Original Maserati Mexico 4700 For Sale (1970) edit C80036 | | | On the Vignale stand at the “Salone di Torino” in 1965 there appeared an original 2-door 4-seater prototype designed by Giovanni Michelotti monted on a Maserati tubular chassis with a 4,9 litre V8 engine.
It’s appearance at the “Salone di Torino” was very well received, so much so that Maserati immediately made plans to put a version into limited production. The production Mexico, designated “Tipo AM112” by the factory, was a derivation of that original prototype, was first displayed at the Paris Motor Show a year later.
The Mexico was powered by a 4,7 litre V8 engine (slightly lower in capacity than that of the prototype) producing 290 bhp at 5000 rpm, this gave the car a top speed of between 240 and 250 kph.
In 1969, in the Maserati tradition, the Mexico was also made available with a “smaller” engine. This time the 4,2 litre V8 engine that powered the original Quattroporte 1a version. Production of the Mexico between 1966 and 1973 totalled 482, one with the 4,9 litre engine, 305 4,2 litre versions and 175 4,7 litre versions.
This very original Maserati Mexico was sold to Mr Varolo in 1970. He was a medical chief at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza and chief of the medical checks of the drivers at the circuit. The car is completely original and fully serviced. Matching numbers. Toolbox present. And it still has its orignal Borrani's. The car has been resprayed but is really straight.
