It’s no secret we’re into shooting brakes – or estates, station wagons \u2013 whatever you want to call them. We like the gentlemanly fusion of style and utility that these cars represent. And in terms of practical steeze – it’s hard to beat the Maserati Bellagio Fastback.<\/p>\n

Just four of these gorgeous creatures were produced by Touring<\/a>, the famous Milano coachhouse – and this particular example was apparently created especially for Italian financier and ex-Ducati President Dr Carlo Bonomi.<\/p>\n

The rump car was that Quatropporte – with an 395 hp, 4,244 cc DOHC V-8 engine, six-speed automatic gearbox, four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, double wishbones and anti-roll bars, and four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes. Apparently the bodywork was typically painstaking and the beautiful interior win tilting rear seats with a longitudinal adjustment, a fridge to keep the champagne chilled, and two seven-inch headrest monitors.<\/p>\n

There’s also a dog barrier in the back, as well as a concealed rear gun compartment that can hold two pairs of the finest shotguns. RM auctons recently sold the car for Euro117K. Bargain, we reckon.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
