"Hi Enrico,

I spotted this nice low mileage example of a Maserati Biturbo E on the "Bring a Trailer" auction website, without a reserve, and thought your fellow enthusiasts would enjoy these excellent photos. These days, you don't see many examples as good as this one !!! Check out their description below.

"1985 Maserati Biturbo E

This 1985 Maserati Biturbo was purchased new in San Francisco and has remained in California since new. Now with the third owner, it was recently purchased from the estate of the second owner, a factory-trained Ferrari mechanic who purchased the car from Sonnen Motors in 1992 and stored it in the back of his shop since 1999. The car is well documented from new and free of serious corrosion. It was stored indoors with an empty fuel system and several gallons of oil poured in to protect the engine, and once acquired by the seller a service was performed including new fluids, filters, and a new fuel pump. The car runs and drives fine as shown in the video below, but should be gone over before adding serious miles. Sale includes the original window sticker, factory tools and extensive documentation from new.

Paint is believed to remain original and still presents nicely with no peeling clear or other major flaws. Trim is complete, glass is free of chips and cracks and all rubber including bumper trim, window gaskets and inner weatherstripping remains in good condition. OEM wheels are in good condition, and the only rust the seller can find is a small bubble under the passenger side taillight. The car is photographed in detail in the expandable gallery below. Here’s the car as found in the previous owner’s San Rafael shop. Note the orginal blue and yellow plates which are retained.

The car was given a professional detail inside and out and cleaned up nicely. All plastic lenses are well-preserved with no cracking or fading, doors open and shut well and panel gaps appear to be factory-set.

The interior presents similarly and the model’s comfy butterscotch leather looks well preserved. Wood veneers are equally nice, the leather dash top shows no cracks or and all gauges, lights and switches work including the sunroof. Carpets have been cleaned and the headliner does not sag.

The 36,085 miles shown on the odometer are believed to be accurate based on included maintenance records. Note the unique stock shift knob with dog-leg first gear.

The car’s original 18v, twin turbo, 2.5 litre V6 was preserved during storage and fired to life easily after a proper service. This was largely thanks to the removal of all fuel from the tank and lines, as well as what the seller says was several gallons of oil poured into the engine itself.

Getting the car running again required fitment of a new fuel pump, filter and gas as well as an oil change. Once connected to a fresh battery the seller says it fired quickly and soon settled into a smooth, steady idle.

Though it now runs and drives with good pick-up through all five gears, the seller says the new owner should perform a thorough going over and install new tires before embarking on a long trip or daily driving. Two additional lift shots are provided in the gallery, as well as one of the bare trunk floor. Sale includes all original manuals, tools, window sticker and extensive paperwork documenting service over the years."
