Market commentary

As an automobile a Quattroporte is less reliable and far more complicated than an old Jaguar but as an object it is nothing less than beautiful. The coachwork is purposeful and aggressive. The interior is sublimely luxurious. The 4 cam, 4 Weber engine is mechanical artwork. Unfortunately the whole is less than the sum of its marvelous parts, suffering from exaggerated complication and an inexplicable electrical system with more fuse boxes than a whole showroom of Volkswagens. This one owner example may be the exception to the rule, however. It seems to have led a good, even pampered, life and may actually be drivable. At this price just the experience of owning it can be savored. If it proves otherwise, put the engine on a stand in a man cave, surround it with the soft, supple leather seats and think about its origin in the fabled 450S.
