Lot #146 - 1973 Maserati Bora
This 1973 Maserati Bora 4.7 Coupe is a highly original example for straightforward restoration. Attractive metallic blue with tan leather interior, this highly sought-after Bora is just out of long-term ownership and storage. It comes complete and is very straight. Never restored, be the first to have the privilege to do so. Well worth the minimal effort and with a lot of investment potential.
The highlight of 1971 Geneva Salon was undoubtedly the sensational new Maserati Bora. Named after a wind, the Bora was the work of Giorgetto Giugiaro's ItalDesign, at least as far as its body shell was concerned; the mid-mounted engine was Maserati's familiar four-cam V8 in 4.7-litre form, the five-speed transaxle came from ZF and the all-independent double-wishbone suspension was penned by Giulio Alfieri. One of the first 'new generation' models to appear following Maserati's acquisition by Citron, the Bora used the latter's hydraulic technology to adjust seats and pedals, raise the headlamps and operate the excellent power-assisted brakes. A slippery shape plus 310bhp made for a very fast car - top speed was around 160mph - and the Bora had acceleration and handling to match. A rare Italian thoroughbred, this exotic Maserati supercar is a suburb buy!
