This exceptional Maserati 3200 GT is a genuine one-owner from new example, presented in pale blue. Featuring Maserati’s 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 up front, ‘AK51 SWK’ is fitted with the four-speed automatic for a true Grand Tourer experience. Maserati’s famous boomerang rear lights are the highlight of the exterior features, this 3200 GT is awash with fantastic touches, such as the iconic trident on the C-pillars, wheels, and grille, and the quad exhausts hinting at performance potential. The cabin is trimmed in cream leather upholstery, covering the seats, centre console, and much of the dashboard and doors, though there is contrasting grey leather topping the dash and flowing to the base of the doors.

A low mileage example, ‘AK51 SWK’ comes with 10 months MOT. The cam belt was changed 4,000 miles ago, and the vendor has cherished this Italian thoroughbred. There is no rust reported anywhere, either on the underside or showing in the body panels, and the 3200 GT comes with two keys. An indicated 32,438 miles on the odometer shows that it has been enjoyed, but not extensively, in its 23 years on the road, and the owner rates this Maserati as in exceptional overall condition, with all aspects - including engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, interior, and paint - considered ‘excellent’.

Introduced in 1998, Maserati eschewed the tradition of naming its models after winds, because VW had the rights to the name it wanted, so the 3200 GT was launched. Linking back to the 3500 GT, Maserati’s first GT, the name comes from the 3.2-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, which produced 370hp when new. One of the most striking design touches on the sleek four-seater were the thin, curved ‘boomerang’ rear lights, which were dropped for more conventional clusters when the 3200 GT was replaced with the similar 4200 GT. Available with either manual or automatic transmission, the 3200 GT also saw a Assetto Cross special edition launched in 2001, with just 259 models produced, featuring a special handling package for improved performance. The 3200 GT was produced for four years when replaced by what was an evolution model, the 4200 GT, in 2002.
