The Appeal
‘80s classics are now very much coming of age, so what better time than the present to buy into this fabulous executive GT? Developed under Alejandro de Tomaso’s ownership of Maserati, the Biturbo was a major change in direction for the company and remains one of their most notable cars.
This 1986 pre-facelift example has lived in Spain most of its life, so has escaped the dampness and salty roads of Northern Europe. We’re informed that it has had just two owners from new and the 45,055 kilometres displayed on the odometer are believed to be correct. If you’re looking for a smart, original example, this would be a great vehicle to consider.
