Condition

Market commentary

An exceptionally pretty, fast and well restored Maserati that popped the top off Bonhams' estimate and deserved to do so. Mille Miglia eligible even if it never ran in period, it will be hard for the MM organizers to deny a place to this succulent little 1.5-liter 6-cylinder Maserati. Rarity and event eligibility combine to complete the equation on this exceptional price that should serve notice that Maserati is back in collectors' favor.
