Sometimes known as the Indiana Jones of car collecting, John Termerian has a knack for finding rare treasures in the shape of vintage supercars. The co-founder of Curated, and host of the CuratedTV YouTube channel, may not wear a Fedora or wield a bullwhip, but John’s time is not short on adventure.
His latest escapade sees him visiting Italy where he casts his eye over some of his recent purchases, including a Ferrari Testarossa and a Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota. Read on to find out what’s in store for these rare European cars.
The Bygone Supercars Of Italy
Some may refer to him as Indiana Jones, but others might connect John to Batman considering he’s bought a 6.5-liter, Grigio Telesto Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. This is a rare supercar that achieved fame when Bruce Wayne drove one in 2008’s The Dark Knight. That particular car isn’t the main focus of this video, though.
John is traveling to a location near Maranello, Italy to check out another of his cars that is being restored. It’s a silver, flying-mirror Ferrari Testarossa abandoned for three decades. He’s also paying a visit to the folks at Cremonini Classic, who have been working on his triple yellow Lamborghini Diablo SE30 Jota, which was the official UK press car.
John claims this is one of only 28 that the Italian supercar manufacturer released and is now ready for shipping to the USA. This restored beast is the only triple-yellow of its kind and is simply stunning. It will make one wealthy enthusiast very happy indeed.
John also inspects a rare vintage Lamborghini Countach before visiting the new colossal workshop of Cremonini Classic. He then takes to the road once more and the video shows off the quaint streets of northern Italian cities.
How Much Is A Ferrari Testarossa Worth Today?
John and the team at Curated Miami deal primarily in particularly rare vintage supercars, which have eye-watering price tags. It’s unclear how much John’s Testarossa will sell for, but these cars often fetch serious money on the classic car market. Ferrari produced the original 4.9-liter Testarossa from 1984 to 1991, and there were just shy of 10,000 produced. The asking price for a Testarossa can vary depending on its condition, but they average out at approximately $130,000.
A really clean Testarossa, or one with a feature that makes it unique, can command an even steeper price. One of these Italian supercars sold for over $300,000, so despite being out of production for decades, there is clearly a high demand for them.
