Not mine, but a family friend's:







Having somehow got it over the hump in the pavement and down into his driveway, he was now very nervous about taking it back up and grounding it, so it had been sitting there for some weeks when these photos were taken.

I thought that. Mine's a 92 512TR so would have been a K plate. It was the TR's first year of 2. I'd expct a late Testarossa to be a J or a K. I'm sure the owner will put us straight scratchchin

Don't forget there was a major economic recession in the early 90's. Immediately prior to that there was something of a financial bubble, and cars like the Testarossa were favourites of investors, who would often buy them and store them away, unregistered, hoping to make a huge profit at a later date. After the recession hit, cars started to appear on the market for huge losses for their original purchasers (or their creditors). Luckily we have all learnt a valuable lesson from those times and that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.

Nice photo. First and last of the Lagonda / Bentley engined Astons, if I am not mistaken. As an afficionado of these cars, have you seen this one:
