📜 History:

This Maserati Mexico is a unique prototype built by Carrozzeria Frua. Presented in its world premiere on the coachbuilder's stand at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1968, it embodies the most elegant vision of designer Pietro Frua, notably evoking the lines of the legendary 5000 GT built for the Aga Khan. After being displayed as a showcase model at Frua, it returned to the Maserati workshops to be mechanically finalized.

Delivered new in March 1970 to the Spanish importer Auto Paris, based in Barcelona. The car remained in Spain for 50 years, passing through the hands of two owners, including a Catalan collector who kept it for 33 years.

In 2013, it joined a major Belgian collection and underwent a complete restoration: the bodywork was fully restored by the Philippe Vilain workshop in Brussels, while the mechanicals were handled by a marque specialist.

The current owner purchased it at Bonhams in 2015 and has continued to maintain this unique example with great care.

A rare feature for a prototype, the burgundy leather interior is entirely original and beautifully preserved. It displays an authentic patina, along with its distinctive instruments and horizontal clock mounted between the front seats.
