Nice early one! Monospecchio Molto Bene!

Some records show September and some October 1984 for the Paris Auto Show. Eitherway, will be interesting to see if the wider press make a deal about the occassion?

Went along to the Piazza Italia in Horsham on Friday, 107 Ferrari's in total and only one testarossa.....they are getting fewer and far between at shows it seems?

Looks like a similar situation at Cliveden, hundred plus on the list and only one testarossa.

I bet if you went to a show in Hong Kong there'd be tons of them. Bit like the Countach's, we sold them em all off and too cheaply!

Now there's two!

Rev, I see you are Ferrari 48, I got on the list (just) as car 101. Will make sure I come and say hello!

[ro55a]

Don't know much about this show, close to zero. What's the format, meet, cruise, convoy, timings etc?

Auto italia Brooklands, this Saturday just gone. Went to Goodwood Supercar Sunday today following a friend in his F40, OMG they are beyond quick. I drove mine at 9 tenths and it does not scratch the surface of what an F40 is capable of!

38,000 miles but with a fastidious service history. So what does the asking price say about the market for these cars?

[ro55a]

512TR with 15,000 miles and £150k, strong prices now.

[ro55a]

Out this week.

Might be a good idea to check your agreed insurance value if you currently own a testarossa!

[ro55a]

Three of these have literally popped up over night. The £220k car has been on the market for a while and has been £200k for the vast majority of that time. Whether the prices will be achieved or not, it does appear to represent a positive view around the model and suggests movement in a similar direction to the predecessor, the 512BB, which are now routinely touching or exceeding £200k. They stayed firm at £80k for quite a while and then very quickly started to move and continue to do so. Will be interesting to see how long the posted cars remain on the market, whether we see subsequent price drops or due to short supply, the go very quickly?

That's a bit wishful thinking, even in resale red. I think I'll wait a year before pushing up the agreed value.

Ps.
Rev, was your car at Autoitalia this year, in the main Ferrari car park, very, very nice indeed, if it was yours?
