This magnificent 1968 Maserati Quattroporte is being completed to perfection by S2 Classic Cars. Due to circumstances the project could not be completed by the restoration firm who started the project a few years ago. Regretfully some parts went missing. Currently missing parts are being sourced, and found parts are being restored and overhauled. The advanced engine and gearbox will also be fully overhauled. The owner will be able to enjoy the Maserati to the fullest next year!

The Maserati Quattroporte (tipo 107 1st and 2nd series) was built from 1963 until 1970. The Quattroporte was the first four-door luxury sedan to combine high performance with elegant Italian design. The car was designed by Pietro Frua, and the production was handled by Vignale. The Quattroporte design was inspired by the Maserati 5000 GT coupé. The Quattroporte featured advanced luxury items that were first seen on American luxury automobiles like power windows and air conditioning (optional). The first 230 cars featured an advanced De Dion rear axle, from 1966 a less complicated leaf sprung Salisbury axle was fitted. The Quattroporte was powered by a 4.1 Litre (260 bhp) V8 engine. From 1968 a 4.7 litre (286 bhp) V8 engine became also available. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a ZF 5-speed manually operated gearbox or an automatic (Borg Warner 3-speed) gearbox which was optionally available. Fitted with the 4.7 Litre V8 engine and the manual gearbox the Quattroporte was the fastest four-door production saloon of its time with a top speed of 255 km/h (158 mph). The Maserati Quattroporte Tipo 107 is rare, 230 series 1 cars were built, and around 530 series 2 cars.
