1999 Maserati Quattroporte 3.2 V8 Biturbo (Cornes Serie Speciale)
Highlights
One of only 50 Cornes Serie Speciale built, exclusively for the Japanese market
Recently underwent a major service costing nearly €10,000
Registered in Poland
Only 66,000 km on the clock
The Appeal
Just as the Quattroporte IV was coming to an end, Cornes & Company of Yokohama opted to celebrate the car's success in their market with a special numbered edition, smattered in their branding and each marked by a unique plaque. Only fifty of these were available, and have quickly proven collector's items. After all, they're not only very unique, but from the territory where Masers seem to thrive most - the grit-free, well-maintained roads of Japan!
This fine 1999 example has been recently imported to Poland, with much of its Japanese paperwork and, of course, a lovely rot-free underside that defies how many of these Ferrari-derived luxury cars tend to arrive on the market. It's very rare we see a Cornes Serie Speciale arrive on the market, and we've no doubt this one will attract plenty of attention.
