The Maserati Mexico, with its dignified lines by Vignale’s Virginio Vairo, airy, luxuriously trimmed cabin, and powerful V-8 engine, epitomizes the notion of the stylish, mid-century Italian grand tourer. A two-door development of the Maserati Quattroporte saloon, it was also technologically advanced as the first production Maserati equipped with four-wheel servo-assisted ventilated disc brakes.
This very early and numbers-matching engine Mexico, chassis 026, is confirmed by correspondence with Maserati Classiche as the 13th example built, completed on 2 November 1966. It is one of approximately 485 produced, of which just 175 were believed equipped with the 290-horsepower 4.7-liter DOHC V-8 engine. Under prior ownership, the car was sent to Mike Wilson’s Restorations of Visalia, California, during which time the car was disassembled, and its numbers-matching engine sent out to be rebuilt.
Chassis 026 then passed to a subsequent owner who entrusted it to noted restorer David Zumstein of Abingdon West Ltd. in Fallbrook, California for what would become a two-year, comprehensive mechanical and cosmetic freshening, including retrimming the interior in supple cognac leather and refinishing the exterior in the handsome, Jaguar-sourced color of Opalescent Blue metallic.
Desirably specified with factory air conditioning, power windows, and a ZF five-speed manual transmission, this Mexico is further equipped with a Becker Europa AM/FM stereo, and Borrani wire wheels shod in Pirelli P4000 tires. Scores of restoration invoices and correspondence with Maserati Classiche confirming it to retain its original 4.7-litre engine complete the sale.
Featuring a thorough sorting and confirmed authenticity, this Maserati Mexico 4.7-liter Coupe remains ideally suited to the task for which it was designed: Luxurious, spirited drives of any duration.
