Painting chrome parts black was an old (and rough) trick to cover up rust spots that had started to compromise the chrome. It was a cheap fix for cheap cars (at the time). But this is no ordinary car: it’s one of about 450 Mistrals equipped with the ultimate version of Maserati’s legendary inline six-cylinder… Read More No chrome: 1967 Maserati Mistral 4.0 by Frua
It’s the end of an era. We don’t know if this will mark the beginning of a new one, but the closing of Joop Stolze’s business—“The Mad Hatter”—the Dutchman well known across Europe for his decades-long activity, has come as a shock to many, starting with us. His is a name that every classic car… Read More The ultimate auction: The Joop Stolze collection
This car is absolutely divisive: you either love it or hate it, but it certainly can’t leave anyone indifferent, thanks to its bold design that follows the modernist trends of the late 1960s. Of course, we love it, and we can confidently say that this model is the forerunner of all the powerful 4-seaters we… Read More Pure 70s: 1974 Citroen SM
We often hear “it was not understood” but in reality the problem does not lie in those who do not understand, but in those who do not explain themselves well. The above is, in a nutshell, the story of this model: it is a comfortable sedan, with an unmistakable design, luxurious interiors and a Maserati… Read More Black tie: 1974 Citroen SM
Mistral is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows from southern France into the Gulf of Lion in the northern Mediterranean. And like the wind of the same name, this Maserati too can leave the observer rather “frozen”. There is in fact a lot to do with this car, indeed, there is not a single… Read More Cold wind: 1968 Maserati Mistral 4.0 by Frua
Our interest in classic work vehicles is certainly nothing new, which is why when we see one that is rare or that seems to have a special history, we publish it. And here comes a Fiat 1100 T (one of the most popular vans in Italy in the 1960s) which seems to be one of… Read More Works rig: 1965 Fiat 1100T
It is amazing how, after years of recovering abandoned and hidden classic cars, those who have good prospectors at their disposal often manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat. The seller who offers this 3500 GTi is certainly not new to these companies, and this time he has found a 3500 GTi with… Read More 54 years ownership: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring
The Citroen SM has always been little considered in the world of classic cars, perhaps for the fact that it was a Citroen in itself, perhaps for the fear of facing the maintenance or restoration of a “complex” car, perhaps for both reasons. Yet when this car was unveiled in Geneva in March 1970, the… Read More Code S: 1972 Citroen SM
In 1984, as a car enthusiast kid, my pantheon of supercars was obviously made up of Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 288 GTO. However, just one step below, there was a sedan. The sedan in question was the Maserati Quattroporte, probably because of its elegant but muscular lines at the same time: even… Read More V8 living room: 1984 Maserati Quattroporte 4.9
It is certainly one of the most beautiful Maserati ever made, yet it is one of the most forgotten: perhaps because it was not lived in a good period. His life in fact overlapped with the worst oil crisis ever happened, and that crisis claimed several victims, this does not mean that this was probably… Read More Stainless blue: 1972 Maserati Bora 4.7
