And now it no longer exists for anyone to enjoy in any way, shape or form - Great!

Don't fret - its remains will be 'found in a barn' in 50 years time and hailed as the long lost Maltese Ferrari and be worth a fortune . . . .

Give it to Richard Rawlings.

It might not even be too badly damaged but that wall looks substantial.

Here's another angle (sorry for the crap quality)

[Flying Phil]

That will buff out!....

Sorry but I'm not very clued up on these cars. Is it a special edition or a new model?

It's the later model in the Testarossa line of cars of the 80s and 90s.

Testarossa .....512TR and F512M

Think I can see how that would go:

Jason said:

We dropped a crate LS motor in it

Charles said:

Our friends at Wilwood sorted out some radical rotors for us

Jeremy said:

We slammed it with an air ride kit from RideTech

Mike said:

I wanted to paint it pink and blue but Richard wanted this crazy green colour

Richard said:

GIT YOU SOME OF THAT.....OWWWWWWW

[coppice]

Shades of the legendary Road and Track picture of the crashed 308 I think - 'The 512M - a good Ferrari. But not a great one ...'

It hardly looks beyond repair. It certainly exists. and if it is dead the salvageable parts from it will keep another one going. People who keep beautiful cars locked away never getting any use just so they can make a profit are perverts.
They never built these things as investment vehicles, they were built to be driven. Hard.

It was Ferrari's last hurrah with the Testarossa platform and the last flat 12 car they ever built.

Only 201 ever produced according to the wiki stats and they are very well hidden in that you rarely see one on YouTube, auctions or on the roads. To put that into context the F40 production run totalled 1,311 units.
