Market commentary
Back in 2006 Bonhams sold this Maserati as an unfinished restoration project for $188,106 (SFR 229,621 at the time) and needed, as described at the time, ''everything''. It''s now had all of that, and even more without being overdone to the point where it has to hide in a trailer. The seller was well-compensated for taking the risk but the buyer also got an exceptional example of Maserati''s craftsmanship, Allemano''s design and the meticulous specifications of Richard Cicurel, the original owner.
