Maserati Khamsin 1979

Allmän beskrivning : The Maserati Khamsin is a rather unusual yet admirable grand tourer that was produced from 1974 until 1982. Like all traditional Maserati’s being named after a wind, ‘Khamsin’ refers to a hot, violent gust which blows across the Egyptian desert for 50 days of the year. Despite its era, the Khamsin’s development and design is extremely impressive. The cars construction and front mid-mounted engine position created a 50/50 weight distribution which worked well with its newly improved double wishbone suspension.
The distinctive Gandini ‘’wedge’’ design incorporated some strange but surprisingly functional features, this included a Kammback, almost all glass rear end which was further characterised by a full-width glass rear panel and floating headlights, allowing good visibility. Another unique design element was a spare wheel stored beneath the front radiator as the engine was pushed so far back.
Delivered new to a Mr D.K Robson of Sunderland on 30/10/1979, this example was specified in Rosso over Beige interior. Mr Robson had the car looked after by Killinghall Garage in Harrogate along with other specialists such as  Gordon Lamb and W.H Lumb Maserati. The car was then sold to its second owner in 1991, a Mr Duncan Reynolds whom owned the car until very recently, also having the car regularly maintained in his ownership. 
This wonderful example is 1 of just 12 UK supplied right hand drive’s and likely to be one of the few with such an impressive provenance. With just 2 owners from new, both prominent Maserati owners club members, this is a rare opportunity to own a Khamsin with such a well-documented history. It still has its original supplying dealer rear screen sticker, sales invoice, brochure, Borelli clock instructions and even the supplying dealers matchbook for those who are sentimental. The cars history file also contains multiple invoices, previous MOT's, registration documents and even its original service book and handbook. 
This car has recently had £45,000 spent on a number of items at McGrath Maserati, mainly the well-known hydraulic system featured on this car which controls the clutch, brakes, steering and seats! it requires no further preparation and is ready to be enjoyed.

om Maserati
Maserati, själva epitomen av Italiens finaste traditionella lyxiga sportbilar. Låt oss dyka in i den fängslande berättelsen om Maseratis rika historia, ska vi?

Akt 1: De Brölande Tjugotalsåren

I hjärtat av Bologna, Italien, föddes Maserati 1914, grundat av bröderna Maserati. De brölande tjugotalsåren såg Maserati etablera sig som en kraft inom racing och erövra hjärtan med sin precisionsteknik och eleganta design.

Akt 2: Triumferna för Trindenten

Den ikoniska Tridents logotyp uppstod på 1920-talet och symboliserade Maseratis dominans inom racing. Modeller som Tipo 26 och 250F prydde banorna, den senare säkrade Juan Manuel Fangios Formel 1-världsmästerskap 1957.

Akt 3: Vägarnas Rytande (1960-tal till 1980-tal)

Maserati övergick från racerbanor till gatorna och introducerade lyxiga grand tourers. Ghibli, ett namn som väcker tankar om ökenvind, och de fantastiska Bora och Merak, med sina mittmotor-designer, blev symboler för bilens elegans.

Produktionsantal:

Ghibli (1967-1973): Cirka 1 170 enheter.
Bora (1971-1978): Ungefär 524 enheter.
Merak (1972-1983): Cirka 1 830 enheter.
Akt 4: Turbulens och Triumfer

1980-talet bjöd på utmaningar, men Maserati höll stånd. Biturbo-serien syftade till att föra varumärket till en bredare publik, och kombinerade prestanda och lyx. Trots ägarbyten fortsatte Maseratis anda.

Produktionsantal (Biturbo-serien):

Biturbo (1981-1994): Över 38 000 enheter.
Avslutning: Modern Elegans och Kraft

När vi äntrar 2000-talet förenade Maserati tradition med modernitet. Quattroporte, GranTurismo och Levante fortsatte arvet och blandade italienskt hantverk med toppmodern teknik.

Maserati, med sin tidlösa Trident-emblem, står som ett vittnesbörd om den italienska passionen för både racing och lyxigt hantverk. Genom triumfer och prövningar har Maserati etsat sitt namn i bilhistoriens annaler som en symbol för stil, prestanda och strävan efter perfektion.
