April 9, 2002

. . . . . . . .

C. Bertaschi is right to say that the Disco Volante (see Peròn's Disco Volante s/n 1361.00126) remains somewhat mysterious, but he oversimplifies the opening story of two 3 litre Spiders, as they are presumable the 'proper' Discos, one in the Biscaretti and one at Arese. Nothing, however, is absolute.

- Ed McDonough

. . . . . . . .

In the article on the Technoclassica-Essen show, the 250F V12, displayed at the stand of respected dealer Klaus Werner, was #2531 (NOT 2431!),[Note- VeloceToday corrected this]

I was involved in the organization of the stand of the German MASERATI Club. The exhibited engine was the matching-no-motor for the 450S #4502 next to it. The car had its engine out due to service for the upcoming race-events. It is not correct, that two more 450S existing to next to #4506 and #4502 in Europe! This two numbers are the only 450S in Europe and all the rest are in the US.

It`s time to name and not ignore the MASERATI Ghibli-Spyders as only 125 of this type were build. It´s a rare car and so it`s worth to mention that. We had the privilege to have one of only 25 4.9-liter-cars of this type for display and another 4.9-Spyder was for sale -and was sold immediately!- in the same hall with a German dealer!

Kind Regards,
Walter Baumer
The German MASERATI Club
