Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. Cycle fenders, silver painted wire wheels, dual aeroscreens, Marchal headlights, small modern driving lights and taillights.

Condition

Not a real car, but a quality bitsa based on crankcase and axle 3004 with period bits like an aero screen, oil tank, water filler cap. The frame is wholly reproduced. Covered in event stickers with old, chipped paint and lightly worn upholstery that goes with its history. Chassis is aged and road grimy but orderly. An honest old bitsa that should run like a bear.

Market commentary

An enigma wrapped in a paradox that does nothing to detract from this honestly, if a bit effervescently, described Maserati. It is a bitsa, built up from a few original parts, but those are choice and the execution is outstanding. Driving it will be an experience amply supported by the ample price it brought.
