The Maserati Merak, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, was largely derived from the Bora and powered by a tuned version of the Citroen SM V-6 engine. A total of 1639 examples were built, including approximately 970 in S form.
This particular example was ordered by Delena Joyce Jones on April 27, 1976, in Argento Metallizzato (Silver Metallic) with options including a Bora-type grille, air-conditioning, Italian EE tourist plates, a tool kit, and accessories. Blue velvet upholstery was specified, however it was delivered on June 1, 1976, to Mrs. Jones in Tanneron, France, with blue Connolly leather and a Blaupunkt radio.
The current paint scheme was applied by the car's second caretaker, who acquired it in 1988. Recently the car was given an engine-out service. The 2965cc dual overhead cam aluminum V-6 engine offers 220 horsepower and is mated to a five-speed ZF manual transmission.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2016
