EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Gransport Trofeo comes finished in blue, with white racing stripes and various decals, including logos from Pirelli, Audemars Piguet and Pakelo Lubricants.

• The car will be accompanied by a letter from Maserati confirming it was built for the Trofeo race series.

CONDITION

• Its blue paintwork is now in good shape, with a few use-related stone chips on the bumpers, wheel arches, wing mirrors and bonnet.
• As is to be expected given the car’s track use, the alloy wheels features various scratches, scuffs and scrapes, but there is no structural damage to speak of.
• Inside, there is some light wear on the driver’s back support and a few marks on each side of the centre console.
• Some faint scratches and scuffs can also be seen on the dashboard plastics and switchgear controls.
• No electrical issues have been detected.

SERVICE HISTORY
