It’s not been raced since at least 2011. Seat, harness, extinguisher and bag tank will need replacing. That’s probably £2K. You’ll want an HTP for it, that’s another £1k assuming it’s in the correct spec still. Then you’ve got the time and mileage limited stuff and/or crack testing. Would then fit into maybe one of the Peter Auto series or you could just club race it.

€50-60k I’d guess. Maybe less if it’s not run at all recently. The last GT4 sat for ages but at least it is a GT4 so you can use it.

Nice colour scheme though.

I’ve asked the question.
Probably a little more than when it sold via online auction earlier this year…

I would expect it to be significantly more than €60k.
This is a single-make Trofeo car that sold for €85k https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2005-maserati-gransport-trofeo-race-car

The red car is very similar but different, there’s a Nurburgring and Evo Magazine history with it, as well as storied drivers. So I would expect - not necessarily agree - that it would be €More.

There is also this for sale via Autoluce, which currently occupies a unique place in Maserati history - at least until the the GT2 MC20s are launched, anyway. https://www.autoluce.com/portfolio/maserati-gran-sport-laboratorio/
Also stretches the definition of ‘last official Maserati racing car’ a little but I guess it means factory entered.


Look around the site a little further though https://www.autoluce.com/portfolio/alfa-romeo-155-v6-ti-dtm/

Much as I love the GranSport I’ve been watching Francois Delecour twang a rally prepped Vantage around France and it gives me a trouser sneeze.
Then again didn’t someone enter a GranSport Trofeo into the Targa Tasmania and, er, exit via a tree?

Yes, yes and yes again.
I’ve been thinking about interviewing Ulrich Bez; though Aston Martin catapulted him into almost a petrolhead household name, his influence on BMW and consequently on Porsche is understated.
Be a good excuse to drive a Z1, 993 Carrera and V8 Vantage together…
