SUMMARY
A superb car with a single family ownership and extraordinarily low miles. Surely the best in the world.
DESCRIPTION
Background:
When Alejandro de Tomaso acquired Maserati in 1976, he had ambitious plans for the marque. His aim was to combine the prestige of the Maserati brand with a sports car that would be more affordable, replacing the higher priced models that had traditionally made up the Maserati range. In the 1980s, BMW's E30 ruled the roost for well heeled buyers who wanted a practical car that drove well and sounded good. Keen to grab a piece of this hugely lucrative market, Maserati introduced the BiTurbo in 1981. The concept was simple: a two-door coupé or a four-door saloon, but with a huge dollop of Italian style and purpose. A V6 under the bonnet came with two turbos, which was a first for a production car.
The Car:
The car on offer here is surely the best surviving example in the world, having covered just 12,270km (7,624 miles) from new under a single family ownership. Supplied new in Bologna in 1988, it was cared for from new by Autosport of Bologna during its time in Italy. Very few options were available at the time of ordering, but it was specified with a Nardi wooden wheel and Borrani Milan wire wheels (the original alloys are also included in the sale). There was also a high-spec option of power steering and an electric roof, which was also ticked on the order form. It is believed that of the 524 cars ever produced, only 24 were specified this way.
It spent the first 21 years of its life in Italy, with the only change of ownership being from father to son, who then imported the car in 2019 when he himself moved to the UK.
Following a period of dry storage, the car was treated to a substantial recommissioning, with all fluids replaced, brand new tyres, wheels refurbished, paint corrected where necessary, repolished interior wood veneer, detailed Alcantara trim, stainless steel exhaust, new cam belt and a full service. Supplied with a fresh MOT with 'no advisories'.
The results are stunning and we gather the car once again drives like new. The car has a substantial history file which includes the complete book pack, original bill of sale, all Italian documents and proof of Italian provenance. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a beautifully preserved part of Maserati's history.
