This particular car is one that presents very well, as the new paint and the interior re-trim have been completed beautifully. It is/was owned by the same chap that bought my Shamal. He sold two old Porsche 911's to buy the Merak and the Shamal, giving him a lovely instant Maserati collection in his 2 bay garage. Lucky man!
The one downside with Merak's is that they are not exactly the most reliable Maserati ever built! Think of it as a car to enjoy owning, sitting in, looking at, etc., but not so much actually using. Personally I wouldn't dream of jumping in a Merak and setting off for Italy (well, not without the Emblem support vehicle close behind). Nice idea though.
Last I saw the Shamal was still for sale at the garage near Harry Metcalf's place. Not sure whether it's been sold yet or not. Either way, it looks like the dream Maserati 2 car garage didn't last very long!
