    Well u seemed very in love with the huracan sound etc so I hope u will get to like it.
    I personally stop liking any mixer Ferrari since the 355. I love the new ones but not like the old ones.
    This looks to be a fine example which I hope will fulfill you!

    Beautiful example. Do you plan to maintain it as a concours car or will you put some mileage on it?

    I believe this is indeed the canepa car. License plate match with the ad.

    That is a ridiculous comment. Why would you hope that he bought right? If you want to know what he paid why not just ask him?

    To the OP congrats on your purchase, car looks amazing, hope you enjoy it.

    This car looks awesome, the Black dash is very rare and I really like it
    I have a question for you, you wanted to mod your testarossa with wheels and lower it. I personally like the look of both, original and tasteful modded.
    Are you planning to mod this concours model?

    I plan to enjoy at whatever pace comes naturally meticulously taking care of it in the process! I really do feel these cars are meant for driving so I’m not a big fan of guilt from doing just that. I do recognize if I keep it another 20 years at some super low mileage it would be worth more than say 30k-40k miles. But what’s the fun in that!

    Not to mention (knock on wood) other endeavors better continue yielding much more than just ANY automotive investment. This applies to all of us. I really hope the folks that just sit on them do so because they have 45 cars and just don’t get around to driving it. Otherwise, what a waste of endorphins and elevated vibrations!

    Anymac, we all want you to enjoy your new purchase and will give advice and help when asked. It looks to be a clean TR and we hope you enjoy many miles of smiles. Sometimes internet comments may come across wonky. We are are all TR custodians and love them like children. Please continue to post your experiences and learning's as it benefits the collective. And we will do the same for all to benefit.

    The black dash is a keeper for sure. Make sure to check the fuse box and plan on switching out the diff to a one piece unit when the next engine out is performed.

    Thank you! Btw, custodian is a perfect word btw. I really appreciate such a post.

    My first experience with Ferrari was not so good. In 2015 when I was shopping I was cross-shopping 458, 650S and Huracan. I was really down to 458 and Huracan. When I called my then local dealer the asked me when I was planning to make purchase. I told them within the next couple weeks. They actually told me I could not come drive a 458 - as if my purchase timeframe wasn’t soon enough!

    It all worked out because although I had owned 3 NSX’s and was thinking 458 might be the natural progression I ended up completely smitten by my new Huracan! But that experience made me wonder about overall Ferrari ownership and whether the ownership community is also overly eliteist.

    Fortunately I have generally experienced - particularly in these forums that by and large the owners are good folks!

    Thanks again! I am looking forward to meeting my custodian comrades and learning more about this car!

    Gorgeous car. The black dash is so cool. Do whatever you want to it! New wheels, revised suspension, Brembo’s, bi-turbo, enjoy it! Its your car now and what a car it is.

    Out of curiosity what was the list on this one? At any price, I’d say it’s well bought. Wow is it clean

    Couple questions.

    1) I’m on the fence with wheels or not. I love it clean and unmolested. I have not seen any pics of TR with spacers on OEM wheels. Much less lowered on spacers. Anyone?

    2) IF I do wheels only OEM similar but modular wheels seem to look good to my eye. However, when I do a search I only see UK companies and some of their links don’t work. Any sources?

    3) I test drove a TR with. Tubi and it was sounded stock. I think there are levels for Tubi? I heard Fuchs on YouTube and it sounds best so far. True?

    3-the precats ans cats are the things that mute the sound. Take them off and u will have big difference. There also are some tubi a bit louder than others (diff models)
