prolly not the official one:

The Testarossa Spider, serial number 62897, is the sole official convertible variant of the Testarossa commissioned by Ferrari and designed by Pininfarina to be built. The car was specially made for the late Gianni Agnelli, head of Fiat at the time, as a gift.[13][14] The Testarossa Spider had a silver exterior, a white magnolia leather interior with a dark blue stripe running above the matt black sills, and a white top that could be manually stowed away.[13][14] The vehicle was delivered to Agnelli in 1986, and had a silver Ferrari logo on the hood instead of an aluminium one.[13][14]
Many customers requested their own Testarossa Spider, but Ferrari declined every one of them for spatial and structural challenges that would be a challenge to resolve,[15] and so Pininfarina and other conversion firms had to make unofficial Spider conversions.[13] The official Spider was no different mechanically than the normal Testarossas available in the European market. It had a standard 4.9 L 291 kilowatts (396 PS; 390 hp) flat-12 engine. The only difference, other than being a convertible, was that the Spider's front window and door windows were both shorter than those of the normal car.[13][14]

Price is in NZ$ so around £300k give or take, i've never seen one for sale before so have no idea if it is worth that much. But that perfectly balanced V16 with a sporty exhaust cloud9

sorry mixed it up with the ItalDesign Nazca which is £600k

Even 300k for a car which has never run to any extent...? It's gonna need a load of recommissioning before it can be driven in anger.

Nice collection, although curious as to why the purple diablo is not on the list

Aren't the prices seemingly high because of the luxury car tax system in NZ? I know that's the case in Aus, almost doubles the price of most cars IIRC.

The owner of these cars should be locked up!! Most of these cars are delivery mileage!!!!! Whats the point of owning an Enzo, F40, F50 etc....and never driving them??? Such a waste and a shame but on the upside, if you have 1,000,000.00 NZD (486,192.91 GBP) then that F40 with delvery mileage is a bargain in my eyes!!

Based on his pricing, that Enzo @ 2,500,000.00 NZD (1,215,444.92 GBP) will have turned out to be 1 of the best car investments in history!! He'll of paid about £500,000 when it was new so if he returns that then not driving it might have been a heartache worth taking! God knows I wouldn't be able to just look at it and resist driving it...

That could be the reason the cars were bought, no intention of driving them keep them for a few years sell for a profit.
Hopefully the new owners will be more willing to warm the tyres up biggrin

ZOLLAR, that's a 500 Barchetta isn't it and not a Spyder of any sort.

Well, it is effectively new I guess! tongue out But you do get the feeling that after standing still for so long, it probably wouldn't ever like being driven frown
