Introduced in 1962 as a replacement for the flagship Maserati 3500 GTi, the Maserati Sebring is an elegant expression of mid-20th century Italian design.

It is clearly a luxurious grand touring car with its comfortable and well-appointed 2+2 interior.

Underlying the steel body was an all-new tubular steel frame, which also supported the independent dual wishbone front suspension, semi-elliptical rear leaf springs and four-wheel disc brakes.

The 3500GT’s designer was Giulio Alfieri, creator of the immortal Tipo 60/61 ‘Birdcage’ sports-racer and the man responsible for developing the 250F into a World Championship winner.

More than just a handsome face, the Maserati Sebring has a direct connection with such historic names as Sterling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio, and of course, the famed Florida race track.

The title “Sebring” is referred in tribute to the circuit in Florida where Maserati 450S racing cars scored a major victory.

In the 1950’s, not even Ferrari could touch the workmanship and performance of Maserati. And their GP cars were simply among the best, as Fangio ended his last four career championships with the triumphant Maserati 250F.

On the back of Fangio’s incredible wins, Maserati began leveraging their track successes on road cars, the first being the Maserati 3500 GT, which later became this car, the Maserati Sebring.

The Series I cars are highly prized by collectors for their purity of design.

It is thought that a total of approximately 448 Sebrings were produced, with 348 Series I cars being finished before 1966.

It is interesting to note that with a price tag of £5,116 (tax paid in the UK) the Maserati was some 22% more expensive than the Aston Martin DB5 launched later that same year.

ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC EXAMPLE

This gorgeous Sebring, equipped with the optional and expensive Borrani wire rims, was delivered to its first owner on the 5th of March 1964.

In later years the Sebring, was in the possession of a Swiss private collection until December 2014, when it was discovered and acquired by us.

The current owner acquired the Sebring from us in October 2015 and exported it to Germany.

A keen car collector and a very good friend of us, who owns a Maserati Mille Miglia Veteran Car and various extremely important cars.

The owner is selling because of limited garage space and because has recently acquired from us a third Mille Miglia Veteran Car.

While in the vendor’s care the Sebring has wanted for nothing, as evidenced by numerous bills on file from renowned marque specialists in Germany.

With a few owners and a total of approximately 132’000 Km driven, the Sebring presents itself in an absolute wonderful condition and would certainly be a worthy addition to any Maserati collection.

CONDITION EXTERIOR

This particular example is in a very nice overall condition. The body of the car is very nice with a beautifully Light Blue paint.

During the restoration, the respray has been done very nicely and the car was taken back to bare metal.

The doorfittings and boot/bonnet fitting are excellent.

The chrome on the car like the bumpers and window surroundings are very nice but not as new. One can find some very minor signs of use.

The grille is in excellent order even as the lamps and the surrounding of the air intake on the bonnet.

The air outlets on the front side screens of the car show that this is a series I car and because of the beautiful styling detail, the series I is the most desirable series.

The chrome “Ruote Borrani” spoke rims have a sublime appearance and are in a beautiful condition.

Pirelli tires with Blockley tubes have been also mounted on the Borrani wire wheels.

CONDITION INTERIOR

Careful details make the interior the GT of its time with adequate back seating and a voluminous trunk that could easily swallow a week’s worth of luggage.

The leather on the seats as well as on the tunnel is in as new condition. The carpets are also as new.

All meters are in perfectly working order and the design is fabulous.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE

We’ve been in and out of this car and it looks fabulous, delightful to drive, this car is a wonderful alternative to a Ferrari 250 Series car.

The driving experience of the Maserati reflects the fabulous looks of the car.
The feeling is fantastic and the sound is great.

The steering is very direct and the car can be best described as a real GT.

A car which can be driven on a relaxed way but she gives also enormous fun when used on a racetrack or on a mountain road.

In summary, this Italian classic is ready for a new chapter in its adventure!
