November 29, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

In the mid-80s at the Paris Motor Show, Ferrari premiered the successor to the Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer, the Ferrari Testarossa. It was one of the most mass-produced models of the Maranello-based company. By 1996, less than 10,000 cars had left the production lines. One of them, a 1988 Ferrari Testarossa, is up for sale. There is currently a lien on the car, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the new owner.

The car is in good condition, finished in Rosso Corsa and has been well maintained. It is equipped with pop-up headlights, fog lights, an asymmetric cooling duct under the left fog light, side intake slats, black skid plates, quad exhaust outlets, power windows and a set of Silver 16-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 225/50 (front ) and 255/50 (rear) BFGoodrich g-Force Sport tires. The odometer reads 16,206 miles.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Crema Connolly leather, which can also be seen on the door panels and dashboard, while the three-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in black leather. Additional equipment includes a gated shifter located on the center console alongside controls for the air conditioning and rear window defroster.

Ferrari Testarossa is powered by a 4.9L flat-12 engine with 380 hp (283 kW) and 356 lb-ft (480 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. It reaches 62 mph in 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 181 mph (291 km/h).

The current owner bought the car in 2015 and since then the timing belt, tensioner bearing, ignition-system components, drive belts, gaskets, seals, filters, clutch assembly have been replaced. Last year the ignition modules and air conditioning receiver/drier were replaced.

The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with manufacturer’s literature, service records and a clean New York title.

The auction ends on December 5th and the current highest bid is $96,000 USD.

Unique 2004 Ferrari Enzo is up for sale

November 24, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

At the 2002 Paris Motor Show Ferrari unveiled a new model, the Ferrari Enzo. It is built using F1 technology, carbon fiber and other components. It was produced in 400 copies and the last one produced was sold at an auction for charity purposes. The buyers were wealthy owners of the most expensive Ferrari cars, the F40 and F50, and one car stands out in particular. It’s a 2004 Ferrari Mate Black Enzo, bought by a member of the Brunei royal family.

The car is finished in Nero Opaco and is the first Ferrari ever produced in that color. It was delivered to a buyer in London and was occasionally seen in Hampstead, Mayfair and Knightsbridge before being transported to Asia. Recently, it was returned to Carrozzeria Zanasi, the official paint shop for Ferrari cars. The owner spent over €110,000 EUR for new paint, cosmetic repairs and replacing switches, front and rear headlights and rear bonnet glass.

It is equipped with a carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, carbon composite body panels by Ken Okuyama and carbon ceramic disc brakes. A rare and desirable hypercar that would take a place in any collection and worthy of Enzo Ferrari’s name.

Inside, the carbon fiber sports seats are upholstered in Nero leather, which can also be seen on the door panels and the part of the dashboard in front of the passenger. There are also carbon accessories, Nero carpets and Rosso instruments.

This unique car is powered by a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine with 651 hp (485 kW) and 485 lb-ft (657 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed ‘F1’ Graziano automated manual gearbox. It reaches 60 mph in 3.14 seconds with a top speed of 221 mph (355 km/h). It has only 5,730 km on the odometer at the time of cataloguing.

The car comes with a Ferrari Classiche Red Book certificate. The auction will take place between December 5 – 7. Offered without reserve.
