Ask any person how to describe bright red and there's a good chance someone will call it Ferrari red. A color that speaks volumes, as is the case with this very beautiful Testarossa from the third series. A particularly beautiful and well-maintained 1980s supercar.

Sometimes everything is just right, like with this Ferrari Testarossa from 1988. It is one of the most striking model names in car history: Testarossa! Say it out loud a few times, with the emphasis on 'ros', you will spontaneously feel like an Italian. Literally translated it means 'Red head', which refers to the red cylinder heads of the mighty V12. The Testarossa of the 1980s was named after legendary predecessors such as the 250 Testa Rossa and 500 TR. As a child of the 'eighties', this Ferrari has everything a car enthusiast dreamed of at the time: opening headlights, enormous air intakes and black grilles over the taillights. The number of posters that hung above beds and in offices must have been countless.

This red Testarossa was delivered to its first owner in Switzerland on July 1, 1988. Delivery in mid-1988 means that the car is equipped with the low-set mirrors and the five-bolt wheels. The undoubtedly very proud owner kept the maintenance booklet neatly, just like the few owners who followed. After Switzerland, the car went via Austria to the Netherlands, where the car was serviced by a specialist. With only 45,550 kilometers of experience, we don't have to tell you that this amazing V12 is in exceptionally good condition, the technology has not had a hard time.

The bodywork of the Testarossa is exceptionally neat, let's not forget that this Italian exotic is already 35 years old. You can't miss the bright red bodywork, which is in optimal condition, the paint is very nice and there is actually no visible damage.

No matter how beautiful black leather is, you can often quickly see that it has been (heavily) used. That is hardly the case with this Testarossa. The upholstery is also very fresh and is anything but worn. The cheeks of the seats are also very neat and that is not self-evident with this type of car, drivers often sort of fall into the seat. The dashboard is more affected by the weather conditions and sunlight, but these also seem to have had no effect on this example. The leather upholstery is all still very neat and tight. The typical black meters with orange indications are of course in fantastic condition and the same applies to the black carpets.

Actually a Testarossa by the book. And that's lucky: all the booklets are still with the car, neatly in the original leather case. As you can see from the photos, the underside of the Ferrari is also in neat, undamaged and original condition.
