Love the 512M, my second favourite Ferrari after the F50. I remember watching this video a thousand times in my youth:

I bought my 512 a few years ago now when there was only about a 20-25% premium for an M over a TR. I looked at both and went for the TR. Other cars have come and gone but I have no plans to move the TR on, it's been a great car.

I've just come back from a 1.600 mile Euro road trip in it and it never missed a beat. Still quick enough, comfortable and subjective though it is, I think it's the nicest looking Testarossa variant.

Well I've had some great trips this summer in the 512 tr. What a great car. Definitely better than I expected it to be. So usable, loads of feed back, great box, and what an engine.

Beautiful 512TR heading into Liverpool on a sunny autumnal day a month or so ago.

Nope, I wimped out and bought a Scuderia .... which is I picked up, drove for a few thousand km in 2 weeks and then had to put into hibernation thanks to no winter tyres available
FF is getting winter tyres and a ski rack this week - then some winter mountain driving

512 still on the "has to be bought at some point" list .... for now
