An opportunity to purchase an important Maserati with period history.  

Maserati has confirmed that on November 7. 1961 they delivered a black 3500GT to one of the preeminent Italian race teams. Scuderia Serenissima.  It is believed that the car was used by the team for road transportation to and from events during the busy 1962 season.   

The car on offer is that very car.  Maserati 3500GT chassis AM101. 1902This car represents an opportunity to own and restore a car that was there during the great battles of the early 1960's.  


History:  In 1961 Count Volpi de Misurata (aged 24 yrs) established Scuderia Serenissima. Through the 1960s the team raced Ferrari's. Maserati. nbsp;Lotus. DeTomaso and others. In the 1961 season they raced LeMans. nbsp;Nurburgring. Targa Florio. Monaco. Spa Francorchamps. Reims. Monaco.  A busy year! The joys of being young. talented and wealthy.


  At about this time the Ferrari 250 Breadvan (2819GT) was being finished by Giotto Bizzarrini for use by Serenissima in the 1962 season along side their Maserati Birdcage (63. 004).

 


This car was there. Driven by the best. To and from the best tracks in Europe and England. If only it could talk. what tales it would tell!
   Little is known of the car after it left Serenissima until it turned up in California in1977. It remained in the same family ownership from 1977 to 2016.
