Vignale also built several pre-production prototypes with differences in details before the final production Vignale design was chosen. In six years, 243 Spyders were produced.<\/p>\n<p>Mechanically, the convertibles shared all the hallmarks that made the coupes such a success including late-model features such as disc brakes. Options including Borrani Wire Wheels, a 5-Speed ZF Transmission and a very rare hardtop.<\/p>\n<p>See all our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/tag\/maserati-3500gt\">Maserati

<\/a>&#8211; sold for \u20ac858,240.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Ruiz bought the car in bare metal from MIE and duly sent the car away for a 5-years restoration. The restoration was completed in 1993 and the owner entered the car in many events and, amongst others, won a prize at the Amelia Island Concours d\u00b4Elegance. The current owner bought the car in 2009 and even though the car was still very good condition he decided to send it to Maserati specialist, Ital-Auto, outside Stuttgart for a further restoration. It was beautifully re-painted in black and the interior re-trimmed in its original black colour. 500-600 hours of work excluding the paintwork were carried out and about 100 hours were spent solely on cosmetic details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The car is complete with all its tools, books and with factory hard-top. The engine mounted is not the original one. However, the car does come with the original matching number engine block as well. It was also originally fitted with a rare and very desirable 5-speed gearbox which gives the car significantly longer legs for a much more relaxed drive.\u00a0<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3210\/1.html\">R\u00e9tromobile 2015 by Artcurial Motorcars<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1960%e2%86%921964-maserati-3500-gt-spyder\/1098624-1536-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-264239\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264239\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1098624-15361.jpg\" alt=\"1960\u21921964 Maserati 3500 GT Spyder\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=1061&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1098624\">1961 Maserati 3500 GT Spider Vignale 101.1221<\/a> &#8211; sold for \u20ac834,400.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Sold new in Paris. Matching numbers. Completely original. Same owner between 1979 and 2013. One of 245 examples built. The current owner, a Lamborghini owner, entrusted the car to the renowned business Automobiles T.S. where Monsieur Sisinni undertook a meticulous recommissioning, leaving the totally original coachwork untouched. Only the windscreen was changed as the old one was damaged. This is an incredibly sound car in every respect. In Toni Sisinni&#8217;s view, it has never been dismantled and is thus in very well conserved and completely original condition. The leather upholstery, hood and carpets are all original. <\/span> <b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3210\/1.html\">R\u00e9tromobile 2015 by Artcurial Motorcars<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1960%e2%86%921964-maserati-3500-gt-spyder\/1098467-1536-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-264245\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264245\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1098467-15361.jpg\" alt=\"1960\u21921964 Maserati 3500 GT Spyder\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=1061&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1098467\">1960 Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spyder 101.979<\/a> &#8211; sold for \u20ac793,500.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">An early carburettor-equipped model, this matching numbers 3500GT Vignale Spyder was manufactured in July 1960 and exported new to California, USA where it was first registered in 1961. As far as in known, the Maserati has had only three private owners from new, the last of whom, a Dutch collector, owned it from 1989 to 2014. In 2000\/2001 the car was restored by recognised specialists in Holland, including an engine rebuild, and refinished in its original colour scheme of Bianca Andalusia (white) with black leather interior. All restoration invoices are in the history file and the car is described as in beautiful condition, driving very well. Additional documentation consists of a Maserati Classiche certificate, International Maserati Research document and Netherlands registration papers. An exciting opportunity to acquire an exceptional example of this most sought after of classic Maseratis.\u00a0<\/span><b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3208\/1.html\">2015 Les Grandes Marques du Monde au Grand Palais<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1960%e2%86%921964-maserati-3500-gt-spyder\/1098161-1536-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-264249\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264249\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1098161-15361.jpg\" alt=\"1960\u21921964 Maserati 3500 GT Spyder\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=1061&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1098161\">1961 Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spyder AM101.1029<\/a> &#8211; sold for $1,347,500<\/b> One of 242 Vignale Spyders built.
