€1,000,000 for a Testarossa?

I dont like the design, but i like the original cheesegraters!!!
The car is unique and built by one of the most important coachbuilders. so i am sure it will find a new owner.

s/n of the donor-Testarossa???

 

Do you have a picture of it?

 

Quelle horreur !!!

 

S/N 83935

(just curious and trying to find some info about it myself)

EDIT: FC won't let me post the link to the article, sorry. Seems it doesn't think the TR is a SUPERCAR...

It sounds like Tyson used it only as a "nightly" driver.

 

Here is a photo of the car for sale before he bought it. He had it painted yellow. Also shown are a few other F cars along with the 91 Diablo in black. I have the VIN if anyone wants to carfax it.

I believe this is the famed "Slutmobile" now owned by William H on this site.

 

If it's the same car as mentioned above it is now black.

 

It's not the slutmobile. Pretty sure that's a 512m. The Tyson car was Testarossa

 

Thanks. The Slutmobile is indeed a 512M
I could have sworn William said it was ex-Tyson.
When he bought it, it had hideous Ostrich interior.

 

I have 2 stories on the Slutmobile

I was told by my mechanic who brokered the deal that it was an Ex Tyson car but I dont have documentation to back that up

Then I was told by the loan company that it was owned by a woman whose name I forget

So I'm not really sure whether MT owned it or not but I like it

 

Thanks for the clarification.

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I came across this today> here is the testarossa targa with the ostrich interior which is the ex tyson car. looks like it made its way to europe along with the koenig which is in Asia somewhere. I'm guessing they were offered at the same auction along with his other gazillion cars. They're laughing at the interior harder than even we would, LOL

Testarossa Targa

 

I can't find anything redeeming on the design. Maybe I'd have to go with the wheels as the least insulting to the original. The interior is just awful.

I am curious...there have been a few people say they did a good job of making a poor design worse. I respect your opinion of course, but have you guys spent time in and around a TR, or just don't like the car in photos?
