How to invest in a classic car - GQ.com
" Andrew is the service director at Joe Macari, the official Ferrari classic garage in London where my recently purchased 1987 Ferrari Testarossa is being preened. We were talking about the various iterations of the Ferrari Testarossa , and I was in a good mood, as his report on my Testa was all good: no crash damage ever, and engine internals as perfect as the 21,000 miles would suggest. All original and a great investment car. You need to invest in an investment, and my eye was already on the next potential addition to my Ferrari stable. A little detail: the outrageous-looking Testarossa was launched (in a Paris nightclub, obviously) in 1984. Mine dates from 1987. The car was facelifted in 1992 to become the 512TR, a car visually very similar to mine, but more refined to drive... Then, in 1995, Ferrari morphed that into the legendary F512M (for Modificato). Just 501 were made for the world, between 1995 and 1996. Compared to the Testarossa and 512TR, it had more power, lightweight racing engine internals, an updated exterior, and a modified interior.
