MASERATI BITURBO COUPE
What a timewarp! This is a very early example of the original Maserati Biturbo in light metallic green with cord interior. This has the early home-market features of left hand drive, 2.0litre engine, carburettor and dog-leg gearbox and shows only 75,000kms, which while unwarranted would appear genuine looking at condition and history.
Delivered new in Turin in August 1982 (this is a first series car with a CB chassis number), it has quite a few stamps in the original service book for dealers around Turin but must have come to the UK in around 1999 as the Italian tax on the windscreen runs out then. It has been mostly in storage in the UK since then, although there is an MOT from 2004.
We do have the Italian Targa document to aid registration in the UK. This car is really a project as it requires some paint and bodywork, though is essentially sound. It also requires some further engine work to make it reliable.
It can’t be long now before the few Biturbo cars left start to appreciate. This is a car that would reward some investment as it is incredibly original and could easily be made into one of the best.

WARNING TO SELLERS
It has come to our attention that bogus buyers are contacting members via email, perporting to be interested in buying their cars.
These emails, mostly in broken English, offer to pay for the car without even seeing it. I understand that they often offer to send a cheque for a higher value than the car - say £30,000 for a £25,000 car. Thinking that they have sold their car, unsuspecting sellers are asked to send the bogus buyer a cheque for the difference which they can then cash within 3 or 4 days.
Unaware of what is going on, the seller will then find that the bogus buyer's cheque has bounced and this can often take up to three weeks or so one becomes aware. So the sellers are left without the car AND minus any monies forwarded to the buyer. There is also always the risk of a fake Banker's Draft which bounce.
Members may not be aware of this possible scam. It would be good to remind members that they should always insist on an electronic transfer of funds by BACS or CHAPS before parting with their beloved motors. |
