The Appeal
Introduced in 2007, the Maserati Gran Turismo is a Pininfarina-designed, Ferrari-derived piece of pure GT luxury. With its 4.2L V8 engine, developed with Ferrari, the sleek bodywork and all of the mod-cons, it’s little wonder that this car was a mainstay of the legendary brand’s product range all the way up until 2019.
This example, beyond being one of the earlier Turismos, is presented as a great opportunity to take on an authentic Italian legend, and get it restored to top working order.
