The car presented here is a rare original and low mileage time bubble.It still wears the originalZagato workshop blackpaint and tan interior, showing astonishinglylittle rust. As can be seen in the photos - there is some on the front clip and in the lower right side of thewindshieldframe. the rest of the car is solid and rust free. Most of the original paint still shines nicely. Originalluxuriousinterior is intactas can be expected from such a lowmileagecar. Top needs replacement.
The car was stored in a collection not driven for quite a few years and will probably need attention, however the engine has good compression, gearbox shifts great and the turbos kick in as they should without smoking. It starts, runs and drives very fast and smooth and sounds great.
It is being sold as is but you are welcome to come and test it in person before bidding.
As '60Maserati carswere affordable in the '90, and '70 in the '00, I'm sure such a rare '80MaseratiZagatois a solid investment in 2016.
