Fun, and rare. Might sneak through the auction quite cheaply, as it's offered with no reserve and biturbos aren't everyones favorite Maserati.
Looks like it's been of the road for 5 years (between 2016-2021), but has an MOT now.

Its a hard sell IMO. The proportions are just not right.

Me neither...
Too much of the British Leyland “Princess - Vanden Plas” about it somehow...!
A hard sell...but what do I know...?

I agree. This car was designed by the same person that did the standard Biturbo. It can seem like the idea was to get a real back seat for adults. At least that is what they build. The rear seats of the two door Biturbo were for kids and teenagers, but not adults. I fit well into the rear seats of my own 228. But look at the body. It is completely out of the original Biturbo propotions. Interior is excellent though!
