The 13th Maserati Mexico built, completed on 2 November 1966 and authenticated by Maserati Classiche, this early numbers-matching example is one of only 175 fitted with the 290 hp 4.7-litre twin-cam V-8. Originally delivered in Italy and registered in Milan, the car passed through two Italian owners before moving to California, where it underwent a comprehensive bare-metal restoration at Mike Wilson Restorations followed by a full mechanical and cosmetic freshening by Abingdon West. Finished in Opalescent Blue over cognac leather with factory air-conditioning, ZF five-speed gearbox, and original Borrani wire wheels.
