1986 Ferrari Testarossa

1986 Ferrari Testarossa. Single Mirror. in the rare color of Blu Serra with Crema hide interior. complete with Ferrari factory luggage
First supplied by Walnut Creek Ferrari on 8th August 1986. this single mirror car was delivered to a doctor in Modesto California. it was purchased in 2012 by the previous owner in San Francisco's Bay Area. I subsequently bought it from him. Finished in the superb color of Blu Serra. I have read that over 85% of Testarossas were finished in Rosso Corsa. a large number of the remainder were black. it is believed that less than 40 cars in the whole production were Blu Serra. The color defines the car and in my opinion is simply the best color on the carI have metered the paint and believe it to be the factory original. the only paintwork appearing to be on the top of the right rear quarter just behind the door. this area is a known trouble spot on the Testarossa as the passenger leans on this panel to get in and out.  
The last owner purchased the Testarossa in 2012 and immediately sent it to Brian Crall's Ferrari service in San Ramon for a complete engine out service including replacement of all service items including clutch. belts and all rubber hoses. At the same time the factory welded diff was replaced with a Forza Components 155099 unit. a preventative and highly recommended improvement as the factory diffs are known to break causing catastrophic damage to the engine casing. Whilst the motor was out Brain's team made a fabulous job of detailing the engine and surrounding compartment-as you can see from the pictures. The car has covered less then 350 miles since the work was done. The suspension was also stripped and thoroughly rebuilt including new bushings. plus servicing of the wheel bearings. all in all giving the Testarossa a quiet and tight setup. When the previous owner acquired the car it was fitted with a set of aftermarket wheels and so these were replaced using a set of factory correct and rare 16" items. a worthwhile improvement over the metric wheels more normally found on the early cars. the 16" wheels providing excellent tire choices. The exhaust system is fed by Sport Cats through a lovely sounding Tubi muffler. it has just the right amount of low down growl without being over noisy (factory Cats are included) with the sport cats the Testarossa blows flames. The toolkit appears to be complete and in its original bag. the jack and service light are also there. so too the factory owners wallet complete with service book- duly stamped and showing first owner. Owners handbook. all leaflets and supplements. The factory luggage is original and marked Testarossa. there are 5 pieces and all are in very good condition for their age although not perfect.

California buyers are subject to California sales taxes. out of state and overseas buyers must have the car transported by bonded truck or shipper to avoid CA taxes. car is sold as is where is. I am happy to help with trucking or overseas freight at buyers expense. The Testarossa is over 30 years old and as such I believe importation into Europe should qualify for 5% import taxes. please confirm this with your shipper
