Maserati 4000 Quattroporte, year 1970. (First registration 22 October 1970). Chassis number AM1071212, engine number 18427365. Colour blue metallic combined with a beige leather interior and pale brown carpet. This Quattroporte comes from the second series (tipo AM107) of which only about 530 cars were built from 1966 until 1970. This impressive machine was imported to the Netherlands in the year 2007, then the bodywork was restored and given new paint. The automobile is in a good and very original condition. The interior, the engine compartment, and the boot are fully original and show normal traces of age and use. Recently the carburettors were overhauled and adjusted by BCCP in the Netherlands and the brakes were overhauled. Currently the odometer shows 28.874 kilometres. This Quattroporte is fitted with the 260 bhp 4.1 Litre V8 engine which is mated to a 5-speed manually operated gearbox. In the 1960s the Maserati Quattroporte was with the fastest production four-seater four-door saloon cars of the period (with the Facel Vega and the Lagonda Rapide). The 4.7 Litre version of the Quattroporte was the fastest four door production car in 1968 with a claimed top speed of 255 km/h. The Maserati Quattroporte was designed by Piero Frua and production was handled by Vignale. The aluminium Maserati V8 engine features double overhead camshafts fitted with four double Weber carburettors. The driving experience is magnificent; the dashboard and the controls are driver focussed, and easy to operate. The ride is comfortable and the V8 exhaust note adds a wonderful sporty touch to the driving impressions. Very nice is the presence of a period correct Blaupunkt Köln top end radio which was also fitted in other exclusive cars of the period. This Maserati 4000 Quattroporte is a delightful driver car in very good and exceptionally original condition! A fantastic and rare collector car.
