The Appeal
The Maserati Spyder was the marque's return to the open-top GT market in the early 2000s, combining Italian flair with a sonorous Ferrari-derived V8 engine. This 2001 example is an early production model with a desirable early VIN number, making it among the first of its kind to roll off the production line.
The car was owned by a dealer and is now registered in Germany with a valid TÜV until 2027. It has been well-maintained throughout its life, with recent comprehensive servicing and mechanical attention that ensure it remains in good working order. With its original paintwork largely intact and full documentation, this Spyder represents an opportunity to acquire a usable modern classic from one of Italy's most prestigious manufacturers.
