This Maserati Mistral Spyder, chassis 657, is one of only 37 examples built with the 4.0-litre twin-cam straight-six engine, making it the rarest and most powerful variant of the model. Delivered in February 1967 in white with a red Connolly leather interior, it spent time in Switzerland during the 1970s before being exported to New Zealand in 1988.
