This 1986 Ferrari Testarossa was used in the cult 1980’s television series Miami Vice. It was one of two Metallic Black ‘Flying Mirror’ Testarossa examples given to Universal Television by Ferrari North America. Director Michael Mann decided to have both cars repainted White to facilitate better visibility at night, and the iconic White on Crema Ferrari Testarossa livery was born.

Documented by both historians and its original title in Universal Television’s name, showing Ferrari North America as the lender, the Testarossa was then purchased by Preston Henn in 1990 upon completion of the Miami Vice series production.

The late Preston Henn was a legendary entrepreneur and larger-than-life character in the automotive community who famously raced around the world, winning the 1983 24 Hours of Daytona. During his life, Henn amassed a massive car collection that remained on display at the Swap Shop in Florida.
