"This car was delivered new in October 1972 to a rich industrial
in Turin. Less than a year later, it was registered at the name of a
young lady that lived in Milan. The gossip is that this lady was the
secret lover of the first owner… In the summer of ’76, the car was sold
to a well known hotelier, that sold it in the nineties to the previous
owner. He fell in love with the car and he decided to restore the car
and invest fortunes to make it the way it is nowadays: beyond
perfection. The proof of this is that the car was exposed in Museo Casa
Enzo Ferrari in Modena for the prestigious 100 Years Maserati
exhibition. With the car comes all the documentation of the restoration,
as well as the original Libretto that documents the entire life of the
car.
If you like American restorations with lots of shiny chrome and thick
paint, this car is not for you. If you appreciated class and finesse,
with just the right hint of patina, then this car is a work of art. Of
course the car was fully restored, but this is not your average
restoration.
The coachwork was restored completely by former employees that worked
for Bacchelli & Villa, a well-known Italian coachbuilder. The fit
and shutlines of the coachwork is absolutely perfect, and the
mirror-smooth Verde Bosco Metallizato paintwork, that is applied in
original 1970’s “Nitro” based paint from Carrozziere Bossetti in Modena,
has got a structure and glow that simply cannot be attained with modern
water based paints.
The interior of the Maserati is stunningly restored with, amazingly,
many original materials. The majority of the leather upholstery and
headlining as well as the rosewood dashboard is the original trim,
brought back to almost new standard, with a gorgeous patina. Perhaps
it’s the best interior we’ve seen on a classic car so far.
The engine and all mechanical parts are completely rebuild into the
finest details by experts. The engine was bench tested and delivers a
silky smooth 253 BHP and 390NM torque. The 5 speed gearbox is silky
smooth and the power assisted steering and original air conditioning
make life very pleasant indeed.
Driving this distinguished car brings you back to the romance of the
early seventies and let you revive the flair and style that the wealthy
and debonair Italian entrepreneur that bought it new, must have had.
All that’s missing now is a pair of Persol 714 sunglasses and a tailor
made suit."
