Introduced in 1962, the Sebring was one of the final manifestations of the landmark 3500GT, which had been the linchpin of Maserati's programme to establish itself as a manufacturer of road cars.

Built on the short-wheelbase chassis of the Spyder and likewise styled by Carrozzeria Vignale, the Sebring 2+2 coupé arrived in 1962. By now a five-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, and fuel injection were standard equipment, with automatic transmission, air conditioning, and a limited-slip differential available as options.

This rare right-hand drive Sebring comes with a full file of history dating back to its original purchase in 1964 and onwards to 2008 when it was sold to a collector and stored for the next nine years, emerging in very poor condition. Between 2018 and 2022 a total of £177,000 was spent on works carried out by Haynes Heritage Engineering (part of the famous Haynes Motor Museum). These included extensively repairing all body panels with fresh metal and a total respray in Grigio Newmarket (from original red). The original brown leather interior was retained.

Mechanically, very little was altered, major components such as the engine and gearbox were simply removed and then refitted. Small repairs were made to ensure interior equipment operated correctly, but no major restoration was completed on the mechanical side by the owner's request. Since restoration, the Sebring has been back to Haynes a couple of times for routine maintenance and common repairs such as slave cylinders, alternator replacement and manifold gasket replacement.

All related documentation, invoices and a memory stick recording all details of the rebuild are available. Offered with a V5C document and current MoT, this is an excellent example of the Series I Sebring.
