A first-series Maserati Sebring 2+2 coupé with Vignale coachwork, completed in July 1963 and originally delivered to Brussels. One of 348 first-series examples built, it retains its original Oro Longchamps over black leather colour scheme and original Lucas fuel injection. At some point the car was exported to the United States before returning to Europe, latterly residing in the Netherlands. A professional restoration was carried out at an undetermined date, covering bodywork and interior, with the engine apparently overhauled. Sold without paperwork or registration documents.

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.

“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.
