New Maserati Book - Maserati The Citroën Years 1968-1978

[dougieboxer]

Hello All

I am publishing a book in late October on the Citroën Era at Maserati. The book has been written by Marc Sonnery, author of ‘The Ferrari Breadvan.' This is the definitive book on the Maserati Khamsin, Bora & Merak, plus special sections on the Citroën SM, the Ligier JS2 and more. This is by far the least documented era of Maserati and includes over 150,000 words of exhaustive research, the results of unprecedented access to Maserati and Citroën in Modena and Paris as well as major private archives. There are over 70,000 words of interviews with Maserati and Citroën participants in the saga, many of whom had never ever been interviewed and several have unfortunately since passed away.

Details on the book (and our other projects) can be viewed at our website www.eaurougepublishing.com, where you can also join our mailing list for regular updates. Nearer the publication date you will be able to purchase the book from our dedicated website www.maserati-book.com, where we have also posted a few pictures to give you a taste of the book to come.

Can you drop back when its out and I am sure the members on here will be very interested in it.

Would you be willing to donate a copy to give away for our xmas party?

 

[dougieboxer]

Yes, that's no problem - it would make a stunning raffle prize!

When & where is the party? I think we met at Llandow earlier in the year. I was the imposter in the C63!

Apologies - should read 1968-1975! Although maybe a second volume on the DeTomaso era wouldn't be bad idea...

The Bora & Ghibli are both undergoing restoration, the Bora is going back to its original Blu Ischia and the Bora maybe to its original 'Rame' (metallic copper.) The Ghibli is the 1970 London Motor Show car, and had been off the road since about 1980 when I bought it, although it was kept in a very good environment, so although it needs a full resto, there is no major corrosion.

Sounds good Doug, do you have all the cars in your signature or have you sold each to buy the next?
