• Delivered new in Italy
• Present ownership since 2017
• Professionally restored during the present ownership
• Austrian registration document
According to the build sheet supplied by the Maserati factory, this beautiful and very early Series II Sebring (body number '4') left the works in Modena on 19th November 1964 and was delivered to its first owner, S.A.I.E. of Piazza Adriano, 11 in Turin. The colour specified was giallo (yellow) with a black leather interior, and the car came complete with a fifth (spare) wheel and a tool kit, as per the original order form. It is believed that this is the only Sebring which has left the factory in yellow, a striking yet elegant colour for this car.
Since 2017 the Maserati has formed part of the collection belonging to the Austrian owner, who commissioned the well respected Austrian coachbuilder Bernhard Fleischhacker to undertake a comprehensive rebuild. Approximately 2,500 hours were spent on the restoration, during which the car was stripped back to bare metal, removing the non-original red paint. The body was then repaired where necessary and repainted in the original colour of giallo by the experienced craftsmen at Sergio Guerra's works in Lugo near Ravenna, Italy. The interior likewise was renewed with a strict emphasis on originality: the seats were stripped, freshly re-stuffed, and then re-trimmed using the original leather. In addition, the dashboard was removed and restored. On the mechanical side: the engine was dismantled and rebuilt with new pistons, bearings, etc. The restoration process is documented in a book illustrated with numerous photographs (perusal recommended).
Beautifully presented, the car is offered with a Maserati Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its matching-numbers engine and chassis, as well as certified copies of the final test data sheet and internal factory order form. The Sebring is currently registered in Austria and has a valid Austrian roadworthiness certificate.

Selon le dossier de montage communiqué par l'usine Maserati, cette magnifique Sebring Série II d'entre les premières (carrosserie n° 4) est sortie de l'usine de Modène le 19 novembre 1964 pour être livrée à son premier propriétaire, la S.A.I.E. du 11, Piazza Adriano, à Turin. Elle avait été commandée de couleur giallo (jaune) avec un intérieur en cuir noir et, selon le bon de commande, avec une roue de secours homogène et une trousse à outils. On pense que c'est la seule Sebring sortie d'usine en jaune, une couleur éblouissante mais qui lui allait bien.
Depuis 2017, cette Maserati fait partie de la collection d'un Autrichien, qui a chargé le carrossier autrichien bien connu Bernhard Fleischhacker de la restaurer en totalité. Il consacra à cette tâche environ 2 500 heures, au cours desquelles la voiture fut mise à nu et débarrassée d'une peinture rouge qui n'était pas d'origine. Sa carrosserie fut réparée là où il le fallait et elle fut repeinte dans son giallo d'origine par les très expérimentés compagnons de l'atelier de Sergio Guerra, à Lugo, près de Ravenne (Italie). De même, son intérieur fut refait dans le strict respect de l'original : sièges dégarnis, dotés d'un rembourrage nouveau puis regarnis avec le cuir d'origine. Son tableau de bord fut de son côté déposé et remis en état et, pour ce qui est de la mécanique, son moteur fut démonté et refait avec des pistons, coussinets, etc. nouveaux. L'ensemble de cette restauration fait l'objet d'un livret, illustré de nombreuses photos, dont un examen approfondi est recommandé.
D'un aspect magnifique, cette Sebring est proposée avec son certificat Maserati d'authenticité, qui confirme que son moteur et son châssis présentent des numéros concordants, ainsi que des copies certifiées des relevés d'essais finaux et du dossier de montage de l'usine. Elle est en ce moment immatriculée en Autriche et dispose d'un contrôle technique autrichien en cours de validité.
Saleroom notices
Please note that it has come to our attention that the stamping of the engine number is not a Maserati stamping. Further research revealed that the internal engine number 2176 refers to a Maserati Sebring engine from a first series car, therefore the car is not a matching numbers example. Veuillez noter qu'il a été porté à notre attention que la frappe du numéro de moteur n'est pas une frappe Maserati. Des recherches plus approfondies ont révélé que le numéro de moteur interne 2176 fait référence à un moteur Maserati Sebring provenant d'une voiture de la première série, et que la voiture n'est donc pas un exemple à numéros concordants.
