1991 Ferrari Testarossa Berlinetta

Few shapes in motoring are as instantly readable as the Testarossa. Launched at Paris in 1984, it wrapped the 4.9 litre flat twelve in a Pininfarina body defined by the long horizontal strakes running down the doors and into the rear haunches, vents that fed the twin radiators and oil coolers. The flat twelve sits behind the cabin and drives through a five speed manual gate, and the widened rear track gives the car the planted, wide hipped stance that made it a poster car for a generation. It is a genuine 290 km/h machine with room for two and a presence that still stops traffic. Values have been firm for years because the combination of iconic design, naturally aspirated flat twelve and manual gearbox has no modern equivalent.

This example is a 1991 car finished in Rosso Corsa, with 34,000 km showing and the 5,000 cc engine paired to a Five speed manual. It is left hand drive, as all Ferrari road cars of this period were, and it is offered from Japan with the Japanese market documentation that comes with it.

Why this car is worth considering

The appeal here is the specification rather than a sales pitch. Testarossa values have moved structurally because the model sits at a genuinely significant point in Ferrari's history, and cars that keep their original engine, gearbox and body configuration are the ones that hold up. This car offers five speed manual transmission, rosso corsa paint, a documented 34000 km, and the factory equipment set out above. Buyers comparing it against others on the market should weigh the specification, the documentation and the honesty of the history file, all of which are available to inspect before commitment.
