Engine. No. AM10110419

Named in honor of the 12 Hours of Sebring, where the Maserati 450S driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and Jean Behra achieved a remarkable victory in 1957, the Maserati Sebring carries over the mechanics of its recent predecessor, the 3500 GTI, which itself was derived from the engine of the Maserati 350S, a racing prototype entered in the Mille Miglia, renowned for its reliability. The Sebring features a tubular chassis and a fuel-injected 3.5-liter inline-six producing 235 horsepower, dressed by the great designer Giovanni Michelotti for Vignale.

Delivered new in Grigio Inglewood Grey over Marrone Brown leather with Orange carpeting, riding on Borrani wire wheels and fitted with the desirable 3500 GTi specification, this charming Sebring was first registered in Geneva, Switzerland, on 20 May 1966.

Showing just 17,000 kilometers, the Maserati passed to its second owner in 1970, whose family would retain it until 2017. In the hands of careful and attentive custodians, it remains accompanied by a comprehensive history file documenting history and work carried out over the years. In 1988, the braking system was comprehensively overhauled, followed in 1989 by a rebuild of the ZF transmission by Geneva specialist Jean Schmid.

In 2011, with approximately 82,000 kilometers on the odometer, the owners embarked upon a major program of refurbishment, entrusting the work to leading specialists regardless of cost, with detailed invoices on file. The engine was completely dismantled and rebuilt by FB Motors of Saint-Jeoire, Haute-Savoie, France. The fuel-injection system was serviced by Lucas Fuel Injection specialists Power Props in the Netherlands, while the Borrani wire wheels were refurbished by Graber Sportgarage in Switzerland. The front seats were reupholstered by Garniture Artisanale of Plan-les-Ouates. In 2013, Millet, Geneva, attended to the electrical system, dashboard, windows, alarm, horn, and related components.

After 47 years in the same family, the car was offered for sale at public sale during Rétromobile in 2017. Following its sale, it underwent a cosmetic refresh by classic-car specialists Klassik Garage Kronberg of Germany, who corrected the various imperfections present both inside and out at a cost of approximately €20.000.

Today, offered by its German owners who acquired the car in 2021, the Sebring is accompanied by its impressive history file, including maintenance and restoration invoices, period documentation, its tool kit housed in the original leather roll, Twin Heuer stopwatches on a rally plate fitted ten years ago, and two keys.

Displaying 87,879 kilometers at the time of cataloging, this Sebring represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the defining grand tourers of the 1960s, benefiting from an exceptionally continuous and well-documented history.
