Maserati 3500 GT Spyder by Vignale

Coachwork by Carrozzeria Vignale, founded by Alfredo Vignale in Turin. Through the 1950s and 60s Vignale was one of the most sought-after Italian coachbuilders, known for elegant, largely hand-built bodies in aluminium and steel for Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia and Fiat — each built in very small series. Only around 242 examples of the Vignale-bodied 3500 GT Spyder were ever made, making this one of the rarest and most desirable open Maseratis of the era.
