Unveiled directly from the esteemed factory in Modena to its first owner, Mr Roberto Cantini in Milan, this Maserati 3500 GT embodies the luxury and performance of its era and holds a unique place in automotive history.

The engine, bearing the early-type external oil pump, is complemented by a ZF S 4/17 transmission, ensuring an exhilarating and smooth driving experience.

The exterior, originally presented in the elegant “Grigio topo” paint, and the interior, adorned with “Pelle Rossa” red leather and “Grigio Scuro” dark grey carpets, speak volumes of the car’s luxurious and timeless appeal. The car’s intricate French Jaeger instruments in the dashboard, mentioned in the 1958 test sheet, add a touch of sophistication and rarity, highlighting the bespoke nature of this automotive jewel.
