The Maserati Sebring was named for the company’s win in the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring.

Rare and desirable, this Series II Sebring is one of the most charismatic GT cars of its era.

It is believed that no more than 446 Sebring coupés were built from 1962 to 1969, with 348 being Series I examples and only 98 of the rarer Series II Tipo AM101/10 (exact numbers vary, depending on the source).

Output from the 3.7-litre, twin-cam, twin-ignition inline-six was 245 hp, which was fed by Lucas indirect mechanical fuel injection.

The 4000 GTi had a 4,012-cc engine producing 252 bhp at 5,200 rpm.

Power was increased toward the end of the series to 261 hp.

With a price tag of £5,116 (tax paid in the UK), the Maserati was some 22% more expensive than the contemporary Aston Martin DB5, its closest rival.

This car was imported by Thepenier Maserati and would be the last Maserati Sebring imported to France.

The original sales invoice from delivery to its first French owner accompanies the car.
