1972 FIAT 695 SS ABARTH EVOCATION LHD

Stunningly finished in purple and white and has only covered 3950 miles since the conversion and restoration whilst travelling around Italy visiting various shows, photo sessions and doing advertising work. It also won many awards on its travels for the superb condition and artistic unique paintwork. It was recently imported from Italy and the UK taxes are paid. It has a UK MoT and V5 and the new registration for the UK is PJU 869K. We are led to believe that the same owner had the car from new, a total of 44 years. He was il Signor Cocullo who resided in L'Aquila, Italy. We are also informed that he spent several years transforming his 1972 Fiat 500L into the 695 SS Abarth version that you see today. We estimate that the conversion to its present standard with its fabulous paintwork would cost in excess of £30k. You will notice from the images that many of the parts used are genuine Abarth 695 parts. The rear seats of the car have been removed to accommodate the fabulous stereo system which is a Blaupunkt GTA480 stereo unit with infinity 10 subs with real gold wiring creating an astonishing sound. The vehicle has a very special paint finish, many genuine Abarth parts including original Abarth 13 x5 alloy wheels and a special transparent sunshine roof. The many other features include: special hand made bumpers, led lighting, raised rear engine lid, sports exhaust system, outside bonnet, catches, 695 and Abarth badges, door mirrors, Abarth door handles/switches/steering wheel, plus UK and Euro lights. The folder includes HPi certificate, current MoT, copy of Italian title and paperwork, photo albums and 94 images of the car from its original state to the standard it is today. The images include a photo of the 70-year-old owner who converted and carried out the work. Also included is a CD with further images and a document holder. We have never seen a closer evocation to the marque or a vehicle with such a detailed restoration. It is thrilling to drive and an absolute head-turner. Offered at a fraction of its cost

1979 MASERATI MERAK SS

Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Maserati Merak was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1972. Sharing much with the more powerful, more luxurious, 4.7-litre V8 Maserati Bora released the previous year, the Bora Junior was aimed very much at the Lamborghini Urraco / Ferrari 308/GT4 market. Virtually identical to the Maserati Bora from the nose to the B-pillars, the Maserati Merak used an all-steel monocoque and was powered by a remarkably compact, mid-mounted, 3.0-litre 12-valve, DOHC V6 engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox-transaxle unit that allowed rear seats albeit very small rear seats to be accommodated.

In March 1975, the Maserati Merak SS was introduced at the Geneva Motor show, this evolution model going into production the following year. The new model was 50 kg lighter and 30 bhp more powerful, thanks to the use of larger Weber 44DCNF carburettors and a higher compression ratio, and brought a variety of mechanical improvements and styling changes.

Produced between 1972 and 1983, 1,850 Maserati Meraks were produced, 970 of them being the Maserati Merak SS, of which 592 share the same EU, square dashboard specification as our car. 

A lovely, very original, low-mileage 2+2 sports coupé that's in superb condition. Finished in Rosso Red with a black leather interior, the car has been part of a private collection and seen little use over the last thirty years. With a mileage of just under 43,000 miles, the car comes complete with a recent certificate of authenticity from Maserati Classiche.

This is a left-hand drive, EU-specification Maserati Merak SS, with a square dashboard; Imported by Auto-König of Munich, the car was sold and delivered to Herr Peter Achter on 25 July 1979. In the mid-eighties, the car was sold to a collector in Austria; it remaining in his collection, largely unused, for the next thirty years. 

In superb condition for an unrestored car, we've carried out a full service and recommissioned it; overhauling the hydraulic system, rebuilding the rear brake calipers, auditing the electrical system and registering it in the UK.

If you'd like more information or would like to arrange a visit to discuss its possible future with you, please contact us.
