I'm a big fan of Maseratis from the '50s and '60s which really were a match for any of their contemporaries and RHD models are really rare but this stunning RHD Sebring II has surfaced at a forthcoming Historics auction on 23rd September 2017.
According to Coys there were only 4 RHD Series II models !
Not in its original colour but looks much better I think than in the original grey. Now in Marrone Rossiccio with a new tan interior, how stunning is this....
More expensive than a DB5 when new, now they are about a third to quarter of their value at £200k.
A series I at RM Sotherby's last night had a similar guide of £200k but failed to sell at £170k. It was LHD
Whoever buys this will be very fortunate.
Hopefully it will stay in the UK being RHD.

Just looked at tomorrow's catalogue , a few withdrawals and a few additions compared to the mini catalogue I got in the post.

The Maserati is still in luckily.

I will try and come along too now.

The rarity and condition of this car resulted in very strong bidding and a sale price of about £270,000 including commission.
About least 50% of cars didn't sell which has become a pattern at classic car auctions this year.
