- Yellow ('Giallo'), originally silver ('Argento Indianapolis')
A 1972 Maserati Bora with the 4.7-litre V8 engine, one of 289 so equipped, bodied by Giugiaro and originally finished in Argento Indianapolis over a Nero leather interior. Delivered new through French dealer Thépenier and first registered in Paris in October 1972, the car passed through several French owners before spending over two decades with one Parisian custodian. A later repaint to Giallo preceded entry into an Italian private collection, and the car subsequently sold at auction in 2014 before reaching its current owner.
