Previously owned by an employee at specialist Bill McGrath, this RHD example retains its original and rare (it is rumoured only 50 such cars were built) Borg Warner automatic transmission. Featured in a 1982 issue of Classic Cars, it was subsequently sold to a valued customer who commenced a photographic restoration. Now described as being “fully matching numbers and complete”, a recent inspection was undertaken at Bill McGrath’s and a list of recent jobs done is available. Said to display excellent oil pressure, the car had been in the same ownership from 1982 up to its acquisition by the vendor in January 2014. Riding on aluminium Campagnolo wheels and attractively finished in blue with “complete and original” black interior and “excellent” chassis, this stylish and highly capable Grand Tourer recently completed a near 1,000 mile trip to Classic Le Mans which included 7 laps of the historic circuit and is now ready to be enjoyed.

Here’s the car on Ivan’s website

This gorgeous 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder with factory 5-speed is a matching numbers example and one of just 125 factory original Ghibli Spyders produced. Equipped with Borrani wire wheels, original 5-speed, and power steering. A cosmetic restoration was performed in 2015 consisting of new Argento Auteuil paint, deep red leather interior by Bridge of Weir Leather Co, Wilton carpeting, and correct leather on dash fascia. New black soft-top canvas convertible top. During this time, all aluminum and chrome trim was replated and polished as well. Body panels have excellent fit and glass is original and in very good condition. Optional chrome wire wheels are present and excellent, with new Michelin XWX tires. Convertible top is nicely done, fits well and in good condition. The Ghibli runs and drives superb. The 4.7 liter engine sounds and runs excellent with very good compression and oil pressure. This is a late series Ghibli with the desirable 42DCNF Webers and late style brake booster and interior layout. The ZF 5-speed gearbox shifts well with clutch and synchros working properly. The suspension has new bushings and the brakes pads have plenty of life. The optional power steering is a must on the Ghibli and makes it much easier to drive at low speeds. Overall the engine compartment is detailed and excellent with proper Jubilee stainless steel hose clamps used throughout. These cars have become almost impossible to find and this particular example has clearly been lovingly maintained.
The Ghibli spyder is widely considered to be one of the finest open grand touring cars Maserati has ever constructed, fashioned in the great Italian tradition of poise, elegance, and power. A vehicle which possesses flash and dash in equal measure, with beauty, rarity and timeless appeal. This 1970 Maserati Ghibli Spyder with factory 5-speed represents an excellent opportunity to own one of the finest, most beautiful road cars of the period.

VIN AM1151124
Paint is Celeste (light metallic blue)
$110,000 USD

Originally delivered new in Italy there are some early records with the car.
I purchased this car and a Maserati 3500GT from a fellow in Belgium after it being parked by its second owner for over 15 years in dry storage. The car was started up regularly and actually saw the light of day rarely but not used often.
The body does need a full repaint between dings and corrosion. The rockers should be replaced, floors are solid overall but should be cleaned and sealed.
At this time the car is sitting in a friends warehouse in Belgium where it can be seen if anyone would like.
Please feel free to call or DM me.
