1990 FERRARI TESTAROSSA - 12,817 MILES

KEY FACTS

  • A stunning example of the iconic Ferrari Testarossa finished in the rare combination of Nero paintwork over tan leather upholstery.
  • It is powered by the 385bhp 4.9-litre naturally aspirated flat-12, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.
  • This Testarossa was purchased by the New York-born actor, director and stuntman Charles Picerni, who was involved in the production of Kojak, Starsky & Hutch (as Paul Michael Glaser’s stunt double), Magnum PI, Die Hard, Road House, and many more well-known blockbusters; also performing stunts in the likes of Knight Rider, Airwolf, and The A-Team.
  • A two-owner car, it was last serviced by the current owner in 2014 and it has covered just 138 miles since, benefiting from dry indoor storage under a custom-fitted car cover.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

  • Standard equipment on the Testarossa included electric windows, air-conditioning, pop-up headlamps and electrically adjustable seats.
  • This example was specified with Nero paintwork, tan leather seats and a brown leather centre console and dashboard, also featuring a period-correct dealer-fitted Alpine stereo.
  • The car’s first owner added a reversing camera around the number plate holder, along with an Italian flag decal on the rear bumper, which is still in place.
  • The current owner has replaced the wheel lug nuts to rectify some minor torque wrench marks, but the originals will be supplied.
  • Its original owner’s manuals, tool roll and spare wheel are included, along with a clean Carfax report.

CONDITION

  • There is no bodywork damage. 
  • Its Nero paintwork is believed to be all original and is in excellent condition, presenting with no noticeable scratches or scuffs, commensurate with its very low mileage.
  • Inside, its tan leather upholstery has just a few small creases and wrinkles, but no significant wear, while a few minor blemishes can be seen on the centre console.
  • The air conditioning requires re-gassing.
  • Accompanying the car is a mechanic’s report attesting to the fact that the car’s condition is very much in line with the low mileage indicated.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • Its most recent engine-out service was in July 2014 at 12,679 miles, at Eugenio’s Ferrari Service in San Dimas, California, where technicians replaced the belts, water pump, camshaft, distributor and crank seals, also performing a thorough inspection.
  • Only 138 miles have been covered since, but the engine oil and filter have been changed annually, and other fluid changes have been performed as needed.

SUMMARY

This Ferrari Testarossa is a beautifully preserved example of an iconic analogue supercar, with Hollywood provenance and a very rare colour scheme. It is presented with remarkably low mileage for its age, making it an ideal addition to a collection of Maranello’s finest, while remaining an entirely usable weekend toy.
