Description
Ferrari Testarossa, UK Supplied, RHD, Monospecchio, Monodado.
The 2nd UK-supplied RHD example.
Hailed by Pininfarina as "an exaggeration of flamboyance", the Ferrari Testarossa captivated the world and epitomised the 1980s. Evoking emotions and memories of a 16-bit era with the arcade legends 'Chase HQ' and 'Sega Outrun' and on the big screen as Sonny and Rico's crime-fighting companion in Miami Vice.
Supplied by Maranello concessionaires, Egham, on August 1st, 1985, to Mr Ray and registered on the first day of the all-new 'C' registration to C381PPB.
Unsurprisingly, the most desirable Ferrari Testarossas are the early 'Monospecchio', 'Monodado' cars that distinguished themselves with their single 'flying mirror' and knock-off hubs. This example is not only one of these rare early cars but, in fact, the second Ferrari Testarossa to be supplied to the UK and confirmed by the Ferrari archive department.
Finished in its factory specification of Rosso Corsa over Crema hide and complete with full Ferrari 'Schedoni' luggage.
The bodywork is exquisite. In 2023 a full professional repaint was commissioned and documented with photography to complement its history file.

Its supporting history file contains its leather-bound factory book pack, owners' manuals and service booklet. Early service records, order forms, purchase invoices, MOTs and archive documentation from Ferrari confirming its build data, history and confirmation of it being the 2nd vehicle to be supplied to the UK.
