2 Previous Owners, This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction 26th February on Thursday the 26th of February. , Background;Alejandro de Tomaso had a bold vision for Maserati when he acquired the ailing manufacturer in 1976, with a strategy focussing on a more affordable sports car range called Biturbo. As implied, the Biturbo had a twinturbocharged V6 engine of Maserati's own design, and in 1984 Zagato was commissioned to develop a Spyder variant. The wheelbase was shortened by some 114mm to create a strict twoseater with compact proportions, and with a manual transmission and endless torque from the world's first production twin turbocharged engine, the Spyder lived up to the famous trident badge. Today, the Biturbo Spyder is a tasteful under the radar alternative for those wanting a high performance modern classic roadster.The Car;Finished in Maserati Rosso Red with Beige Nuvalato hide piped in red, this striking 1988 Biturbo Zagato Spyder has covered only 42,827 miles from new supported by its service history and a selection of previous MOT certificates.The car has had just two former keepers, the last of whom stored the vehicle for approximately ten years. Prior to storage, significant works were carried out by marque specialists, Zagato Lancia, with accompanying bills and invoices included within the history file. Also retained is the original purchase receipt, detailing the options and extras specified when new.More recently, the car has been recommissioned in house which has included a full service and cambelt replacement, a new battery, fresh fuel, replacement fuel lines and associated works to return the car to running condition. It will be supplied with a fresh MOT upon sale. With only two years remaining until it qualifies for historic vehicle status, the car will become both tax and MOT exempt, and it is ULEZ exempt.The Biturbo Spyder is a quick, stylish and very affordable Latin 'junior' supercar that will, with proper maintenance, provide many years of reliable and immensely rewarding driving and you are unlikely to park next to another one..Location: LeicestershireSeller: TradePhotos: Professional
