Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of 279 Boras with the 4.9 engine and an unusual U.S. delivery model. Maserati Classiche certified. Sound older paint, but it shows light scratches and is a bit faded. Exterior plastic is dull. Wheels are lightly dinged up. Uneven fit on the engine cover. Very good, lightly worn original interior. A sound driver quality example that's largely original but has gotten attention when needed. Showing 65,696 miles and reportedly has just 6,000 miles since an engine rebuild.
Market commentary
This is one of the better Boras seen at auction recently and the bidders here at Bonhams recognized not only its quality but also the innate attraction of a 330hp mid-engined Italian exotic even at this mid-estimate price. Is this the start of an upward movement in Bora prices in response to ever-increasing Ferrari BB values? Only time will tell.
