My sister s boyfriend in the mid 70s had one in Blaze with a very dark blue interior. To me as a 15yo it was bloody quick!

With no idea what it was, I approached the car to discover the owner was inside. Not only that, he was happy to chat.
It's a 1955 Maserati Barchetta homage based on a Z3. Homage is my word, not his. The company who converted the Z3 - whose name I've forgotten - built nine, I think he said.
The company now use the Z4 in their current range of conversions, because the Z3 is getting scarce.
It's a Z300S Barchetta by Tribute Automotive from Dorset. It is the 4th of 8 (or 9).It's a 1955 Maserati Barchetta homage based on a Z3. Homage is my word, not his. The company who converted the Z3 - whose name I've forgotten - built nine, I think he said.

The "Tridente" badges on the front and sides say "Omagio A" and "Ispirata Da".
Decent Z3s are getting expensive and the Z4 is a better car although some people say not as good to drive.

As soon as I saw that "Maserati" pic ,I went off to Images to see what a real one should look like .The "Tridente" badges on the front and sides say "Omagio A" and "Ispirata Da".

That white thing is more like a Jaguar E type from the front .

This may lead to some on here getting excited

I like that.Really not my cup of lentils, but if it makes others happy, I m glad to have bought some joy
However I prefer this one that used to go to a local show. The reason is in the boot badge.
What have they used - LS of some sort?

Yup.It was for sale a while ago, but he was asking something crazy like $35k for it so I didn t bother.
Just now in the Village...
And Also for entertainment value, last night I was in my NA MX5, parked outside the local.
Someone I know turned up in his convertible red Fez 458.
10 minutes later a man cross the road to look over my MX5, returning 5 minutes later to take photos.
Ferrari was ignored

A lot of people mistake it for a Jag. The wide angle of the pic has distorted that. However, Tribute started with the front of their D-Type/SS body and "massaged" it into that shape. The Maserati 300S is narrower than a Z3.That white thing is more like a Jaguar E type from the front .
