1978 MASERATI

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

1978 Maserati Merak SS finished in classic Rosso Maserati with a black interior, an elegant combination that perfectly complements Giorgetto Giugiaro's timeless styling

As an 'SS', it benefits from the more powerful version of the 3.0 V6 on triple Webers producing 220bhp up from the standard car's 190bhp and a revised interior including the Bora dashboard

Formed part of a small private family collection in recent years and has seen only limited use during that period

Presented to a pleasing overall standard and was running at the time of our inspection

Having spent an extended period in storage with little or no recent use, a degree of recommissioning is advised before regular road use

Recorded as the subject of a 'Category C' insurance claim in 2005, with the necessary repairs clearly completed subsequently

An increasingly sought-after 1970s Italian sports car, combining distinctive styling with charismatic V6 performance and offering excellent potential for sympathetic recommissioning and enjoyment
