This handsome righthand drive, matching numbers Biturbo is thought to be one of just 11 examples remaining, and is presented in fine order. Its strident red bodywork is matched to plush cream-coloured hide upholstery that’s highlighted by pale veneer trim on the facia, doors and console, and complemented by a black hood and silver alloy wheels. The vendor, the Maserati’s seventh keeper, acquired the car from a dealer in April last year, and he currently considers its twin-turbo V6 engine, automatic transmission, convertible bodywork, paintwork and upholstery to all be in ‘excellent’ condition, and confirms that the hood is in good working order. He informs us that the Biturbo was last serviced in April 2020, and is now offering this rare Italian beauty complete with Pioneer stereo unit, full service history, owner’s book pack, a large selection of bills and receipts, and a current MOT certificate valid to June 14 next year.
The Biturbo was a family of executive grand touring cars produced by Maserati between 1981 and 1994 – the architecture of the model also served as the basis of all the company’s offerings between 1981 and 1987, including the Shamal and Ghibli II. The layout of the Biturbo was relatively conventional, with the engine and gearbox mounted up front and driving the rear wheels and its unibody constructed from steel. The 90-degree V6 powerplant was the first production unit to feature a pair of turbos and was made in a variety of capacities from 1996 to 2790cc – the latter version, as fitted to the sale car, had an output of some 225bhp. The convertible version of the Biturbo was lunched at the 1985 Turin Motor Show and was designed and assembled by Zagato in Milan.
In summary:
- One of the few remaining righthand drive examples
- Seven keepers and a documented 91,910 miles from new
- Comes complete with full service history and a current MOT
