Chassis AM115S 1183 is one of only 125 Ghibli Spyders produced by Maserati, bodied by Carrozzeria Ghia to a design by Giorgetto Giugiaro and powered by a 4.7-litre twin-cam V8 derived from the 450S racing engine. Completed on 7 July 1970 and shipped new to the United States, the car was later registered in the Netherlands in 1996 before being imported into France through the official Maserati importer in 2000. It retains the factory ZF five-speed gearbox and Borrani wire wheels, and has recently been mechanically recommissioned after a period of static display.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
