Maserati Indy 1972
General description :
1136 Maserati Indy were produced as the successor to the Mexico from 1969-1974 and offered comfortable space for 4 people including their luggage. The engines available were V8 aluminium engines of various sizes with 4 overhead camshafts, all of which were supplied by 4 Weber downdraft carburretors and were based on the layout of the legendary Maserati 450 S, which was very successful in racing. The body of the Indy is based on a beautiful design by Studio Vignale.The most sought-after version is undoubtedly the 4.7 liter. The difference to the basic model 4.2 was power steering as well as a comfortable brake booster. The standard 5-speed manual transmission from ZF is designed for the powerful performance of the 290 hp 4.7 liter machine from Maserati. This beautiful Indy, delivered in its original colour “celeste”, is a French first delivery and has always been based in the south of France.The completely original leather interior, patinated and faded from the French sun in one place or another, is wonderful. Air conditioning, electric windows and green-tinted glazing round off the comfort package. This Indy 4.7 America looks very elegant in this colour combination. Overall, it is in an authentic, unrestored condition with a great patina.The vehicle has always been serviced carefully and with a high level of technical understanding, and it is completely “matching numbers”. All in all, this 2 + 2 seated sports car icon is still completely underrated compared to the Bora and Ghibli and therefore a great investment.FOR UK BUYERSDUE TO BREXIT YOU’LL HAVE TO PAY A CLASSIC CAR TAX BETWEEN 5-12% ON TOP OF THE ASKING DEPENDING ON THE COUNTRY FOR CARS UK/EU OR EU/UK.I CAN ASSIST WITH TRANSPORT AND/OR OFFER A DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE INCLUDING TRANSPORT & CUSTOMS – ask for my feesTHIS CAR IS LOCATED IN GERMANY and sold on behalf of the German seller.

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.
