1989 Ferrari Testarossa1 / 37

Description

Reimel Motor Cars is proud to present this exceptional 1989 Ferrari Testarossa, a true collector's piece showing just 13,000 miles and finished in the iconic Rosso Corsa over a timeless beige leather interior. This vehicle’s history is as captivating as its design, offering a unique narrative of preservation and passion.

The story begins when the car was sold new by Algar Ferrari to its first owner in Ohio. After the owner's passing, the Testarossa remained hidden in a storage unit for years, only to be rediscovered alongside two other classic Ferraris when the family was notified of the unit's status. In 2014, Algar Ferrari reacquired this time capsule, performing a full major service to bring it back to pristine, road-worthy condition before selling it to its second owner in Pennsylvania in 2015.

To achieve perfection, the second owner commissioned Algar Ferrari to address minor cosmetic imperfections, including a small scrape on the driver's door and front valance, with paintwork expertly handled by the renowned Karosserie in Wayne, PA (documented with photos and receipts). The warped instrument panel leather was also professionally repaired. During his stewardship, the second owner also upgraded the car with a desirable Tubi exhaust, enhancing the Testarossa’s already thrilling character. After enjoying the car until 2020, he traded it in for another Ferrari, but not before completing a fresh major service. The car was then briefly sold to a third owner in Illinois, who added virtually no mileage.

Drawn by nostalgia, the second owner bought the car back, becoming its fourth owner. Now, with a growing collection, he has decided to pass this remarkable Testarossa on to its next discerning caretaker.

This Testarossa is offered with an impressive array of original and period-correct accessories, including a full set of Schedoni leather fitted luggage, books, tools, rare period sheepskin seat covers, the factory muffler, and a period Testarossa poster—a truly comprehensive set befitting a collector-grade Ferrari. Complete with extensive records and a fascinating provenance, this low-mileage Testarossa is a beautifully maintained example of one of Ferrari's most legendary models. Its blend of originality, meticulous care, unique upgrades, and a truly unforgettable history makes it an unmissable opportunity for any serious enthusiast or collector looking to acquire not just a car, but a celebrated piece of automotive history.
