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 electrified the new Grecale SUV, and it's the top performer
Thu, Apr 20 2023Maserati is going electric, first with the announcement of the GranTurismo Folgore, its first electrified performance car, and now with the reveal of the Grecale Folgore electric SUV. The brand announced the vehicle at the Shanghai Auto Show this week, along with the promise that all its models would offer electric options by 2025. The 550-horsepower electric SUV gets a dual-motor powertrain, which delivers 605 pound-feet of torque, and standard all-wheel drive. Maserati promises a range of around 311 miles (500km) and a top speed of 137 mph. Compare that with the gas-powered Grecale Modena’s 325 horsepower, and itÂ’s clear this will be the performance halo of the SUV line. Though electric, the Grecale Folgore retains MaseratiÂ’s signature grille look and trident logo up front. ItÂ’s a more traditional presentation than the weird closed-off nose many EVs carry, and the automaker left its iconic three-porthole styling element on the front fenders. Wheel sizes range from 19 to 21 inches, depending on the market, and the SUV gets gloss-black exterior trim. Maserati installed a 12.3-inch touchscreen and an 8.8-inch digital gauge cluster and said that many of the Grecale FolgoreÂ’s controls have gone digital in the infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto join a few Chinese-market apps like WeChat and Baidu CarLife, and the Maserati digital assistant system has been updated for the electric SUV. Grecale Folgore buyers can work with Maserati on home or public charging solutions, including facilitating charging across Europe and China. The automaker can facilitate home charging installation, including shipping a wallbox charger to buyersÂ’ homes or offices. The SUV itself comes with 400-volt electric architecture, as well as battery preconditioning and temperature management to ensure the fastest charging. We donÂ’t have pricing or a U.S. release date for the new SUV, but Maserati talked more about its first EV, the GranTurismo Folgore, at the show. The car features more than 750 horsepower at the wheels and an 800-volt electrical system for ultra-fast charging. Gas versions of the car are available with up to 542 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6. Green Auto Shanghai Maserati Electric
Fiat/PSA's dominance in small vans hangs up EU's merger approval
Mon, Jun 8 2020BRUSSELS — EU antitrust regulators are concerned about Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot / PSA's combined high market share in small vans and may require concessions to clear their $50 billion merger, people familiar with the matter said. The companies, which are seeking to create the world's fourth biggest carmaker, were told of the European Commission's concerns last week. If Fiat and PSA fail to dispel the European Commission's doubts in the next two days and subsequently decline to offer concessions by Wednesday, the deadline for doing so, the deal would face a four-month-long investigation. The EU competition enforcer, which has set a June 17 deadline for its preliminary review, declined to comment. Fiat was not immediately available for comment while PSA had no immediate comment. Hiving off overlapping businesses, usually a regulatory demand to ensure more competition, could prove tricky for the carmakers because of the technicalities. Fiat and PSA are looking to merge to help offset slowing demand and shoulder the cost of making cleaner vehicles to meet tougher emissions regulations. The deal puts under one roof the Italian carmaker's brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Maserati and the French company's Peugeot, Opel and DS.

Maserati MCXtrema revealed as a track-only limited-production 'toy' at The Quail
Fri, Aug 18 2023The Maserati MCXtrema just had its sheet pulled off at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. It’s yet another race car variation of the MC20, following in the footsteps of the Maserati GT2. Unlike the GT2, though, the MCXtrema is not designed to be used in any official racing series. Instead, itÂ’s a race car built without boundaries for maximum performance. And of course, because itÂ’s a race car, itÂ’s not street-legal either. What is it for then? Maserati claims the MCXtrema is meant for “purist collectors and for the loyal customers of the brand, who wish to add a new ‘toyÂ’ to their garage that can swallow up the curbs of the most exciting tracks during private tests.” Basically, just think of it as a millionaireÂ’s toy to take out on the occasional weekend track day. ItÂ’s just for fun, not for any serious competition use. Since itÂ’s not regulated by any specific racing series, Maserati pumped output all the way up to 730 horsepower from the twin-turbo Nettuno V6 engine. ThatÂ’s 109 horsepower more than the road car and the GT2. Maserati didnÂ’t go into detail about the aero and suspension package, but it sure does look as extreme as the name of the car makes it out to be. Only 62 MCXtremas will be built, and from what we can tell, theyÂ’re already spoken for. WeÂ’re not sure how much one will cost either, but youÂ’ll be able to see it in person at The Quail on the Monterey Peninsula today. Related video:
