There were 2 prototypes and 250 production examples. All of these Maseratis were completed in a relatively long production run that began in March of 1959 and ended in June of 1964. T The original order for this Maserati came from Hoffman Motors Corporation located at 9130 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California. This was one of eight similar Vignale Spyders painted "Bianco Le Touquet" (White - Max Meyer Code 13.470) with a Black Full Connolly Leather (Code PAC.1560 interior. After arrival in our workshop in early August of 2017, AM101.1449 was inspected and then began a thorough disassembly in order to strip and repaint the body back to the original special order white exterior with a correct black leather interior. All of the original assembly and sales records were acquired from the Maserati Factory and they are being utilized to bring the car as close as possible back to the original delivery configuration. During the disassembly of the vehicle, the original and very rare Vignale Body Tag was located. As expected it was stamped "233." In addition to being stamped with the original body number, the mounting holes for the tag also showed the original exterior paint of the vehicle was white which matches the Maserati internal records. The full body number 233 and the shorted number "33" are stamped or written on nearly every part of the car that can be removed. In addition to the stripping, repainting, re-trimming of this vehicle, all of the chrome and bright work has been completely restored and new Boranni wire wheels fitted. Per the Maserati records, this vehicle is now back to the original rare color combination of "Bianco Le Touquet" (White) with an all new and correct black full Connolly leather interior. A complete and comprehensive set of services, safety checks and additional refurbishment and attention to the vehicle's cosmetics has now been completed. Interested buyers are welcome to contact me and I will be happy to assist in arranging for inspections and test-drives. Kind regards and my thanks always,
