1954 Siata 300bc 1100 Spider/roadster/cabriolet/convertible on 2040-cars
Walnut Creek, California, United States
|
This is currently a tired old racing car that has suffered major crash damage following repairs done after at least one roll-over accident in the 1950's. I've wished to do the repairs on my own but have not made the time to do them in light of the fact that we have many other similar projects and some similar cars that we enjoy. This Siata requires chassis repairs that will include some re-construction at the front. I am prepared to do the chassis repairs during the next three months. The body requires that a portion of the nose be made new as the area in front of the centerline of the front suspension was cut off and discarded by 1961. A grille has to be made as well. Headlamps (partially Fiat 500) need to be acquired and a few parts made to fit them. The first photo shows the car when almost new with its first owner. Other photos show the car before some work that has been done already. The parts are part of the selection from which the car might be completed. There are many parts not shown and there are some parts shown that will be directed to other projects. The car will be delivered as complete a package as possible aside from the acknowledged parts that are missing. Fortunately, the windscreen was seemingly off the car during the car's roll-over and it is intact and in good shape, as are the top-bows for the tattered convertible top. Despite the above-stated mileage of 99,999 (an eBay requirement) the car has unknown mileage as there is no odometer. Many earlier versions of the 300BC never had an odometer! Engine supplied will be a Fiat 1100/103 of either 1089cc (as original) or 1221cc (later option from Fiat) and will newly made intake and exhaust manifolds. Sample photos will be supplied in case you wish to make it to appear as "original" as possible. The transmission is a Fiat 1100/103 "sport" version which has ratios that are virtually identical to those used most commonly by Siata in these cars. The front suspension has the correct Borrani hubs and the earlier Fiat 1100E derived brakes, as original. These parts were not part of the car as acquired and are probably not the original parts from this car. The brakes will need to be gone through. The rear end was not with the car when acquired and this has to be built up as Siata would have done. The majority of the parts to do that are included with the car but this is one area where a slight revision for strength may be logical. This will be discussed and the appropriate parts supplied as per your wishes. Four Borrani wheels are included for the road but the package is without a spare. The chassis repairs required will be completed before delivery, slated for end of March (2014) or at another time to be agreed upon. Body repairs are optional at added cost. Again, mechanical options are to be agreed upon after consultation but a complete mechanical package will be supplied. Price is considered to be $150,000 for the repaired chassis, rolling on its wheels. Reserve price is set at $140,000 as I have a near offer already. Since a very incomplete body without identity is currently selling on eBay for something "north" of $90,000, it seems time to part with this project that has been in the family since about 1965. We have two very nice similar (albeit unique) examples already and this alone allows me to consider selling this project. If you wish for the body to be repaired and be essentially ready for primer and paint, then the price will climb to the buy-it-now price of $180,000 ... with additional work remaining to be done elsewhere on the car. In order to own this car in a rolling state (after a bit of a wait for the work to be completed), you need only be the first to make a bid of $175,000. Please send me an email at that same time so that I will know to check and conclude the auction. At that point the auction will be terminated, regardless of any time remaining until its scheduled conclusion. Since I have already some interest in this Siata, I reserve the right to withdraw from this eBay offering at any time and conclude a sale on my own. Questions? email me at [iicarjohnATgmail] Thank you for your interest! John de Boer - The Italian Car Registry My father and I raced ST433BC and ST434BC quite a lot during the 1970's and 1980's and found them to be wonderful little giant-killers. Spend some time with one and you'll learn to dance on the edge of control with a smile on your face. These 1100 powered cars have some real "grunt" when compared to the 750cc version and this allows some white-knuckle enjoyment for a passenger that is not so easy to experience in the Crosley-powered version.

Maserati confirms Ghibli hybrid, second SUV
Fri, Feb 14 2020Maserati is sitting out the 2020 Geneva auto show, but that doesn't mean it has nothing to announce. It's working on overhauling its range with new models, including a second SUV, and electrified technology. The Italian company confirmed earlier rumors claiming it will introduce a hybrid version of the Ghibli, its entry-level sedan, in 2020. There's no word yet on when the car will make its debut, though previous reports tentatively point to an unveiling at the biennial Beijing auto show. Work on what Maserati refers to as its super-sports car continues, and the model (pictured as a test mule) will spawn a battery-electric variant that will sound as awesome as it will look. It's scheduled to make its public debut at a standalone event penciled in for May of 2020. An ˆ800-million (about $870-million) investment will allow Maserati to build a second SUV, which hasn't been unveiled yet, in its Cassino, Italy, factory. The last product plan published by the brand positioned the yet-unnamed model below the Levante. The first pre-production cars will roll off a new production line by 2021, meaning we're likely to see it in the metal in the coming year. It might not arrive in American showrooms until the 2022 model year, however. When it does, Maserati predicts the model will play a leading role in its turnaround. Finally, an additional ˆ800 million investment will help prepare the historic Mirafiori, Italy, factory to build the next-generation GranCabrio and GranTurismo. They'll take Maserati into the electric car segment for the first time. These sizeable investment will ensure every upcoming addition to the Maserati range will be developed and built in Italy. The announcement still leaves plenty of questions, but it points to a line-up that will look completely different in 2024 than it does in 2020, and that's good news for fans of horsepower with an Italian flair.
2021 Maserati updates: Android Automotive infotainment, enhanced driver assists, design tweaks
Wed, Dec 9 2020A new infotainment system with a larger touchscreen highlights the changes to the 2021 Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, while the Levante SUV makes do with a minor update to its existing system as well as styling tweaks. The major changes are concentrated on the interior. The Ghibli and Quattroporte ditch their former Uconnect-based infotainment systems for an all-new system using Android Automotive software, and screen size grows from 8.4 inches to 10.1 inches with higher resolution and a frameless design. A Maserati Connect app is available for smartphones and smartwatches and also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The Levante retains its 8.4-inch unit but with improved resolution. The interiors of all three models also see an upgrade to the instrument cluster. The cluster's driver-information display gets enhanced resolution, while the gauges are redesigned for a more premium appearance. And the plastic covering over the instruments has been replaced with glass. The sedans and SUV also add a new Advanced Driving Assist. The semi-autonomous lane-centering feature works in conjunction with the adaptive cruise control. It's basically an evolution of the existing Highway Assist, the difference being its ability to work on more secondary roads rather than just major highways. Finally, all three models get new grille designs (available in chrome or black) and new taillights with what Maserati describes as a "boomerang" graphic, inspired by the 3200 GT coupe.

Slow Chinese market delays Maserati and Alfa Romeo models
Thu, Dec 3 2015We already told you that Alfa Romeo was delaying the Giulia sedan and an unnamed CUV, but now things are getting worse. According to Bloomberg, Maserati has delayed the Alfieri sports car. And it's all China's fault. The faltering Chinese domestic market, which is experiencing its slowest period of growth in nearly three decades, is forcing Fiat Chrysler to rethink its plans for its Italian models, Bloomberg reports. Rather than going for models that would likely be popular in China, including the Alfa CUV and a larger sedan, the company will shift its focus and bring out updated MiTo and Giulietta hatchbacks, both of which would play better in Europe, an unnamed source within FCA told Bloomberg. This news is notable because it shows that FCA boss Sergio Marchionne's ambitious product transformation is not progressing as smoothly as planned. In the MiTo's case, the company is willing to go back on its original strategy. The subcompact hatch wasn't supposed to survive beyond 2016, but Bloomberg is reporting an update is due by the middle of next year. As for Maserati, well, there's not much to say. The Alfieri was supposed to go on sale next year, and now it's not. There's no word on how (or even if) Maserati's priorities will shift to another vehicle, or if this is simply a matter of money being distributed away from one of FCA's brands and toward another.
