Buyer’s notes

About the Ferrari Testarossa

The Testarossa of 1984 replaced the 512 BBi with a 4.9-litre, 48-valve flat-twelve of 390 PS. Its side strakes feed the radiators mounted behind the doors, and its name recalls the red cam covers of Ferrari’s 1950s racers. Ferrari built 7,177 before the 512 TR took over in 1991.

What moves the price

  • Mirror: early single-mirror cars are the most sought-after specification.
  • Market: European cars sit above US-specification cars modified for emissions.
  • History: a documented engine-out service record matters on every flat-twelve.

Before you buy, check

  • Cam belt history: the service is an engine-out job, so ask for dated invoices.
  • If it is sold as a single-mirror car, check it against the build records.
  • The electrics, and overall condition, through a specialist inspection.
