I can attest to the cost of "properly" maintaining a TR. Mine is just
now getting out of the shop having its crown gear carrier replaced with
a one piece unit, replacing the clutch release bearing, and replacing
1st gear and its layshaft mate.

Larry Because the Testa Rossas are Ferraris, I love them, I do not particularly like them, and, if you look at all iterations of TR from the mid 80's to 1994 there are over 10,000 of them.....needless to say this has some impact on the pricing. Also in these days of unstable economics there is a tremendous amount of deferred maintenance taking place and the TRs are VERY expensive to play catch up with. Having said all of this, I have an 86 TR on my web site, it suffers from (Percieved defferred maintenance) ( yes it needs a belt serv.). it has been owner maintained since 1993/4....every time I see the car and think about what it represents and what it can be owned for all done, I ask my self why not just buy it as my long term Ferrari and, 1) I do not like black cars 2) I do not have a burning desire to have a TR 3) There is no way in Hell that I can justify the cost right now 4) I need it like another head But when I look at the pics and think about what this car represents, I remind myself why I may do it any way. Besides, it is my opinion that over the long haul they will turn out to be very good investments esp. if you value your time/interests as being part of a return.
