When you see a crisp white Ferrari Testarossa – you’re likely to think about the performance and pedigree of this rare and desirable marque.

However, this particular Survivor could be referred to as a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing, as it was originally owned by ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ - Jordan Belfort.

Jordan ordered the car new from New York Ferrari dealer Steven Kessler, and he is named as the first owner in the warranty book and original invoices which accompany the car. It was at this time that Jordan and his company Stratton Oakmont was growing in stature, making loads of money, and as we found out later in the headlines, breaking all the rules. This car has only covered 8,300 miles, and is one of the last Testarossas built from the 7,177 cars produced.

Even though the Testarossa was one of the most mass produced Ferraris made, it is still highly desirable amongst Ferrari collectors. This car is still for sale – via an exclusive car dealer that caters for the rich and famous. Who will be the next owner of this famous Ferrari? And will they be as successful or as infamous as the car’s previous owner?

From a very young age, Aaron was drawn to cars. Spotting chrome bumpered classics from the back seat of a 1978 Toyota Corolla as a child, his knowledge grew from basic brands and models to more details and specifications as a teen. He began buying and collecting magazines, reading them cover to cover absorbing as much information as possible. Primarily following local motor racing – and the cars they were built from, Aaron would watch the Bathurst 1000 coverage each year from start to finish. With a broad passion for all classic cars, his specialty is locally built and assembled muscle cars, whilst keeping an eye on the oddballs. Hunting for old cars and the stories surrounding them is a lifelong obsession, often finding them in the most unusual places or via the most unusual people. Fast talking and quick thinking, he’s always on the go. If you want to chat - you're going to have to try and keep up with him!
