A car that was formerly owned by singing sensation Rod Stewart, 80, is currently up for sale - and is expected to sell for a whopping £150,000. The singer’s love of sports cars has endured for more than half a century and he has owned many over the years, including a Ferrari Testarossa.
The car's advert says that Sir Rod owned the Testaross for two and a half years and even includes some upgrades which were added by the Maggie May singer back in the 90s. It reads: "Presented in the iconic Rosso Corsa with matching rosso hide and carpets, this striking Testarossa was owned by legendary musician Rod Stewart for two and a half years. During his ownership, the car received an upgraded stereo system and speakers, which remain fitted today." It continues: "This Testarossa boasts exceptional provenance, having had only five registered owners over 36 years. It is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including the original service book, handbooks, past invoices, MOT certificates, and V5 documents.

"An excellent example of Ferrari’s iconic flat-12 supercar, enhanced by celebrity ownership and offered with a complete history from new."
Last year, in November, Rod opened up on selling some of his five sports cars as he was sick of potholes in his local area. Taking to Instagram at the time, he shared: “I am extremely fortunate and eternally grateful to be the owner of these five beautiful hybrid sports cars, which, in my opinion, are true works of art.
“Unfortunately, because of the potholes on our roads, I may have to find new owners for them. I’ve been driving these iconic Italian cars since the 70s, and I absolutely love and adore them. This post is for my fans – thank you, as you are the sole reason I own them.”
In 2022, Rod took action himself to help make local roads safer. Once again, posting to Instagram, he shared a clip of him shovelling gravel from a lorry into a large number of potholes with his team after an ambulance got a burst tyre and other cars were damaged as a result of the condition of the road.
He wrote: "I’m repairing the street near where I live because no one can be bothered to do it. People are bashing their cars up. The other day, there was an ambulance with a burst tyre. My Ferrari can’t go through here at all.
“We are filling in the holes ourselves while millions and millions of pounds are being spent on the M11.”
