1966 Maserati Quattroporte S11 SOLD

Matching numbers, very original and extremely rare in such lovely condition.

History of this car

Our 4. 2 litre engine Quattroporte fitted with a 5 speed ZF manual gearbox was manufactured in October 1966 and supplied new to Switzerland on 17/ 10/ 1966, finished in Beige metalizzato with a Marrone Connolly leather interior, the same combination it wears today. This is the Tipo 107A model, or Series 11, of which 253 cars were made.

The Maserati found its way to Italy in 1972 and registered in Milan, moving to Modena in 1980 and having 3 owners in Italy until importation to the UK in 2006; since then, it has had the one owner here.

Running well upon importation, mechanical and body improvement have been carried out over the years and this car has seen a lot of regular, reliable use. It has also been road tested by Classic & Sportscar magazine and has been used by Maserati UK in 2008 and 2011 at the Motorshow recreation at the Goodwood Revival.

Simply put, this is one of the very best examples anywhere combining mechanical excellence with perfect paintwork and an incredible original interior.

Body

Previously painted once in the 1980s, the paint had aged in places so was repainted in 2020 in the original colour. The paint today is magnificent with a highly polished shine and panel fitment is spot-on. All panels and screens were removed in the painting process, and new outer sills fabricated. All new body rubbers were applied. The works are photo documented and receipted.

All glass and lenses are generally excellent and are all original; the bumpers are without damage and the chrome trim has some patina, the decision being made when it was repainted to leave some age to the presentation, congruent with the originality of the interior.

Mechanics

You are encouraged to look at the stance of other Quattroporte examples and compare to this one: very few have the correct size (and very expensive) Pirelli CN72 tyres fitted and even fewer have had the front suspension work this one has had; most of the cars you see are nose heavy.

With a rebuilt engine this car goes like the wind and we reckon the experience is as close as you’ll get to what it was like new. A detailed log of works is in the history file that accompanies the car, summarised here:
