AM115 1616roadItaly

Engine: 4.7L engine
Colour: 'Blu Sera' (dark blue)

A 1970 Maserati Ghibli 4.7-litre coupe, delivered new through the Maserati dealership in Saint-Cloud near Paris and believed to have remained in France throughout its life. Originally finished in Blu Sera with a black interior, it was subsequently converted from coupe to Spyder configuration at an unknown date, with the cabin retrimmed in beige. Documentary evidence places it on France's west coast in the late 1980s before it moved to Monaco, where it entered the Petitjean collection in 1996.
