It’s been sunny. It’s been miserable. Typical England. <\/strong><\/p>\n

June, contrary to the discourse on summertime here in the northern hemisphere, is very often very wet and grey in these islands.<\/p>\n

So it was with the drizzle and the wind clouding our consciousness that we stumbled upon this, the original prototype of the gorgeous Maserati Ghibli Spyder.<\/p>\n

It is the automotive manifestation of sunshine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Maserati-Ghibli-2\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

They only ever made 128 Ghibli Spyders. But not only is this one of the prettiest and rarest cars ever to roll off a production line, this is the very first Ghibli Spyder ever made.<\/p>\n

Then esteemed coach builder Ghia (just before it was sold off as a trim line to FORD) revealed the car on its stand in Turin in 1968. When they tore off the sheet it must have made people weep. The Giallo<\/em> paintwork. The leather in Testa di Moro<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Shock. Awe. Lust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who can guess how much this will raise?<\/p>\n

But what price sunshine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t
