  • Provenance:
    From the Estate of The Late Paul Moxham
  • Notes:
    The Ghibli, named after the desert wind, was produced by the great Modenese marque, Maserati from 1967 to 1972. Production total of all variants of the Ghibli across the five years came to just 1,280 units. Engineer, Giulio Alfieri, who would later join Lamborghini in 1975, began work for Maserati in 1953. Alfieri was responsible for some of the greatest engines ever made including that of the wonderful Maserati 250F racing car and work on the Maserati Birdcage. His engine was combined with the wonderful lines of the Ghibli body penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The Ghibli, a Gran Turismo sports car, in Maserati tradition had a tubular chassis. Another feature true to the marque’s competition heritage was its dry sump lubrication system which enabled Giugiaro to lower the line of the bonnet which featured two striking air vents. More aggressive lines were evident than its predecessor the Mexico, and indeed than many of its contemporaries from other manufacturers, it was also elegant and sophisticated. Chassis number 1146 was sold new to Belgium on 11th June 1969 as a 4.7 and was originally delivered in Verde Gamma green paintwork with senape (mustard trim). Paul Moxham had this car fully restored which was completed after his death in 2016. Included in the restoration process was the rebuild of the replacement period Quattroporte S1 4.9 litre engine (AM 107 /49 1702) by Bryan Schuster of Bryant Engineering. The car presents in resplendent red with tan leather interior. Powerful, fast, efficient and comfortable the Ghibli is one of the greatest GT cars of its time. This vehicle will be sold unregistered.
