Ferrari Testarossa Monospecchio, Ferrari Classiche certified, full se 1986
General description :
The Ferrari Testarossa is absolutely a supercar icon. No boy’s bedroom wall was complete in the 80’s without a Ferrari Testarossa poster. As with any Ferrari, the engine is the heart and soul of the car. In our case it’s the 180 degree 4.9 litre V12 engine delivering 390 prancing horses at 6,300 revs. We have a Testarossa just as the real enthusiast likes to see them: completely original with wonderful provenance and in perfect shape. This is a matching numbers car with a Ferrari Classiche certification. This Ferrari was first registered in 1986 in Switzerland. A Testarossa is nothing without diligent maintenance, which this Ferrari just happens to be. When previous owner brought the car over to the Netherlands he did not leave anything to chance. With only 58,107 km on the clock the car was taken to Kroymans importers and was given a major service, a new distributor, new filters and spark plugs. Although used sparingly the car returned to Kroymans in 2020 for a major service. At 59,570 a new distributor was fitted again together with a new clutch cylinder, a full oil and brake fluid change as well as preventatively replacing a number of the clutch cylinder tubes. With a new battery the car was now in perfect order. The car drives fantastically as only a V12 Ferrari can do. The Testarossa has two side-mounted radiators thereby reducing the need for hot cooling fluids to travel internally. In combination with its air-conditioning this makes this the perfect car to travel great distances in. To. boot you also are accompanied by sounds the very best Italian tenors could only dream off. Its repertoire appears to be endless. The engine just sounds spectacular at any rev! The engine is attached to a precisely working manual gearbox, which thanks to recent work is has a lovely light touch. Mechanically the car is in perfect order. But what of the car’s exterior appearance I hear you wonder? Well that too is perfectly in order. The bodywork is unblemished. Our car is a later example one of the early series also know as “Monospecchio” meaning “One mirror”. The car has a lovely Rosso Corsa finish, which has partially been resprayed for cosmetic reasons and is in wonderful condition. The car stands on, for a Testarossa, the only correct 5-spoke magnesium rims with a central nut. The rims have been fitted with the proper and correctly sized Michelin TRX tyres. Inside the car is similarly gorgeous. The combination of its Rosso Corsa exterior with the black leather interior trim is ageless and splendid in its simplicity. Every Veglia instrument and control naturally works as it should. The car comes with a complete Ferrari car wallet as well as every invoice from 2014 onwards. In summary what we have here is a wonderfully maintained, matching numbers, Ferrari Classiche certified Ferrari Testarossa in the much prized “Monospecchio” version.

About Ferrari
The first Ferrari road car was the 125 S introduced in 1947 and powered by a 1.5 L V12 engine, right? Well it's not quite that simple, Ferrari did in fact produce e Tipo 815, in 1940. Tipo 815 was designed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi under Enzo's company but legal issues with the former associate Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from launching the Ferrari marque at that point.
Enzo did produce a series of fine road cars in the 50's and 60's but they were merely to finance his true passion racing, wheather GT/Sports car or Grand Prix. The 50's saw the birth of Ferrari's most memorable cars, 250 GTB (tour de France) 250 Testa Rossa, 250 GT swb just to name a few.
Under the surface tension was growing though. In November 1961 long-time sales manager Girolamo Gardini made an ultimatum to Enzo: if tensions continued, he would leave the company. As a result, Gardini was ousted, as well as Scuderia Ferrari manager Romolo Tavoni, chief engineer Carlo Chiti, experimental sports car development chief Giotto Bizzarrini, and a number of others who stood by them.
Without Chiti and Bizzarrini the development of what was to become the most quintessential Ferrari and today the world's most expensive car, 250 GTO, was at a pivoting point. 250 GTO project was saved by a young engineer Mauro Forghieri and long-time racing bodyman Sergio Scaglietti who stepped in and took over the program with known results.
In addition to 250 GTO, Ferrari launced such master pieces as 250 LM, 250P, 275 GTB, 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" during the the 60's
By the late 60's Ferrari's prototypes' success came to a sudden halt by a new competitor, GT40. Ford turned to Lola to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after Enzo had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that gave Ferrari some heavy hits in Le Mans 24 to come.
By the end of the 60's FIAT purchased 50% of the company, starting a development that has led to a new mass-produced era of Ferraris.
