"The ‘i’ that changed everything.”
This is no ordinary 3500 GT. This is a GTi.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Maserati ventured to do something special. The already impressive 3500 GT received an advanced Lucas mechanical fuel-injection system. The “i” stands for Iniezione and gave the Maserati not only a technical advancement, but also a character all of its own.
More direct. More distinctive. And today above all: considerably rarer.
This Maserati dates from April 1962 and was originally delivered to Comm. Ugo Passadore in Italy.
The original chassis, original engine and original gearbox have all been retained. The car comes with a certificate and an extensive photographic record of the restoration.
The car was completely stripped back to bare metal, after which the bodywork and paintwork were rebuilt from the ground up. The suspension, drivetrain and all other mechanical components were also thoroughly overhauled.
The original straight-six engine was completely rebuilt from A to Z. Naturally, the original matching-numbers engine and factory-fitted Lucas fuel-injection system were retained.
The Maserati sits on its characteristic Borrani wheels.
Borranis beneath an Italian GT from this era are like a good espresso after a long drive through the hills of Tuscany. It simply feels right.
A long road winding through the hills of Italy. A sunny morning. The big straight-six slowly coming up to operating temperature. That unmistakable engine sound opening up further and further as the rev counter climbs.
