Descripción
This is one of 242 Maserati Vignale Spyders built. It has a 3. 5 liter dual overhead cam, 6 cylinder motor, fed by three 2 barrel Weber carburetors, with twin ignition. It is also equipped with a 5 speed ZF transmission, disc brakes and Borrani wire wheels. The motor is rated at 240hp. This is a well preserved matching number, older restoration, updated with stainless steel exhaust, and still retains its original AM/ FM Blaupunkt radio. There are 40, 358km showing. It was completed on April 11, 1961, on special order for Alessandro Ruspoli, 9th Prince of Cerveteri, Rome, Italy. It is believed to be the first delivered with the optional 5 speed transmission: being fitted with triple Weber side draft carburetors makes it a very desirable and rare combination. Later cars were equipped with fuel injection and were not as responsive. Disc brakes and optional Borrani wire wheels further contribute to its driving pleasure. The car is in its original color (Argento Luna) as delivered new. It has lived in Mediterranean climates all of its life and the body and bright work are in outstanding condition. Mechanically, the engine drive train, brakes, and suspension are in optimum “ready to be driven anywhere” condition, having recently completed two 1, 000 mile rallies. Vignale Spyders are very user friendly and easy to drive. They represent excellent value, especially considering their rarity and compared to open Ferrari, Mercedes 300SL, and Aston Martin prices of the same time period. This car is fully sorted and ready to be shown, rallied, and enjoyed. Priced at $695, 000USD.
