Popular Post lanciamatt Posted January 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2019 I thought I'd start a post about latest project. It's a maserati 4.24v biturbo, not UK registered yet and I've a few bits to sort out, cambelt etc to do, bit suspension work and sort electrics out. It's only done 30k miles. Heater control panel does nothing, and it crunches into 4th. RayMK, Junkman, J-T and 72 others 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfamale Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Love these Mazzers. Good luck with your project, Look forward to reading your adventures with this. This is one I was offered in Oria, Italy last year. That was a 4.24 same as yours, in quite a state and owner wanted €8k for it.

lanciamatt Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 I don't know what the story with it is, but underneath car and under bonnet looks like it has never been wet, zero corrosion underneath, everything like new. Parts arnt cheap though, 70quid for track rod end. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Nice Maser the fuse boxes used to give a lot of trouble in these so worth checking there first for electrical faults. The cambelts are pretty easy to do with no special tools required. Enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 You are not alone on here, I believe there are 3 other BiTurbos including our 425. Sudsprint, Junkman, Mrs6C and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanciamatt Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 It's needs a heater control panel, or I'll repair it if poss, only full speed works, on other buttons except recirc every now and again.

John F Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Oh NOES! Many, many sympathies for getting one of these ace, fragile, stressful but beautiful moneypits. See some of my earlier posts about how much fun you can have chasing rot around them. I pity you, and in many respects I am you. Solidarity, bro. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

John F Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Can you record your attempt to get full breakdown coverage for one of these? I have it with my insurance... seriously. And I've used it before (obv.) HarmonicCheeseburger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Lanciamatt earlier... Seriously though, that looks like a well looked after example. It's boxy enough to say '80's saloon, but swoopy enough to say fast car. Ace. petermchugh79, oldcars, holbeck and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I've always wondered this, but why do Italian Speedos and Rev counters always not sit at zero? They seem to have the end stop around the 5-10mph/500rpm mark. Mrs6C and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
