  • Delivered new in Spain
  • Matching numbers engine and chassis
  • Elegant Amaranto Roma colour

Built on the short-wheelbase chassis of the Spyder and likewise styled by Carrozzeria Vignale, the Sebring 2+2 coupé arrived in 1962. By now a five-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, and fuel injection were standard equipment, with automatic transmission, air conditioning, and a limited-slip differential available as options. A five-speed, manual transmission model, chassis number '01861' was delivered new to Barcelona, Spain, with an Amaranto Roma, elegant colour it retains today. This example was converted to utilise the more-reliable Weber carburettors induction instead of the original Lucas fuel injection, a common in period modification.

The current owner acquired it in 1996 from a previous owner in Zaragoza. This Sebring, which appears to have never left Spain until now, underwent a restoration in 2021.

1963 Maserati 3500 GTI Sebring Series 1 Carrosserie par la Carrozzeria Vignale Chassis n° AM10101861

  • Livré neuve en Espagne
  • Moteur et châssis à numéros concordants
  • Élégante couleur Amaranto Roma
  • Conversion aux carburateurs Lancée en 1962, la Sebring représentait l'une des dernières évolutions de la mythique 3500GT, un modèle qui avait joué un rôle clé dans la stratégie de Maserati pour se positionner comme constructeur de voitures de route. Basée sur le châssis à empattement court du Spyder et conçue par la Carrozzeria Vignale, la Sebring 2+2 coupé fit ses débuts la même année.

Elle bénéficiait d'équipements de série modernes, tels qu'une boîte de vitesses à cinq rapports, des freins à disque sur les quatre roues et une injection de carburant. Parmi les options proposées figuraient une boîte automatique, la climatisation et un différentiel à glissement limité. Exemplaire à transmission manuelle à cinq vitesses, le châssis '01861', a été livré neuf à Barcelone, en Espagne, avec une teinte Amaranto Roma, élégante couleur qu'il conserve aujourd'hui. Cet exemplaire a été modifié pour adopter des carburateurs Weber, plus fiables, en remplacement de l'injection électronique Lucas d'origine, une modification courante à l'époque.

Le propriétaire actuel l'a acquise en 1996 d'un propriétaire à Saragosse. Cette Sebring qui semble n'avoir jamais quitté l'Espagne jusqu'ici, a bénéficié d'une restauration en 2021.
