Description

  • A final model-year Testarossa finished in Rosso Corsa over Beige leather
  • Matching-numbers chassis, engine, and gearbox
  • Four owners from new, with the odometer reading 32,945 kilometres

Delivered new via Europeiska Motor of Stockholm on 29 April 1991 and finished in the timeless pairing of Rosso Corsa over a Beige leather interior, chassis 88663 was one of the last Testarossas to leave Maranello prior to production switching to the all-new 512 TR.
The first owner kept the Ferrari until August 2007, and it changed hands twice more before the current owner bought the car on 14 June 2011. An inspection took place the following year, when the odometer was noted as reading 32,800 kilometres. The owner took the Testarossa off the road in September 2014, and at time of cataloguing, the odometer read 32,945 kilometres.
On 25 November 2022, chassis 88663 received a major service at von Braun Sports Cars of Skene, Sweden. The battery, engine oil and filter, and timing belts were changed, while the valve clearances were checked and adjusted, alongside replacement of various other components. The full invoice, which exceeds €9,000, can be viewed on file. On 5 October 2022, the Ferrari was fitted with four new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
Today, this Testarossa is finished in its factory-correct colour of Rosso Corsa—for which paint meter readings were found to be consistent—and retains its matching numbers engine and gearbox. It is accompanied by a Ferrari leather folio, inspection lamp, jack, owner’s manual, spare wheel, toolkit, warranty card and service manual, and wheel brace.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa23.
