The seller offers for sale this 1969 Maserati Indy, an elegant Italian grand tourer powered by a 4.2-liter V8 coupled with a manual gearbox. This example has been in the UK since 1988 with the same long-term owner, who carried out a restoration over a decade while keeping the car in use for tours across Europe. A substantial history file accompanies the car, including the original owner’s manual, invoices from Maserati specialists, and a formal valuation from 2019. The paintwork presents in very good condition with only light age-related marks, while the interior remains tidy with original features, showing only slight wear on the seats. Headlining, boot trim, and the parcel shelf are all in very good condition. Mechanically, the car runs smoothly. No rust, accident history, or structural concerns are noted. Overall, this Maserati Indy represents a well-maintained and reliable example of a rare 1960s Italian GT.
The Maserati Indy was unveiled in 1969 as a practical yet stylish successor to the Mexico, designed to celebrate Maserati’s racing heritage and their victory at the Indianapolis 500. Featuring a fastback body by Vignale, the Indy combined luxurious seating for four with the performance of Maserati’s V8 engines, available in 4.2-, 4.7-, and later 4.9-liter versions. Praised for its balance of comfort and speed, it offered effortless long-distance touring while retaining Italian flair. Positioned as a competitor to Ferrari’s 365 GT 2+2 and Lamborghini’s Espada, the Indy stood out for its understated elegance and usability. Today, the Indy is increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate its rarity, design pedigree, and role in Maserati’s golden era of grand touring cars.
