About this car

The Merak SS was the more powerful version of Maserati's mid-engined V6 coupe, and this right-hand-drive car is one of around 140 delivered new in the UK. It carries chassis number AM122/A*525* and the plate BPF 966T.

It has covered 28,700 miles from new and has had just two owners. The current owner bought it from the supplying dealer, Bell & Colvill, in 1982. A large history file includes the original handbook, service book, dealership guide and brochure.

The body was restored thoroughly by an established specialist in 1991/1992, with only about 5,000 miles since. McGrath Maserati fitted new valves in 2005 and carried out an engine overhaul in 2015.
