- Engine
- 4.0L inline-six twin-cam with Lucas mechanical fuel injection
- Colour
- Dark blue metallic
A 1966 Maserati Mistral 4000 Coupé with coachwork by Carrozzeria Frua, chassis AM109/A1 724, representing one of only 454 examples built with the top-specification 4.0-litre twin-cam six-cylinder engine. Delivered new to Verona in May 1966 in silver with blue leather, it passed through a German owner before reaching its current custodian in 1982. The aluminium body was repainted dark blue by a prior owner, while the original light blue interior survives. A comprehensive restoration was carried out in the 1990s, and the matching-numbers engine has since been overhauled.
