Ferrari Testarossa ex-Alain Delon
Swiss title In his book which reminisences about his career, Le marteau et son maître, Hervé Poulain devotes a chapter to Alain Delon. The auctioneer is proud of the oxymoron he uses to define the actor : a man who is " brutally sensitive ". Their friendship grew from the passion they share for art and speed. The Parfums Delon sponsored the racing driver to take part three times in the Le Mans 24 Hour Race in a Porsche 935 and a Rondeau M379. And so the Ferrari Testarossa we are delighted to offer in the sale is unique, as it belongs to one of the world's greatest actors in the history of cinema. He is the Leopard, the Samurai, the Man in a Hurry, Zorro, Casanova, he is every role, he is Alain Delon. Does he slip into the skin of his characters, or do they slip into his…? This Ferrari Testarossa was delivered new by the Ferrari dealer in Meyrin, near Geneva, to the société Bussy on 29 April 1987. It was registered for the first time on 19 September 1989, in the name and personal address of Alain Delon in Geneva. The car has covered just 19,000 km from new, and its last major service was carried out by the Garage Ferrari Auto Service Bernex on 2 July 2009, when the belts, clutch and tyres were changed. It will be delivered to the successful bidder with the original leather folder containing the original log books and various manuals, as well as a black Ferrari suitcase. The service book is signed by the actor with a hand written note for the future owner of the car. Alain Delon's chauffeur, who has followed the maintenance of the car very closely, delivered the car to us in Paris, by road, on 10 January, demonstrating that it is in perfect mechanical condition. If you are looking for provenance and low mileage, we offer you the Testarossa! Monsieur Delon would like to make clear that his dog Shalva will not be included with the Ferrari!
