Hi folks, my name is Al and an avid Ferrari fan. I am a member and frequent the Mondial section. My brother is considering buying a Testarossa ( overseas) and some information according to the current owner does not match the car. As per owner, it is a 1993 Testarossa. It has a single hub which I believe is only available till 1988. The VIN is ZFFAA17B000071291. I tried using the vin decoder but cannot confirm the Model Year. Can someone please confirm if this car is really 1993 before my brother take the plunge. Thank you in advance.
For comparison, my 87 TR's last 5 of its VIN is 71955. So assuming all the TRs are sequential, yours is an 87 or earlier!
Model year only applies to some markets -- so it is not encoded in that euro VIN: http://www.red-headed.com/vin_model_year.html (but it's not a 1993 model year -- except maybe in some gov't registration documentation )
