A rare right-hand drive example of the Maserati Bora, one of only 289 produced in 4.7-litre form, bodied by Giugiaro's Ital Design and first shown to the public at the 1971 Geneva Salon. Powered by Maserati's four-cam V8 with a ZF five-speed transaxle and all-independent suspension designed by Giulio Alfieri, it offers a top speed in excess of 160 mph.
