Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Blaupunkt multiband radio, power windows, air conditioning.

Condition

Casually masked old repaint with a few scratches and chips. Worn original upholstery. Badly frayed original driver's shoulder belt. Loose body side molding. Scuffed bright trim. Peeling old undercoat with surface rust underneath. A Maserati with many needs and few good surprises.

Market commentary

The catalog recounts occasional mechanical work in the past ten years or so, but nothing comprehensive, a record consistent with the erratic presentation. This result is a deft compromise between this Bora's presentation and its innate rarity and performance potential. Boras are unlikely ever to catch up with their mid-engined V12 competition from Maranello, but at a third or less the price still represents potentially good value for money, value tempered in this case by any number of needs that will not be inexpensive to fix.
