This Maserati Bora 4.9 litre, which left the factory in February 1977, holds a special place in automotive history. While it now boasts a sleek black finish, it originally donned the vibrant "Giallo" (Yellow) with Salchi code 20Y305, a colour that captured the spirit and boldness of the seventies. This shade hasn't lost its charm over the years, as evidenced by the launch colour of the Maserati Grecale Trofeo. The striking hue can be seen in photos from the 2009 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, where a Bora and a Ghibli stood out in their stunning "Giallo" livery.

The journey of this Bora is documented in the Maserati Classiche records, showing it was initially sold for 16,500 USD to Maserati Automobiles Inc. in Los Angeles. It has since spent its life in the USA, a testament to its enduring allure. Today, the car is awaiting restoration; its engine is not running but capable of turning freely, hinting at the potential for revival. It requires careful restoration, offering a chance to preserve some of its original elements and honour its legacy. Currently housed in Europe, this Bora awaits a new chapter, ready for someone to rekindle its former glory and continue its remarkable story.
