Restoration being undertaken. Manufactured in March 1969 for a Mr Michael S Binns who ordered it through Maserati Concessionaires London. Interior colour was white connolly leather, exterior paint Verdi Bosco (wood green). There is a massive gap in its history from when Mr Binns sold it to 1980 which I understand is when DVLA computerised their records, details I have are:
Mr Keith Alan of Birmingham Jan 1980 – still Green!
Mr John Britton of Sparkhill, January 1980 to July 1986
Olton Business Services of Alton March 1983 – Now Red
Mr Andreas Ove Ugland of Egham, July 1986 to October 1994
Mr John Bernard Ugland of Egham, October 1994 to April 2003

One of the best threads on the internet on this cars restoration

Was in Sweden 1977. For Sale The Gallery Brummen
This is an “early” series Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Coupe of the year 1969. So still with the old type steering wheel and the tumble switches in the dashboard. Original European version with only 105000 km from new! Exceptional good example with beautiful original red leather interior and wonderful patina. Bodywork very solid, straight, and with perfect panel fits. Technically very well in order, therefore also great driving and working. AC, power steering and tinted glass. Features her original and so “Matching Numbers” engine. Carried out with a perfectly working automatic gearbox, very rare!

Here’s the car on the gallery’s website

The first official car (#1001) was in 1998 with John Ferro in CT/USA
We are proud to announce that this striking 1968 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Spyder Prototype will take taking center stage when RM makes its triumphant return to California, August 14-15 2015, for our flagship Monterey auction.
Arguably the most significant Maserati Ghibli Spyder in existence, RM Sotheby’s will offer chassis AM115/S 1001 at its Pebble Beach auction on 14-15 August, the first example of this late 1960s convertible ever shown to the public. Featuring styling by Ghia and offered in its original ‘Giallo’ yellow, with contrasting ‘Testa di Moro’ brown interior, the prototype model also carries numerous subtle differences from the later production model, including a longer boot lid and slight recesses in the door panels.
Meeting its first owner in Italy in 1969, the Spyder was imported to the United States in 1975. In 1986, showing 41,000 miles on the clock, it was ‘properly stored’ for nearly 30 years before being bought by its current owner, who arranged for a slight re-commissioning in order to bring chassis 1001 back to life.

Here’s the auction description

For sale 2020

Sold at the 1997 at the Christie’s Geneva auction. The car was practically new, as it had less than 6000 km on it, and it still smelled like a new car! One owner at this time. It sold for 49 000 Swiss francs.

For sale 2012. The only Ghibli Spyder ( #AM115/S*1017* ) brought to France by the official French Maserati importer, Thépenier. A 4.7-litre European specification model from new, fitted with the desirable ZF five-speed manual gearbox, the car was delivered in March of that year finished in Celeste Chiaro (106 A 20) with black leather interior (PAC 1560), without a hardtop and was first owned and registered in August by Mr André Langlois.
Its second owner, Mr Michel Poncin, kept the Maserati from 1976 to 2012.
In 1979 the car underwent a complete mechanical refurbishment at Maserati Milano (Garage Basso). Showing 65,000 kilometres at that time, the odometer was zeroed and currently displays a total of 20,000, making the distance travelled from new circa 85,000 kilometres.
A measure of its enduring quality is the fact that the Maserati was invited to the prestigious Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ Concours d’Élegance at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed where it was much admired. French registered, the car is offered with sundry invoices relating to the late-1970s restoration.
