The story of it having gone back, was spun by a prominent Vintage & Classic car collector in Bangalore, who wanted to take it from me by force, but failed. He spund the story that he had bought it and it had been confiscated, and sent back. The car very much alive and kicking in Koramangala, Bangalore. So......thought you guys should know. There was a picture of it in Autocar a few years ago, when they featured Ferraris in India.

That's good to hear! Have you had the privilege of owning any other Ferrari, that you may like to share with us?

Am i correct in my impression that the owner drives this Dino around occasionally but mostly the car is under wraps and not used?

(I know this^^ is an old post)Do the cars standing at the Kundanmal pump belong to them?

Cyrus43 · 11th July 2010, 14:10

Nope. They get serviced there or they get parked there. Alot of Gautam Singhania's Cars are parked there too.

Correction Cyrus. Gautams cars are not parked there but some are serviced there and then come back to his place. R.K. does not allow only parking in his Pump, so the cars you see there, some belong to him and others are there to get serviced (parts have to be imported, so some cars stand for a longer time).

Spotted what clearly looked like a red 512TR today crawling on the wrong side of the road between the airport turn off and the toll booth in bangalore. Was on the move and didn't want to backtrack on the wrong side of the road so no pics! So the legend of the red testarossa is no myth. I've seen it so I believe it! Cheers

The only Testarossa in India is a red 512M (with UK plates) in New Delhi. The car has been around since almost two decades now. Some pics of the 512M here -

A Ferrari 512TR belongs to 'The Complete Man' and the car is usually kept at his London residence but has been to Mumbai on carnet previously.

The red Ferrari you saw is probably the 348ts from Bangalore.
