Mean while the 250F went through the car wash and went from blue back to Maserati Red!

Where and when?

 

8CLT. A horrible car to drive. They made only 2 of them. Totally unsuccessful

 

Late Ghibli as in Biturbo Ghibli of the 90ies? Or the new four door one?

 

Maserati Bora…

One of the new 4 door ones...or at least 2014 to 2018. Would look for an S with just rear wheel drive.

 

From which year is that image?

 

That’s a 1973 Bora.

 

I recognized the car, a nice one from I beleive the Bora or Bora pictures thread. It's aftermarket wheels were being discussed as a part of tire alternatives.

https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/maserati-bora-picture-thread.168047/

Very similar, wheels look the same but not the front bumper or mirrors.

 

I use to own #766, a 1974 model with those wheels. That car still had its original paint and interior therefore I felt that having aftermarket wheels was not appropriate for such an original car. I returned the car to its original wheels and sold the aftermarket. I wonder if those wheels ended up in this car.

Ivan,
I think that these repro BBS RS wheels are 17", hence an odd look because of too thin tires.
Would have been much better with 16" as with the original BBS RS wheels that were made by BBS for the Merak (and possibly for Bora):

Ah but ... the whole point of such am exercise is not about how the rims look. The original Merak rims are quite gorgeous but about goo performance tires for these cars. The 17" size yielded more tires than the 16" would have at the time. If Michelin would just issue XGTs again then original rims would be just great.

 

Sorry, but I meant from what year this image (!) was taken....

 

Hmmm...this threat seems to become hijacked now with modern photos...

 

Another OLD photo from REVS. I think this car was for sale not long ago.

The Ferrari section has an old photos threat that almost every photo is at least 35 years old.

Ahh, it was around 2008, Automezzi Colorado.

 

Well, it would be great if we would stay with the 1930/1950s-70s period in this thread.

 

Yep, was sold about 2 months ago. Great car but it needed restored back to its 1st version.

 

The photo is of a 1973, that’s 70s to me….

 

A Ferrari 355 beside the Bora in 1970s....??? Really?

 

You are totally misunderstanding the point of this thread. It refers to the age of the PHOTOS, not the age of the cars. It is about WHEN a photo was taken.

This thread is about ARCHIVE photos; a photo taken decades ago has a lot more cachet than one taken yesterday whatever the topic. See the more old photos in the vintage Ferrari thread.

for example here are two photos of the same car: the first Bora group 4 AM117-3000. The first photo is in the pits in Modena in 1973, taken by Dominique Drieux then one of Maserati's directors.

that photo belongs here.

The second photo is the exact same car with little me last July in the south of France.

it does NOT belong here because while it shows an old car it is not an old/period photo. Now you get it?

 

No, I don’t get it….The title of this thread is “More Old Maserati Photos”, Not “More Old Photos of Maseratis”…
Here, I fixed it for ya….

It's our conspiracy against you;-)

 

Another OLD Maserati photo. They can be in color or black and white as long as they are OLD photos of Maserati's, OSCA's, Ligier or Cooper Maserati's ect
