Jaeger LCD dashboard
Polished wood rimmed steering wheel
Cream paintwork
Saddle brown leather upholstery

This is a beautiful car, styled by Bertone, which has had tens of thousands of pounds spent on it recently. All work has been carried out sympathetically and meticulously, so as not to spoils its highly original look and feel.
The car is well known to the UK Maserati Owners Club and to specialists Bill McGrath Limited of Kimpton, Hertfordshire, England.
It has also been exhibited at Goodwood Festival of Speed Concours. It comes with a thick file of history and documentation along with some very rare factory literature / brochures etc, and it is genuinely a delight to drive, once acclimatised to the quick handling.
This unique car deserves to be cherished by its next enthusiastic owner or placed in the special care of a quality collection or museum.
This is a very important piece of motoring history which cannot be repeated.
