Maserati 3500GT GTI Vignale Spyder LHD 1962
General description :
One of just 251 Vignale Spyders and one of only 5 right hand drive examples produced, this stunning example benefits from a number of desirable factory options including Borrani wire wheels and electric power windows. Importantly this car has retained a full set of numbers that match the factory build records with Maserati Classiche certificate. This example has recently completed a full professional restoration by Woodham Mortimer Ltd with very little use since. We have completely refurbished the Lucas fuel injection system which will be included in the sale however, we have opted to use the triple Weber set up as was used on earlier cars.
Presenting in Metallic Gunmetal Grey with Tan interior it is a truly first-class example and one of the rarest of Italian GT Spyders. Please contact us for further details.
Car in the images is a LHD example in the same colour specification.

About Maserati
Maserati, the epitome of Italy's finest traditional luxury sports cars. Let's dive into the captivating narrative of Maserati's storied history, shall we?Act 1: The Roaring Twenties
In the heart of Bologna, Italy, Maserati was born in 1914, founded by the Maserati brothers. The roaring twenties saw Maserati establishing itself as a force in racing, capturing hearts with its precision engineering and sleek designs.
Act 2: The Trident's Triumphs
The iconic Trident logo emerged in the 1920s, symbolizing Maserati's dominance in the racing world. Models like the Tipo 26 and the 250F graced the tracks, with the latter securing Juan Manuel Fangio's Formula One World Championship in 1957.
Act 3: The Road Cars Roar (1960s-1980s)
Maserati transitioned from racetracks to the streets, introducing luxurious grand tourers. The Ghibli, a name evoking the desert wind, and the stunning Bora and Merak, with their mid-engine designs, became symbols of automotive elegance.
Production Numbers:
Ghibli (1967-1973): Approximately 1,170 units.
Bora (1971-1978): Around 524 units.
Merak (1972-1983): Approximately 1,830 units.
Act 4: Turbulence and Triumphs
The '80s brought challenges, but Maserati persisted. The Biturbo series aimed to bring the brand to a broader audience, blending performance and luxury. Amid ownership changes, Maserati's spirit endured.
Production Numbers (Biturbo Series):
Biturbo (1981-1994): Over 38,000 units.
Finale: Modern Elegance and Power
Entering the 21st century, Maserati merged tradition with modernity. The Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and Levante continued the legacy, blending Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Maserati, with its timeless Trident emblem, stands as a testament to Italian passion for both racing and luxurious craftsmanship. Through triumphs and tribulations, Maserati has etched its name in the annals of automotive history as a symbol of style, performance, and the pursuit of perfection.
