Description
This fabulous 1978 Maserati Merak SS is a real jewel.
Originally supplied new to an American buyer, it was used in New York for many years, before being displayed in a museum between 2001 to 2017.
This explains the enviably low but credible mileage of just 29,000 – though this is not warranted.
This LHD machine arrived in the UK in 2020, after which the vendor commissioned a bare metal respray, transforming it from tired silver into the beautiful Maserati Dark Blue it is now resplendent in.
The condition of TAO993S is described as ‘simply excellent’ throughout.
This car displays great attention to detail, a hallmark of all well cared-for collectables.
The Campagnolo alloy wheels glisten, while the premium matching Firestone tyres all have ample tread.
It has period number plates, the chromework is in perfect condition, and the interior is perfectly period, even down to an original 1970s Blaupunkt cassette player.
The car even benefits from a recent set of new black wool carpets...
