MASERATI BORA
A 1974 4.9 litre Bora in left hand drive US specification, this very original example is now for sale by its private owner. It’s not getting enough use he says. Indeed the odometer only shows 43,000 miles.
Unlike the later exports with the enormous rubber impact bumpers, these early cars were much closer to the European specification and could be completely Europeanised if desired. The current owner however, has chosen to maintain the car’s amazing originality.
The original exterior colour of Verde Pino is rare these days, especially when combined with ivory leather and grey carpets and while there is definitely a patina to the interior and paintwork, the structure of the car is very healthy.
Maintained by us for many years since imported to the UK in 1990, the car is mechanically sorted, drives well and is ‘on the button’ with current MOT etc. It has also been featured in Auto Italia magazine, fairing well when pitted against a De Tomaso Pantera and Ferrari 512BBi.
It is rare to find such a combination of usability and originality and is surely a shrewd investment for the future.

MASERATI MERAK SS
This 1977 right hand drive Merak SS has a very special history, as it has been in the same family since 1979, having been bought at that time from its first owner by UK Maserati Club President Alex Fyshe.
Fastidiously maintained throughout the Fyshe family ownership (by us since the late 1980s) and used regularly on many Maserati Club events in the UK and abroad, this car still retains an incredible degree of originality and has never been restored. Even now, the mileage is only 35,000. The exterior is celeste blue, one of the best colours to bring out the beauty of the Merak shape. The interior is the rare blue velour, totally original down to the carpets and in excellent condition.
In recent years used less and less, the family now feels it is time to let the car go to another enthusiast. Currently MOT’d and ready for use, it does now requires some paint and body repairs and other improvements but could easily be made into a perfect original example and is of course priced accordingly.

MASERATI MERAK SS
One of the last of the Merak SS models, this 1983 car is finished in Blu Sera with magnolia hide and is the subject of much recent work.
Imported from South Africa a few years ago, the car had been subject of a body and engine restoration before we saw it. However, the current owner engaged us last year to carry out a mechanical sort out to make the car usable and this, together with re-trimming the seats and door panels in new hide, we have now done.
South African imports benefit from a distinct lack of corrosion when compared to Northern European cars and this is no exception. It would benefit from some further mechanical sorting but is an excellent basis to make a very good car and is currently MOT tested and on the button.
Recorded mileage is very low at 38,000, the car is original right hand drive and in a very popular colour scheme.
For sale by its private owner. Please contact Will Freeborough:

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. |
