Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder Only 232 made, matching numbers and colours, EU de 1960
General description :
Between 1957 and 1964 Maserati built 1,976 3500GT’sCoupé with a Touring body. This convertible with a Vignale body on the other hand is much rarer with only 232 having been produced. Since this car first hit the roads in 1960 it has lost none of its beauty. What a gorgeous design! This car has recently been resprayed in her original “Grigio Platino” finish. The quality of the respray and its current condition is fantastic. The bodywork is as straight as can be with lovely thin and correctly aligned panelwork. The hood provides a tight fit and only shows slight signs of wear. Furthermore, the brightwork and Borrani wheels are all very neat. The interior is upholstered in black leather with black carpets, exactly as it was when the car left the factory. Both the leather and carpets are in good condition. The dashboard sports fine Jaeger instruments which are all in correct working order. There is also a Becker radio, a lovely original three-spoke steering wheel and for the ultimate luxury touch: electrically operated windows. Mechanically this Maserati has also enjoyed the utmost care and attention. It still has its original engine, which with its three twin Weber carburettors runs wonderfully well. The straight-six 3.5 litre engine is attached to a 5-speed ZF gearbox. The transmission is both smooth and precise. The car also. has front disc brakes and a stainless steel exhaust system. The Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder is an absolute beauty that can measure itself with ease to other period beauties like the Lancia Aurelia B24 Spyder, De BMW 507 Convertible, de Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster en Aston Martin DB4 Convertible. This car comes with a certificate and the build sheet confirming the engine’s matching numbers. This is an elegantly presented fantastic 1960 Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder!

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.
