Nice Khamsin for sale in Switzerland https://www.zwischengas.com/de/inserat/Maserati-Khamsin-1977/7b028147-fd72-435b-affd-f2477ad01f2d.html I am pretty sure it is #288. If I have the chance I will try to visit the dealer next week.
Hi Roger, thanks for those photos. No the car in the one I posted is most definitely gold. It looks like it just came off the ship, is perhaps still under customs control. The car in the ad you link looks familiar, makes me think of a couple of Swiss cars not seen for a long time. More tomorrow when back with my files.
I believe it is 282 which I had inspected in Lausanne in 2008-2009 at garage Beau Rivage. The dash has added switches and toggles. Radio matches. Different mirror treatment though but people change them sometimes.
I've never used on of those circuit tracers myself but I've watched it being done and if you put it in tone mode I think you could trace the wire from the lamp side which unfortunately means getting behind the dash panel unless that lamp just pops out?
I do not know where they are located. Instead of looking for these devices, which may or may not be on your car, you should spend your energy tracing the wire to identify what is triggering the light. Pop out the light switch that is coming on. There should be two wires on the back. One wire will have 12 volts when the ignition switch is on while the other wire goes to the sensor that is triggering the light. Disconnect the wire that goes to the sensor making a note of the color of the wire. Connect one lead of the wire tracer's pulse generator to this wire and the other lead to ground. Use the probe to follow the wire by listening to the beeps. Between the probe and the wire color you should be able to identify the sensor that causing this light to turn on. Ivan

Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Hello Mr Z! Thanks for that, very interesting. Regarding light blue smooth nose K's in Japan I have one photo, quite old, below with Bora and Countach, No further data. Your photos are obviously from the last few years. Did it say where it was in Japan? Any link? Ps: Ah banzai I have it in fact, it is 138. For sale in 2008 by dealer kjs-at.com in the land of the rising sun.
Nice old picture of a K in Italy just not sure if it is a RHD car or the photo is mirrored and it is a US-car make your choice Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
No I have no photos of Japanese gold K. But this is another gold Khamsin, I think it is #1114, in 2017, with German plates?, 3 photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/8058098@N07/35769014874/
About the dark red car for sale in Switzerland, this could be the same car, at the website of the Racing Garage in Rheineck CH, do not know when the photo was taken: : https://www.racinggarage.ch/assets/images/unbenannt-2000x1475.png
Probably yes, that is the amazing thing with Switzerland: in the middle of nowhere a small dealer or gas station will have world class cars for sale.
Two Khamsins at a meeting (Automezzi) in Colorado in 2018, the yellow Khamsin could be #1046, and could the brown/black Khamsin be #1190? https://www.driven-imagery.com/2018_automezzi_colorado#hb1d41c84
Yes 1114 identical color scheme to my ex car but was automatic, imported US to Germany 1989, one owner in Kiel then from 2003 in a small museum in the south east corner of Germany. Then bought 2011 by German enthusiast who had the bumpers converted. He did not want sell but someone in 2018 made him an offer he could not refuse. He has now bought 070 sold new to Japan, heavily hot rodded with huge wheels and later acquired by a New Zealander from Auckland from whom our German bought it. From what I know it is being fully redone. Certainly a well traveled car!
Yes and yes,1046 is of course the ex car of the late Doug Magnon and his former Riverside museum. The one driven by Jay Leno in his video report. 1190 automatic I saw in Colorado in 2000, the night before the start of Maser Miglia at a club dinner. Unfortunately it did not join us on the fabulous MM to Monterey but he has since done the bumper conversion. He had bought it in January 2000 in Ventura, California, the state where it was sold new.
Nice colour on #1190, almost black, not original? Looking at UK concours photos of 2002 and 2003 on Enrico's website there are some Khamsins that I can't identify . 2002: red US car, including photo of Autovettura and Carrozzeria number : http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri62.htm 2003: RHD car, "the winner of class 2": http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri120.htm ,
Forgot something: the Carrozzeria number of the US car looks like 550130 at first glance, but I think that if you look closer you can see that it is 550180.
Hi AMLC, I am aware of the car and know the owner's name but don't think I have the chassis number. Am not at my computer now. Thanks for the number(s).
If you are talking of the rame metallizato mgj 101y car that is 445 which was owned by an advertising director who until recent years used it as as a travel car between the UK, Paris and Germany. He posted here a bit. He repainted it grayish since he needed to sell and potential buyers did not like rame. Very high chassis number but not last car built, that one is in South Africa.
Yes that's the one I was talking about, I think it looks great on that photo in 2003, but I can imagine that not everyone likes the colour. .
Now I got it. There are two shuttle valves mounted on my car. Normally they are only mounted on Swiss and US cars. These valves have a contact which lights the lamp on the dashboard if there is air in the system or if they are unbalanced, whatever that means. Braking on my car is normal.Possibly one pressure accumulator is a bit down. The shuttle valves are mounted in the engine room on the rear left side and both have heatshields. When I find the reason of the malfunction I will post it.
