A 1966 Maserati Sebring Series II 3.7-litre coupé, chassis AM101/10185, bodied by Vignale to a Giovanni Michelotti design and one of only 247 Series II examples produced. Delivered new to Italy in 'Argento Auteuil', the car subsequently spent several decades in the United States before arriving in the United Kingdom in 1988. Notable for its time in the ownership of Michael Sellers, son of actor Peter Sellers, it later underwent a thorough, factory-correct restoration by European marque specialists. The car retains its matching-numbers engine.
