As a Canadian teenager I was in Paris with some friends in 1990 and we walked past the Lamborghini and Ferrari dealerships on our way to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees for an evening on the town. We stopped into the Ferrari dealership and a very beautiful young French woman in a black leather skirt and a red Ferrari sweater indulged us as we gawked over her and the only new car in the showroom, a Testarossa. A great memory from a great trip.

I had a 1986 Ferrari Testarossa for 22 years and maintained it myself. It was just like this one and I miss it.

Very nostalgic car to me. I remember having a poster of this car as a small boy. I was born the same year 86. Just seeing it like this makes me feel like a child again, looking at that poster on my wall.

A 180 v12 engine or flat12 is completely different from a boxer12 engine: in the first, every connecting pin rod of the cranckshaft has got 2 rods connected, in the second only one rod for connecting pin. Only in the second the pistons move simultaneously in opposite directions , hence the name "boxer".

"Things went pear shaped in 1939" is the most British introduction to WWII I've ever heard and I love it to bits.

'Not a B road hustler'. I had to chuckle! Brought back memories of driving to my mum's one Christmas. At the time, I was driving a Peugeot 306 turbo diesel - a fabulous little B road hustler. Somewhere in Bedfordshire I found a had a Testerossa right up my back end, but we were running out of straight road for him to overtake. Went through a left hander at about 60, realised he'd disappeared. As much as he caught me on the straights, in the bends he was hopeless. I later realised that the width of his car was compromising his positioning options, and on a cold, damp December day, probably wasn't getting his tyres up to a good temperature. Fantastic video as always!

It may not be the best Ferrari but it is one of THE iconic supercars. Instantly recognisable. I'd have one in a heartbeat.

I use Loctite 574 which is a wonderful product. I have managed to keep oil inside Italian motorcycle engines with it, so it must be good! <br>I discovered it when working for JCB, we used it on transmissions and axles. <br>Love the channel, interesting and informative without the annoying elements found elsewhere on YouTube. Bravo 👏

I didn’t think your videos could get any better, but this is just magic, absolute magic! Thank you, Iain; a joy to watch. Bravo!

I think that initially the Testarossa had only one rear view mirror because the first rule of Italian driving: "what is behind me is not important".
