Testarossa


Meaning "red head" due to the red cam covers, the 1984 Testarossa replaced the previously mentioned 512. Probably best known as Don Johnson's run about in Miami Vice, and subsequently riled for its ostentatious lines, these cars are now beginning to attract the avant-garde collector.
Recognizable by its large cold-air inlets located on the side of the car. This was necessary because of the new location of the twin radiators in the rear. By doing this, it also allowed space up front for a little luggage.
Sparks cars in West London currently have this extremely low mileage 1991 example at £75,000.00. When first launched the selling price in the UK was £62,666.00. Should they continue in the same vain as their predecessors, the now classic Daytona, and emerging classic the 512, these Testarosa's have to be considered as a worthwhile place to park some money for ten years. Surely wiser than squandering double that on the current offering and watching it sink like a stone...
