Euro 1988 Ferrari Testarossa
Presentation
This European-market 1988 Ferrari Testarossa was first sold in Switzerland and spent time in France before being imported to Canada in 2018. Purchased by the current owner in 2019, its 4.9-liter flat-12 subsequently received a timing belt service, and shifting is handled via a gated five-speed manual transaxle. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa over Crema Connolly leather and features a limited-slip differential, a Capristo exhaust system, 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels, pop-up headlights, air conditioning, and power windows. In 2023, the water pump was serviced, and the fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel distributor were replaced. This Testarossa is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with service records, the owner’s manual, a clean US Carfax report, and a Washington title in the owner’s name.
The Pininfarina-designed body is finished in Rosso Corsa and features pop-up headlights, fog lights, an asymmetrical cooling duct beneath the left fog lamp, side intake strakes, and quad exhaust outlets.
Silver 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The cockpit is trimmed in Crema Connolly leather upholstery over the seats, door panels, and lower dashboard. Interior amenities include motorized seat belts and a gated shifter located on the center console alongside controls for the air conditioning, an aftermarket stereo, and power windows.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames Veglia instrumentation, including a replacement 320-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature. A clock and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and oil temperature are housed in the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 8k kilometers (~5k miles), approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.9-liter flat-12 was factory rated at 380 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. A Capristo exhaust system has been installed, and a timing belt service was completed in 2019, at which time the spark plugs, drive belts, rear main seal, and thermostat were replaced. In 2023, the water pump was rebuilt, and the fuel distributor, battery, engine mount pads, fuel pump cold start switch, fuel injectors, and various gaskets were replaced.

Welcome to the auction of this exceptional 1989 Ferrari Testarossa. A mid-engine, flat-12 masterpiece and Pininfarina at its most dramatic. With just 8,300 km covered since new, this example presents in excellent condition and is among the nicest we’ve seen. A beautifully preserved car with the documented service history to complement its appearance. Originally delivered to Switzerland, this Testarossa later made its way to France, where we acquired it in 2018 and brought it to Vancouver, BC, Canada. There, it joined its most recent owner, who entrusted the servicing directly to a Ferrari dealership, sparing no expense in bringing the car into tip-top mechanical condition. Receipts documenting the extensive work are included, along with paint-meter readings for your review. The Testarossa comes from an era when a supercar’s personality was measured in cylinders, not screen size. Those unmistakable side strakes, that wonderfully wide stance, and the flat-12 behind your shoulders make every drive feel like an occasion. It was a bedroom-wall car in 1989, and frankly, it still deserves the wall space today. The car holds a clean Washington State title and is stored indoors in Blaine, Washington. We can arrange enclosed transportation right to your doorstep at competitive rates. For any questions about the car, the sale, or a shipping quote, please reach out through the “Contact Seller” button. I’m always happy to help and want you to feel informed and confident when bidding. Best of luck to all the bidders, and bid to win! some poster cars are worth turning into garage occupants. 😎
