Cette Maserati Indy a t achete en 1990 par son actuel propritaire, juste avant sa Merak SS, que nous sommes
heureux de prsenter dans cette vacation. Depuis, cette voiture a bnfici de travaux mcaniques, comme la rfection du
moteur et de l'embrayage en 1991, le remplacement des amortisseurs et du pont arrire (par un pont refait) en 2003.
Sur le plan esthtique, la peinture a t refaite en 2009 et, la mme poque, la sellerie et le tableau de bord ont t
compltement restaurs. Il s'agit d'une rare version dote du moteur 4,7 litres, la plupart des Indy tant quipes du 4,2
litres. Elle dispose donc de 290 ch, ce qui lui permet une vitesse de pointe de 260 km/h. Ce noble V8 quatre arbres
conu par Giulio Alfieri tait driv de celui de la Maserati 5000 GT, lui-mme issu de celui de la 450 S. Il quipait galement
la clbre Ghibli. Nous avons not qu'une erreur administrative sur la carte grise indique 094 et non 1094 pour le numro
de srie. Dessine par Vignale, la Maserati Indy prsente l'avantage d'une carrosserie pouvant loger quatre personnes,
avec une vitre arrire incline servant de porte de coffre. De plus, l'exemplaire que nous prsentons est quip d'une rare
climatisation et d'une assistance de direction ZF, qui tait disponible en option. C'est une voiture trs utilisable, qui mle
performances leves, prestige, lgance et, dans ce cas, belle prsentation.
- Beautiful condition
- Power steering, air-conditioning
- 4.7-liter engine, with desirable options
This Maserati Indy was purchased in 1990 by its current owner, just before he bought his Merak SS, which we are
pleased to offer in this auction too. Since then the car benefited from mechanical works, such as repairs to the
engine and the clutch in 1991, the replacement of the shock absorbers and the rear axle (with a remade one) in
2003. Aesthetically, the paint has been re-sprayed in 2009 and, at the same time, the upholstery and the dashboard
were also completely restored. This is a rare version powered by the 4.7-liter engine, most Indy being equipped with
a 4.2 liter. It develops 290bhp, which gives the car a top speed of 260 km/h. This noble V8 with double overhead
camshaft was designed by Giulio Alfieri and was derived from that of the Maserati 5000 GT, which in turn was
derived from the 450 S. This engine was also fitted to the famous Ghibli. We have noted that an administrative
mistake gives 094 instead of 1094 as a serial number on the title. Designed by Vignale, the Maserati Indy has the
advantage of a body that can accommodate four people comfortably, with a rakish fastback rear window that also
doubles as a tailgate. Additionally, the car on offer is equipped with the rare air-conditioning system and the optional
ZF power steering. This very usable car combines high performance, prestige, elegance and, in this case, beautiful
condition.
