Only 3 of these unique Ferrari’s were ever sold, with one going to the middle east, one to Essex, and the location of the final car is unknown. While it may have been half the price of a real Ferrari Testarossa at the time, this car was certainly worth its money…Howard found this example in the ownership of a customer, who surprised him with the Ferrari when looking at buying back a Skoda estate. Howard was offered the car and it has subsequently lived in his collection since. The car has since undergone restoration work to reinstate its original glory, including a full leather re-trim and special short pile carpets supplied from Germany.

The Agostini Testarossa was made to be a fully working miniature car and has an impressive spec sheet:

• Colour - Rosso Corsa with Creme leather interior
• Tubular frame chassis
• Fibreglass composite body, with working catches for the doors, bonnet and boot
• Fully rose jointed adjustable independant wishbone suspension
• Hydraulic disc brakes
• Rack and pinion steering
• Variomatic belt drive transmission with differential axle - forward and reverse gears
• Briggs & Stratton electric start petrol engine
• Fully functional flip up headlamps with dipped and high beam
• Working dials and lights
• Cast alloy road wheels

The time has come for Howard to part with this car, and it is now up for sale at £75,000.
