Maserati Biturbo Spyder 1986 Black/tan on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
I have kept my Biturbo Spyder in a climate-controlled garage with temperature stabilization and air filtration (keep pollen out, etc.) . But that's not all. I have also taken exceptional good care of it. As a result, the car's overall condition is spectacularly good and not not just for its age.
This is a 1986 Biturbo Spyder with dual turbos. It has a 2.5 Liter V6 engine. Odometer reads 52,390. It's easy to make sweeping statements about the car's condition - but as we all know - the devil is in the detail. I am willing to provide as much detail as possible, so here's a go at it. The condition of the chassis is extraordinarily good. To begin with, the car is rust-free thanks to climate-controlled storage. It has made a world of difference. No body panel has rust or any corrosive damage. The car has been carefully examined. The car has never been in an accident. There is no frame damage or stress of any kind. It has not been stored in, or exposed to cold weather. The condition of the paint does reflect its age (as seen under ultraviolet light). However, the shine remains superb thanks to relying on Zymol "Ital" glaze with 47% Brazilian carnauba wax. One of my photos shows the 20 foot ceiling's reflection on the hood. This wax resists just about anything including sun damage. Inspection of rear view mirrors mounted on the doors shows excellent condition of the plastic, trim, and mirror. The plastic rear window is also clear and the stitching has no defect. The interior of the car is also excellent. Take note of the condition of the instrument cowl, and the wood trim (crisp edges and no warping or fading). The convertible top fits nicely but is a bit tight-ftting at this time (needs use to loosen it up). The seats are in very good condition. Not just relative for their age, but very good - period. The plastic in the a/c vents and control buttons is sound but may be developing brittleness (they are coated with "conditioners" to keep them safe). The windshield glass is superb. Clean etched lines. Excellent visibility. No nicks or damage. The windows are in very good condition. The wheels are in very good condition with minor signs of wear and tear. The tires are in good shape. The electricals are in good condition thanks to climate-controlled storage. I include a photo of a circuit board to give you a detailed viewpoint. The car has just had its oil sump cleaned out completely (it had no sludge). The oil filter is new. The air filter is new and I have another one. Here's the bottom line: you can "save" money by buying a cheaper car only to spend more money returning it to good condition rather than buying this excellent car. Why waste time and money "restoring" to normal operation? Take this car to a higher level of performance instead. I am putting together a detailed report with more photos so that I can email to interested bidders. Nearly forgot to mention - brand new Sears DieHard Platinum battery $229.99 with 850 cold cranking amps & high performance features. |

Maserati and Lamborghini pull out of Iran
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Daimler is out, Toyota is out, Porsche is out, Hyundai, PSA Peugeot-Citroën are out and when it comes to selling cars in Iran, now Maserati and Lamborghini are out, too. The definitive pullouts of those last two automakers are said to be reactions to a press conference held by a group called United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI). The group highlights businesses that sell in both the US market and Iran, and works to get those businesses to choose one market or the other.
UANI said it had sent letters to Maserati and Lamborghini about their dealings in Iran, but that the letters went unanswered. Mark Wallace, head of UANI and a former US ambassador to the United Nations, held a press conference in October of last year that referenced the two companies. Apparently Lamborghini contacted Wallace just after the press conference and told him "they were out, they weren't doing any business in Iran anymore."
Discussions with Maserati then took place, and the Italian automaker said it had been out of Iran ever since Fiat announced it was leaving the country in May 2011. UANI said Maserati had been in talks with an Iranian distributor, however, and that distributor was continuing to use the Maserati name. The carmaker has since cut all ties with Iranian interests and has prevented its name from being used, adding that its new models will not be able to be sold there because they won't pass regulations the country's regulations.
Maserati Alfieri Concept lands on US shores ahead of 2016 production model
Sun, 17 Aug 2014America, meet the next sports car from Maserati. This is the Alfieri Concept, and it made the trip from Europe to make its US debut during the 2014 Monterey Car Week.
The two-door originally made its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, and has since made an ear-pleasing visit to the UK before it arrived at today's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
For those that need a refresher, the Alfieri is a 2+2 that will, when it arrives in 2016, be available with a 410-, 450- or 520-horsepower V6, with the latter two power levels coming with an all-wheel-drive system. The Alfieri Coupe will be joined by a convertible in 2017.
Maserati to cap output at 75,000 cars
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Maserati appears set to take a page out of corporate sibling Ferrari's playbook with the possibility that it may cap global annual output in the coming years. Ferrari announced in 2013 that it would limit itself to 7,000 vehicles a year to maintain exclusivity, and so far, it has stuck to the plan.
According to an unnamed Maserati executive speaking to Reuters, the Italian luxury car maker wants to cap its sales to 75,000 vehicles a year. However, it's hardly there yet. The company doesn't forecast reaching that production benchmark until 2018.
Dave Sullivan, an auto industry analyst for AutoPacific, thinks that limiting sales could be a smart move for Maserati. "If it is profitable at 75,000 and doesn't require a significant investment in capacity to get there, this appears to be sound," he said to Autoblog via email. "Alfa Romeo is intended to be the volume brand and by capping Maserati, it means that even if you opted to buy the 'entry level' Ghibli, you still have a level of exclusivity."
