This stunning and extremely rare, UK-supplied example was first registered on 14th October 1965 to a Mr James Alistair Todd of Marlborough. It remained with its first owner until 1989 and had just one additional owner until it was purchased by our vendor in 2008. Himself a skilled engineer, the car was then stripped and sympathetically restored over a seven-year period. The bodywork was painted and the engine was fully rebuilt with help and parts from Bill McGrath-Maserati. There are a number of invoices in the history file from Bill and other suppliers. In total, not counting his own hands-on involvement, the receipts added up to around £45,000, a serious amount considering this did not include any labour. Completed in 2015 and supplied with an MoT Certificate until May 2017, the car presents very well today. The paintwork is not perfect but is very presentable, the interior has been kept largely original, and the engine bay looks superb and has been detailed and finished to a high standard, The car has covered a gentle 2,500 miles since it was finished. A copy of the previous registration details confirms just three registered keepers from new. We welcome pre-sale inspections and encourage prospective bidders to contact the office for further details. This incredibly rare Maserati is ready for a new home and offers exclusivity, performance, and excellent value, especially when compared with Aston Martins and Ferraris from the same era.
