Thanks, but not sure what you mean? What page?

How different is the car from a normal 458 Tim? Seems to have gone for a 512BBi kind of look for it.

Not convinced it's worth £3MM, but that's probably a Sun-style exaggeration

Isn't it supposed to be styled on a 512BB? Looks 100x better than a 458 IMO but agreed not worthy of that price tag. I'd rather have an original 512BB personally

[yeti]

That explains it then!

I'm sure he has a 512BB anyway, nice to have the looks of the period car and the modern reliability and performance.

The Boxer Berlinetta always suffered from a high centre of gravity as the engine was on top of the gearbox if I remember correctly. It was always a beauty though.

I love the styling of all the 512 range. The BB and TR are my favourite though. Design icons IMO

BB yes, TR... Not so much

I hope by the winking smily that you're joking. No other car (ok well maybe the Countach) encapsulates 80s car design more for me than the Testarossa

[yeti]

I'll agree to it being an iconic design of the 80s, but it's in no way as beautiful as many other cars, even of that era.

Contach, Pantera GT5, flat-nosed 911 Turbo, F40, Esprit and even the DeLorean are just as iconic

Congrats on all the publicity Tim.

As for the car must say I'm not a fan, if I'm honest it looks pretty ugly IMO. But each to their own
