Maserati Khamsin
Car No 409 of 430 made - First registered 15 June 1979 - Right-hand drive.
Designed as a replacement for the legendary 170 mph Ghibli, the beautiful sweeping lines of the Khamsin came from Carrozzeria Bertone. Launched in 1974, this sleek coupe with several unique and distinctive design features is equipped with the 4.9 litre double-overhead camshaft V8 Maserati engine of racing heritage linked to a 5-speed ZF gearbox. Performance was over 170 mph.
The Khamsin (named after a desert wind) was equipped with every modern feature then available for luxury cars including: electric windows and aerial, heated rear screen, air conditioning, variable speed wipers, all round independent suspension, hydraulically actuated disc brakes, clutch, headlights and driver’s seat height adjustment. The Khamsin is fitted with beautiful Campagnolo alloy wheels.
I have owned Car No 409 for four years and have overseen its re-commissioning from a restoration in the late 1990s and the subject of a feature article in Auto Italia (January 2000). There is a history file stretching back into the mid 1990s with bills for £25,000 worth of mechanical work alone. During my ownership the car has covered only 3,000 kms. The oil (GTX) was last changed a year ago since when the car has covered less than 500 kms.
The bodywork is in excellent overall condition with correct lines and is free from irritating minor dents. The yellow is a metallic tint and really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Chrome and brightwork is all excellent. The interior is beautifully finished in beige leather and in very good condition, free of tears or marks and with dark brown carpets. There is an expensive modern Radio and CD player. The dashboard has been recovered (at great expense!) in brown Alcantara and looks superb.
Mechanically, all systems are working correctly and there is a stainless steel exhaust system.
Recent work on the car has included improved under bonnet engine bay detailing and overhaul of the hydraulic system.
Khamsins rarely come on to the market so pricing is difficult. Last year an ex-museum car sold for £70k, another with poorer interior than mine sold for over £30k. This is on the verge of a concours car but is ideal for fast regular luxury motoring.
The car will be supplied with a new MOT (due to expire 30 July), handbook, parts manual and other material relating to the model and its provenance.
Realistically priced !!
The car may be viewed at the Silverstone Classic weekend (23-25 July) or by appointment in the Hertfordshire area.

Maserati Mistral Project
I have a Maserati Mistral project I wish to sell. I believe it is one of only 7 right-hand drive 4-litre versions built. The car has been stripped and body/chassis restoration commenced, however the project has been dormant in dry storage for several years. The car is complete less engine and currently in Jersey.
If you have any interest, please contact Dave Manning for more details -

Body from a 1964 Maserati Mistral
An ambitious project requires me to dispose of the entire body work and trim from my 1964 Maserati Mistral. For sale, wings, bonnet, glass, roof etc., all stripped to bare metal. The interior trim (excluding instruments, dash, wheel, etc.) and lights are also for sale. The car has been kept outside for a number of years so all parts come complete with spiders and 6 years of English weather.
Please contact Ceri Smith for more details - Tel: +44 (0)7711199696 (evenings only) - E-mail: ceri4@mac.com |

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. |
