512 TR, again not my image.

If you have any of G780 BPE from a few years back that would be great.

[ro55a]

Superb, thanks for that. 2007 is prior to my ownership.....just hope it wasn't my car that was used to make those donuts on the Tarmac!
Interesting to see it without the chrome front and rear grill prancing horse emblems, I much prefer it with them, bit bling I know and not as intended but just perks it up a little.

Thanks Robert.

Cheers for that shot Micheal.

Adz that's the car which was converted and was running on carbs right?

[ro55a]

At the danger of turning this into the G780 BPE thread..............Post em please Michael!!

I used to own a 328 that had at some point been with you Mr Walker. Very nice car too it was.
Is that white Rossa still for sale?

[ro55a]

Load em up Michael.

[ro55a]

If I didn't have a red one, then I shake one hand and put the cash in your other. Then put my Miami Vice OST in the CD player, love it!

Mr Walker, so in your experience, what's the deal with the diffs on testarossa's? I know the 512tr and M had a improved version. But as someone in the trade, how much experience have you had of this? A very trusted high end Ferrari restorer friend who has worked for years on all Ferrari's has seen very few cases. What's your view?

[ro55a]

You're not too shabby with a camera!

[ro55a]

Nice one, just checked the Flickr set, you get around a bit!

Yes, the diff issue is real and does happen.

Mine broke late 2012 during normal speeds along the high street. I was stranded and then pull into a side street. The car was relayed back to Autofficina where Peter and Elias looked at the problem and confirmed it was the diff. Elias has a huge amount of experience on Ferrari's and especially the Testarossa. After a huge strip down of the box and housing the broken diff was confirmed. The diff had essentially broken up big time, causing a lot of damage.

I will post some pictures up over the weekend and finish off this post-sorry work calls

Yes please, more info would be useful.

Are there any performance benefits to the carbs? Or is it just a noise thing?

This car, if I remember rightly had 100BHP more than standard but cannot remember if it had cams done etc etc. ADZ will know! But a Rossa on carbs is pure 70s F1!!

[ro55a]

I'll assume from that response that the bank manager is rather nice looking then?

[ro55a]

Back to testarossa's then!
