testarossa thread

Definition of Cat C: This vehicle was repairable, but the repair costs exceeded the vehicle value. The insurer chose not to repair for economic reasons.

Remember this was Cat C in the 90s, these cars were BIG money in the early 90s which leads me to believe that this car could well have been properly damaged. Wouldn't touch it with yours!

Yes, I have the Hill Engineering pedals, but they were fitted prior to my ownership. The quality is absolutely superb and they look better than OEM in my opinion, put it this way, they are not Halfordsesque!!
Pedal feel is really good and your foot never slips.

ADZ, any chance of seeing the resto on that Rossa you have over at Amari, looks like someone on here may well benefit from further details

Eitherway would be great to see the work done so far.

Certainly. My apologies I havent done it sooner, just been very busy. But Im hoping to get a thread started for you in the next few days.

Nice one, can't wait!!
Can you post it on this thread please?

silent1 Have you got any photos of it, see if someone on here recognises the car. Over on the countach forum they ID cars really quickly just from a few shots. If no photos, what was the colour, interior etc?

Yep Mansell had a dealership, so that sounds right. Post up your pics see if anyone has any info

Nice one. Can't beat a shot of a testarossa in its natural habitat...The 80s!

Seems that a dealer showing us how they are restoring a testarossa is a no no?
So I thought I'd show you the restoration of a testarossa that I saw on a website. Enjoy!
