1979 Lancia Zagato, Limited Edition with Fuel Injected motor.  Original Owner,  Chassis VIN# 828BS1 200229.    This was quite a charming car in that it was always rare, even when introduced, and would promote positive responses from fellow motorists.  It has proven itself to be very reliable and was counted on to perform all of the family transportation needs including vacation trips to the mountains and cross country trips.

BODY:

On this example, the finish is quite shiny, the body is very straight with minimal rust. The early Pinin Farina Zagato's had a few extra touches: The rear fender to rear window cowl are factory filled, and the gas filler is concealed by a door. Also, the original paint is of very high quality, and original undercoating and rustproofing was very good for a 34 year old car. The driver side front fender was replaced along with the door.  The door was repairable, but a clean replacement was available so it was changed.  The hood and some other panels have been re-painted over the years by high end paint shops using the best materials available.  There is a chip on the left rear fender lip that occured when the car was carried from the storage location where it was sleeping for the past 16 years.

INTERIOR:

The carpet and trunk carpet are original, and in excellent condition.  The original leather seats are glove leather and were very soft but have hardened and shrunk over the years and need replacing.  The original dash has just developed cracks over the gages.

ENGINE & CHASSIS:

The engine is a 2.0 liter with double overhead cams and hemispherical combustion chambers and electronic ignition. The Lancia engine was replaced at~80,000 miles with a newer fuel injected Lancia 2.0 engine that had ~57,000 miles. The engine swap increased torque and horsepower (122 Vs 88hp), and made the car more fun to drive. The Lancia factory used extra care as can be seen by the cylinder block's carefully hand finished and dressed cast edges. When the car was received, a new battery installed, the fuel pickup was cleaned, and a cracked fuel return line was replaced, and she started right up.  I put it in gear and drove it forward a little and reversed it to test a few systems.  The power steering is ZF rack & pinion.  It has  4-wheel disc brakes with a dual hydraulic circuit in front.  The stopping performance challenged many of the best sports cars available in its day.  The car has a very nimble feel with sure footedness on windy roads with comfortable non-fatigueing stability on the highways.  The Pirelli's are well worn. This car received meticulous care and has 315,xxx miles on it and is now in need of mechanical restoration.

 Owned by the same owners since brand new.

Uber adds supercar rides in Singapore

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Order a ride through Uber and you'll have a choice between what kind of car you want or need: Uber Black for standard fare, Uber X for the lowest cost available, Uber Taxi to order a regular cab, Uber SUV if you need to move more people or even Uber Lux if you want a luxury town car service. But customers in Singapore now have another option: to be picked up in a Lamborghini or Maserati. The pilot program launched in collaboration with Dream Drive will allow customers to be picked up in either a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder or a Maserati GranTurismo to get around the Southeast Asian city-state. Ordering up the Maser will set customers back 165 Singapore Dollars (equivalent of $120 USD) for the first 15 minutes and 7 SGD ($5.10) for every subsequent minute. The Lambo gets the same per-minute rate but begs a higher 200 SGD ($146) base rate. Uber and Dream Drive were even offering free rides over the weekend to launch the initiative. Those prices make riding around in an Italian exotic pretty pricey, especially since you don't actually get to drive them – just ride shotgun. But then cars are quite expensive to begin with in Singapore, where it costs over half a million in US dollars to get a new Maserati in the first place.

Jay Kay's 1955 Maserati A6G/54 on the docket for Pebble Beach

Sat, 26 May 2012

Gooding & Company has revealed the highlights of its consignments for its Pebble Beach auction during the action-packed Monterey weekend. At the top of the list is the classic 1955 Maserati A6G/54 Frua Berlinetta currently owned by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay. This Maserati, the show car from the 1955 Paris Auto Salon, features Frau coachwork, won Best in Show at the Salon Privé, and is expected to fetch between $1.5 and 2 million.
No less prestigious is the 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Stelvio convertible that belonged to Prince Louis Napoleon of France, grandson of Emperor Napoleon I and noted Bugatti collector of the time. Supercharged from the factory, the stunning two-tone droptop is projected to sell for $1.3 to 1.6 million.
Finally, an original 1966 Shelby 427 Cobra is on the docket, with pre-sale estimates at $750,000 - $950,000. See below for the full press release and watch this space as the classic car world gears up for Pebble Beach.

Watch the Maserati MC20 unveiling

Wed, Sep 9 2020

UPDATE: You can now read all the details and see photos of the MC20 here. Maserati has been teasing its upcoming MC20 mid-engined coupe since spring, and today we finally get to see it in the flesh. Maserati will begin the livestream at 2:35 PM Eastern, and you can watch along with us in the video above. If you need a reminder of what we're looking forward to, we're expecting a two-door performance car with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 mounted amidships providing about 630 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque. Notably, that motor comes from Maserati itself, rather than sourcing it from Ferrari. In addition to the original teasers from March and a more recent studio teaser from September 1, we've also seen some spy photos of the MC20 out in the wild. There was also a MC20 tribute to Stirling Moss, as well as a 1940 Targa Florio tribute. Check those out to get up to speed, and watch the live event with us here shortly.
