Ferrari and Catawiki are apparently a healthy combination. That is again proven by the auction of this 1991'er Ferrari Testarossa on Dutch license plate. Ferrari Testarossas have experienced a growth spurt in price in recent years.

'No reserve' for this Ferrari

The unique thing about this copy offered for sale, with less than 53.000 kilometers of experience, is that the car is offered 'without reserve'. Just like several other lots within the same auction. The estimated yield of this Italian whole blood is between € 110.000-135.000. But the Ferrari Testarossa is going for the highest bid. So that becomes an exercise in self-control for the bidders.

An Italian icon

Whoever dreams about Italy, dreams about the tower of Pisa, Tuscany, a gondola ride in Venice, the Colosseum and ... a Ferrari Testarossa. This 390 pk strong Ferrari Testarossa is one of the most recent known, and iconic Italian car designs. Thanks to the characteristic design, this thoroughbred sports car was given a prominent place on the wall above many boy's beds. Such a little boy will probably not have realized that every line of the Ferrari Testarossa is functional.

The design as a whole has the function of a wing, the striking slats in the flanks guide the wind to the rear cooling radiators and the air inlets in the front bumper ensure cooling of the brake discs. After twenty years, the Pininfarina design definitely reaps the appreciation that this beautiful example of aesthetics and functionality deserves like no other. The Ferrari Testarossa is an impressive appearance that has no equal.

Original, with a unique option

A Testarossa had hardly any options, standard were electric windows, central door locking and air conditioning. As an interesting extra, this car has an original Tubi Style stainless steel sports exhaust.

All colours. As long as it is red

There is only one color for a Ferrari Testarossa. The world famous 'Rosso Corsa' is therefore the most beautiful color for this car: impressive, evoking emotions and thus completely Ferrari. This Testarossa in the original paint is completely free of visible damage or traces of use. It has original glass, undamaged bumpers and is even 100% free of chips. Optically, the Ferrari Testarossa is in perfect condition.

A spotless interior

The interior of this Testarossa offered by Catawiki is completely original and undamaged. The seats have their authentic tight fit without any wear and tear on the entry side, and include beautiful Ferrari logos in the headrests. On the floor is an almost virgin-looking, beautiful deep red upholstery. The dashboard has no damage and all clocks and switches work correctly. See the photos for the details, such as those of the beautiful Nardi handlebar without any trace of use.

The engine room

The engine compartment is also perfect and original, nice and clean and not messed up. Recently a specialist has carried out major maintenance, whereby the distribution of the 5 liter V12 block has also been renewed. Together with the new spark plug cables, this ensures that the engine compartment is a feast for the eyes.

Everything in the luggage compartment is beautifully original, including the spare tire and the on-board tools supplied by Ferrari. The authentic Ferrari rims are completely undamaged and equipped with almost new Bridgestone tires.

A short history

The Ferrari is sold new in 1991 by a German Ferrari dealer and is always dealer maintained. At the end of 2017, substantial investments were made in technology. The demonstrable costs for the engine, transmission and chassis amounted to a documented amount of approximately € 25.000. The car is of course sold including the original documentation. The buyer can pick up his acquisition in Schiedam.

The Catawiki auction

The Ferrari is sold for the highest bid. He will therefore not be taken out of the auction unsold if the intended revenue is not achieved. This provides a unique opportunity for potential buyers. More information about this Testarossa and the latest bid can be found via this link.

But the auction offers many more opportunities. Because the lots at the auction https://www.catawiki.com/a/218955-classic-car-auction-no-reserve-prices are offered with 'no reserve'. There will certainly be nice opportunities in between.
