I remember seeing that car on ebay, I don't recall any mention of it being a Savali car though, had I known I'd have been after it too! Looks lovely, great find, hope the 4x4 system is ok, finding parts for it is a nightmare. Any plans for wheels? A set of 17" Zender Milanos would look beautiful!
Yes correct Savali did quite a lot of stuff for 33s as well as another Dutch company called Madeno Racing. The Savali bodykits and interiors were certainly "interesting". I know the yellow car, unfortunately it was crashed some time ago, I'm not sure if it was ever repaired.

Benetton style interior, an acquired taste:

Although they were badged as a 2.0 only the first few cars actually had a 2 litre Boxer engine, unfortunately it transpired that the cylinder walls were severely weakend by boring the motor out to 2 litres and a number of them failed. Subsequent cars were 1.8 litre.
Here are a couple of pictures of mine, not great quality but you'll get the idea. Its basically a new car, every single component on the car has been dismantled and everything is either new or refurbished. I've had a complete nightmare with the car mostly down to incompetent bodyshops screwing it up, followed by 2 lawsuits. A complete glass out respray that was so bad the car had to dismantled to a bare bodyshell and chemically stripped and re-painted again. Unfortunately this didn't work out too well and was followed by more visits to the bodyshop, I started the restoration 6 years ago and yet again its in the bodyshop at the moment and has been there for 13 months
. It does run and drive and I did get 5 days use out of it last year before it had to return for its 4th visit to a bodyshop. It has a number of engine modifications: bored out to 1830cc with forged JE pistons, special Savali wheels that were imported from Holland, Savali lightened flywheel and camshafts plus lots of other goodies, too much to list here.

Unfortunately there isn't a Maserati equivalent of Eper as such, this site is as close as it gets but won't be much use to you as it only covers later models, Ghibli onwards. You need to apply for an account but as far as I know its not limited to trade use:
