Who was it that was looking for a convertible Testarossa?

I drove by one today on my way to work. It was parked in an auto body lot. Black with gold centercaps on the wheels and possibly gold badges. :roll: Didn't look like it was in too good of shape. I'm thinking about stopping by for the sake of curiosity and get some kind of story on it. I'll be sure to try and get a serial number as well for those interested.

"Who was it that was looking for a convertible Testarossa?"
I was at some time. I wonder how that one came out of Maranello... Isnt it a prototype? :work:

It came out of the factory as a standard Testarossa I'm sure

I agree with Dr. Bob. The car is not from the factory but is an aftermarket conversion. The car was never offered as this (not even a prototype).

Looking forward to hearing more about the car.

Sounds like Tyson's old car. Ostrich skins? Gold rims...sounds like it.

there was only 1 original from the factory and that was a grey one, so this one isn't it

A few years ago I saw a red Testarossa Convertable. I even think i have a picture of it. But i don't know where it is.

I think i saw the car at the Ferrari days in Spa (Belgium). But I think it was a Official car, not an aftermarket conversion.

Got busy this weekend and wasn't able to go buy. I'll try sometime this week.

the only factory car isn't red.
and do you remember wich year at the Spa Ferrari Days that was??
because i can't remember seeing one there in the last 5 years or so?

Car is no longer there. It wasn't a body shop as I first thought. It was just a run of the mill repair shop. The car had appeared to be in very poor shape when I was driving by it (paint and top in bad bad condition - "gold" was fading) and somthing tells me it was there for a "tune up" or some type of repair. I might go poke arround tomorrow and see if they'll talk to me. Get SOME kind of story on it.

60k doesn't seem too bad.

I'd love to have one here in LA!

Hummm....St. Louis, I have family there. I'll have to arrange a visit sometime. This does look like a really good conversion Testarossa.
