    Well, childhood dreams do come true. As a kid of the 80s, I saw the testarossa on my bedroom poster become real in my garage six years ago. What a ride! But as my little family grew, I struggled more and more to find the time to drive it, so it was time for it to go to its next loving home.

    I sold it a few days ago... I am heart broken!

    I wanted to thank everyone in this section for all the help over the years maintaining it in perfect shape, the knowledge here is unbelievable! Thanks Steve, Joe, Claude, Mel, Romano, Shamile, Vincenzo, Tim, Ago, and many others, the list is too long! Thank you guys.

    I don't know yet what I'll buy next, but I'll swing by once in a while to say hi!

    One last picture of my blue TR. What a ride...

    Sorry to see your car go Christophe, that is by far the best looking color combination I have ever seen on a TR--someone got a great car, you took great care of it. Best of luck with your next purchase, I hope you find something that brings the same kind of excitement the TR did.

    Riding off into the sunset! 6 years is good enough. Glad to hear your dream was worth the time and effort. Gorgeous color combo. Reading this makes me never want to settle down though! LOL

    Au revoir Christophe!
    Tu peux toujours sortir la TR de ton garage mais elle restera toujours en dedans de toi!
    (You can take the TR out of your garage but never out of your mind!):)

    Totally understand your decision - and best wishes moving forward. I'm sure you will end up with another F-car when time permits.

    Christophe I'm happy for you but sad at the same time. You had what I think is one of the nicest Testarossa and even if I don't own mine anymore and I even sold my 308 so I have no Ferrari anymore it's like a family member is leaving. I hope like me you will still hang around.

    Ce fut un plaisir de te connaitre.

    That's an awesome pic that really highlights the lovely lines of the TR. Sorry that you had to sell such a beautiful car.

    Thank you all for your kind words, I'll be back someday I'm pretty sure... :)



    Rick, I remember that day! The one and only time I ever saw another blue TR! It was great to have them side by side.



    Romano, yes it will stay in France for now. As for what I got for it, without giving you any numbers to respect the buyer, I'll say that you take the recent pessimistic opinions expressed in some thread as to where they're heading, take the most optimistic ones from last year, and aim right in between... That's where they really are.



    Thank you guys and speak to you soon!

    nice to hear that the car stays in europe and not goes to outside europe :)

    then I also think you both ( you and the buyer ) makes a good deal
