creations.

Unveiled at the Lido Night-Club on the Champs-�lysees in Paris, amid the glitz and festivity of the Parisian nightlife in 1984, the Testarossa was originally fitted with a single exterior mirror, earning its early models the nickname "Monospecchio," as well as a unique central wheel bolt-the "Monodado"-for securing the wheels. These early cars are revered for their purity and direct lineage to the original show car.

Finished in classic Rosso Corsa over a lush black leather interior, this 1986 Testarossa is a desirable Monospecchio/Monodado car with just 17,885 miles from new recorded at the time of cataloging. The accompanying service booklet reveals it was first delivered in July 1986 to Mr. Bernard Pasch of Rolling Hills, California via the legendary Ferrari dealer Hollywood Sport Cars. The CARFAX report indicates it was in New Jersey by 1989, while service history shows it was most recently in the care of a New Jersey-based enthusiast who kept meticulous maintenance records. Highlights of the file include regular annual oil changes, new tires in 2020, and a major engine-out timing belt service completed in March 2026 at 17,097 miles, performed by marque specialists Auto Elite Corporation of Tenafly, New Jersey.

Thanks to that fastidious care, this desirable early Testarossa remains in excellent condition throughout, including the beautifully preserved black leather interior. It is furnished with the original owner's manuals and VIN-matched warranty book in the Schedoni wallet, a tool roll, jack bag, wheel nut tool, safety triangles, and a factory car cover.

This superb early Testarossa represents an outstanding opportunity to finally turn your childhood dreams into reality and put one of Ferrari's more renowned and widely beloved modern-era grand tourers in your garage.
