AM101 2802roadItaly
Engine
Fuel-injected inline-six with five-speed ZF gearbox and disc brakes
Colour
Dark blue metallic (repainted from original light ruby red)

Chassis 2802 is a late-production Maserati 3500 GTi, completed in July 1963 and first delivered in Italy in February 1964. Equipped from the factory with Lucas fuel injection, all-round disc brakes, and a five-speed ZF gearbox, it retains what appear to be its original engine and Touring coachwork, confirmed by stampings consistent with Maserati Classiche documentation. A technical overhaul was carried out in the early 2010s, and the car has since accumulated several concours awards in Germany.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
