Anyone? Guy seems willing to sell complete, and the comments suggest it was a very good car not so long ago

That's a mega rare car and needs to be saved.

Best of luck! I wonder what's wrong with it, in this pic the engine seems to be idling?

Probably blew it up shortly afterwards but hoped no one would notice.

Edit: Actually probably went to get the key out, got stuck, then broke it in the barrel and now it won't start.

I know, apparently a non-runner but who knows. The 2.2 Turbo 2 was a non-interference engine so this one hopefully would be as well.

First time I've ever seen a speedo denominated like that:

Uncommon in Britain because our speed limits are x0, but common in America where speed limits are x5

Too late, my account's expired and I won't give them another £100 (or whatever the fee is these days) to just bid - I still gawp at the auctions from time to time tho'

US market during the 1975-1995 55 mph national speed limit laughable phase of US motoring history introduced following the 1973 oil crisis. There was a federal safety standard also briefly issues that mandated a maximum speed of 85 on speedos and the 55 be emphasised, this is evidently not affected but is similar. US speed limits also typically end with a five, not a zero like in Europe.

This led to a fascinating Wikipedia wormhole Ā around how this ā€œMaseratiā€ came to be.Ā
