Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
This is a gorgeous example of the 512 TR Testarossa! What is more iconic than a Red on Tan 12-cylinder Ferrari? Having accumulated a mere 17,980 miles since new it is in overall terrific condition. This is the one to add to your collection.
It’s livery is all original in Rossa Corsa (Ferrari Red). Having no history of accidents or damage, the paint is all original and reveals a history of affection and use. The front has a number of very fine chips that one would expect to find after 17,980 miles. This, of course, is far preferred to a motorcar with a sorted history of accidents or neglect (and, God forbid, a mysterious repaint!).
Inside the passenger cabin is the supple tan leather one expects to find in the ultimate Italian performance coupe. The leather is in overall excellent condition with a few areas reflecting limited wear.
The drivetrain is fantastic! The gorgeous tones of the roaring 12-cylinder horizontally opposed boxer engine are accentuated through the custom PowerTone exhaust system that was specifically designed for this particular car. It is unique and wonderful! The original exhaust is included in the sale.
We love the complete set of original tools, books and records for this Testarossa. They are all enveloped in the soft and durable Italian saddle leather.
This 512TR was bought new by Gary Golson from Monroe, LA. He bought it on January 16, 1992 from Ferrari South, Inc. in Jackson, MS. By the time of the 7,500 mile service this 512TR was at the Auto Toy Store in FL. The present owner, Dimitiri, is a tech leader and who has owned the 512 for the past five years. We represented the car in the sale from the prior owner, Greg, who is the highly regarded tech executive in San Diego. He has owned the car for the previous 15 years. Greg and Dimitiri are the third and fourth owners for the past 20 years. In early 2016, Dimitiri had the major service and timing belts and resealing performed by the renowned Ferrari engineers at Bobileff Motorcar Company in San Diego. And since then, it has received an annual service. The photos are from the prior sale, but the car has been nothing but improved since, and less than 500 miles have been added since.
This 512TR is ready to add to an important collection. It is perfectly spec’d and, after a full service, ready for Ferrari club events and incredible Friday evenings!
