So the Testarossa becomes 30 years old this year. But when exactly is her birthday?
She was introduced to the public at the 1984 Salon de Paris, but when was that?

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?

Epic 'rossa footage!

Also thought I would share some pics I took of them.

Nice photos, any more of the yellow single mirror?

I don't unfortunately, I lost a lot of my original photos when my last computer crashed. I believe the Giallo single mirror belongs to a PHer. Very loud!

Yellow one is mine. Will try and dig out some pictures soon

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!

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!
