The seller offers for sale a 1968 Maserati Mistral finished in Celeste Chiaro with a blue leather interior. Powered by a 4.0-litre inline-six coupled to a manual gearbox, this rare Italian classic was produced in just 968 units, of which only three with the 4000 engine are known to exist in Sweden. The car is believed to have been displayed or used for promotional purposes by a Maserati dealer before its first Swedish registration in 1975. Owned by the last keeper since 1997, it runs smoothly without smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts well. The paint shows minor imperfections and could benefit from touch-ups, while the interior displays age-related wear consistent with the car’s vintage charm. Some small spots of rust are visible but not unusual for its age. No accident history is reported, and the vehicle is mechanically good. This car holds a valid technical inspection certificate and is ready to drive.
The Maserati Mistral represents one of the brand’s most elegant and collectible grand tourers of the 1960s. Designed by Pietro Frua, the car combined graceful styling with advanced engineering. The inline-six engine, derived from Maserati’s racing experience, provided both refinement and performance, making it a favorite among discerning drivers. Produced in limited numbers, the Mistral has become a sought-after classic, admired for its rarity, sophistication, and connection to Maserati’s golden era. With its timeless design, balanced proportions, and engaging driving experience, the Mistral remains a highly desirable piece of Italian automotive history.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
