My Ferrari Testarossa suffered some minor bodywork damage back in the nineties but the repair done at the time wasn’t great so I’ve taken it to Prestige Refinishing to strip it back and make it perfect again.

Beautiful car !
Always appreciate these videos as they really get into the appreciation and understanding of the old gems and an insight into what it takes to preserve them
Hey Harry. Awesome vid as always. I had to laugh at the brakes! Haven’t we come a long way. My current Sunday car has nearly 17.5 inch front disks! Ridiculous but necessary. Otherwise, those panel boys are just the best. I’d have complete confidence in them too!
Never has a place of business been so perfectly named. Magicians. Also, sad to think in 20,30,40 years' time craftsmen like this will be just about extinct.
Flawless finishing skills. I know it wouldn't be 100 accurate. But it would be interesting to find what the car weighted before & then after all that filler has been removed.
It must be quite a few kilos on there.
Harry always talks himself into a bigger bill.
These boys are legends. Absolute masters at what they do.
I like Harry’s Garage !
I could watch these videos all day. Highly skilled professionals at work. Watching it all come together is incredible.
Harry talking like someone who is about to fleeced by a couple of builders by talking up the problem
And the buildings just keep adding zeros to the price
You did well to find these guys, the work they did to your Lancia would have tested the best in the trade. Its safe to safe the Ferrari is in very safe hands…looking forward to seeing the end result.
Absolutely love watching craftsmen at work.
Love the resto videos Harry. Please don't stop doing them.
I find these restoration episodes far more interesting than the endless reviews of ridiculously expensive SUVs and sports car exotica that are beyond the reach of almost everyone. Really nice to see skilled craftsmen picking apart poorly repaired panels and explaining why things are out of alignment. Excellent stuff!
Artists, skilled men that are rapidly becoming rarer and rarer
I love the details these guys put into the work.
Such a pleasure listening to These gentleman . By far my favourite body paint guys to listen too
Absolutely brilliant. "This wasn't right; so I straightened that out." I love how he throws out a line like that – he "straightened it out! We could only dream of doing work 0.1% as good as that. Genuine craftsmen who appear to love what they are doing.
It's funny to see how tiny the front brake discs are.
Another series of masterclasses begins. Fantastic! I hope after this one Harry, you manage to find defects in some of the other fleet to send to these maestro's so we can enjoy the recreation process. These are by far my favourite videos. Regards from Australia
The Testa Rossa is an enigma. Not beautiful, but breathtaking and impossible not to admire and desire. I've always been intrigued by this design (and its awful front overhang) while being caught between loving it and not knowing why I do. I've seen them in person and have always been drawn to them like a moth to the flame.That V-12 is gorgeous. There is just nothing like it. It is an iconic design and will be seen as such moving into the future where cars like this will never exist again. When you took it to Morocco, I thought you were nuts, but it stunned me how well it performed in a such a hostile environment. Legend doesn't do this car justice. It was always meant to be a great GT and that is what it is. I think you appreciate its genuine value and significance like few others. I hope you keep it forever.
Reassuring to see the master craftsman on the job.
Needs a modern brake upgrade
Can someone clean Henry up please? Poor guy in the background
Pretty decent guys at Prestige like how they took time to figure out what was wrong to start with and correct. Great advice too on always drop shut a bonnet/hood. maybe should get it taken off insurance record.
