From an important Bavarian Sports Cars Collection

- Well preserved from new

- Attractive model, two small rear seats

- SS version with nice performance

- No reserve

Lighter than the Bora on which it was based, the Merak was powered by the 3-litre V6 developed for the Citroën SM and had the advantage of offering two small rear seats. The SS version, introduced in 1975, was more powerful, enabling it to compete with the Lamborghini Urraco and Ferrari Dino.

The Merak SS we are offering for sale left the factory on 9 February 1977 and was first registered on 21 February 1978 in Milan. It was finished in ‘Rosso Fuoco’ (flame red), with black leather upholstery. According to the information available to us, it had four owners in Italy, in the area around Milan, and was last registered in the Mantua area. It was there that its current German owner bought the car in 2015, thus adding a red Maserati to his large collection of cars on this theme. Since then, it has been brought back to Germany to join its peers, but it has hardly been driven and its owner is now selling it for lack of use.

It has never been restored and is in very well preserved condition, with its original black leather interior. It has no obvious faults, but a thorough service should be carried out before it is driven hard. Sold with a cancelled Italian Libretto, it has the benefit of being a car which has kept its original appearance and integrity and is offered in a particularly interesting version.
