FERRARI TESTAROSSA

GOLDEN ERA OF THE SUPERCAR • In the wake of the Countach, Testarossa and 911 turbo came a host of supercars that captured the hearts of both buyers and children alike

KEEPING THE FAITH • The painstaking restoration of this Duesenberg turned a pile of parts into an award-winning Model SJ, giving both the car and its 92-year-old owner a new lease of life

FULL BLOODED ORANGE • For three decades, Jägermeister brought colour to the racing landscape – and many of the cars have returned home to the small collection of ’72 Stagpower
