    You're not causing any problem at all so don't worry.
    Walter has an obsession about chassis numbers, always has.
    I think the doctors must have forgotten to write his down during childbirth ... ;)

    He wants everyone to help with his registry and that's fine.

    This one is easily identified as long as you can open a book and are a member of MCI.
    You are a member right Walter?

    I did provide it for the other rather rare early racing Maserati I photographed at the Museum.[/QUOTE]Its very simple - when you want something to be discussed that has been mentioned in the MCI-circles etc.before - go ahead with that but don`t expect that the whole globe has followed that discussion etc. there.

    We are here on the FChat-forum and that has nothing to do with MCI.

    No ....I am not a member of that club and I'm pretty sure that there are many members of FChat who also do not belong to MCI..

    The quoting formatting has gotten pretty messed up in these posts.

    I can't believe you're not even an honorary member of MCI?

    Jan, this Sebring was offerred for sale by Fantasy Junction in California in June of 2010. It has since sold and I don't know what the sale price was. You might want to contact them to see where it went.

    I don't want to get into a pissing match between Walter and Bob because I agree with both. Not having a VIN should not keep people from posting photos of interesting Maseratis, but also having a VIN establishes where in the production cycle the said vehicle lies.
    I published an article in a recent issue of MIE/MCI( or whatever they call it), documenting changes in the Sebring I during it's production cycle and there were many. Knowing the VIN or the body number, will help in identifying originality, although the only thing for certain on a vintage Maserati is that nothing is for certain. As most of you know VIN numbers and body numbers are not always in sequence.
    Now for the Maserati in question. The article in MCI states that it is a 1963 and that the VIN is 101.153 and the body number is #32. The VIN is not stated correctly and I'm guessing that it is AM101.0153?. Since the body number is 32, it was probably built in 1962 and it has the features of an early body.
    I used to own AM101.01533, in addition to other Sebring I's and know them fairly well. I would guess that the VIN of this Sebring is AM101.01531, but it's only a guess. The owner would have to be contacted to verify it.

    I was just trying to get Walter to open a book about Maserati's which he didn't write ... LOL.

    It's not a pissing contest Larry. Walters a much bigger "whiz" at this than I am. Just some good natured ribbing that's been going on for over ten years now. :)

    Thanks for posting the number. Now Walter can sleep at nights.

    One of the most beautiful automobiles ever.
    But when black or very dark blue-in my opinion.
    Kind regards,
    Jan
    PS. Sorry no VIN or name of photographer.

    I like these older cars in a deep solid blue with a dark red interior it's just a stunning color combo IMHO.
