The 'right' badge, a good history file and the motoring 'X factor': Classic Driver dealer Lutziger Classic Cars believes it has a winner in this 1976 Maserati Merak SS.

And, at 30,000 euros, you could add 'value for money' to that list, too.

Although production of the V6 Merak eclipsed that of the V8-engined Bora (some 1,900 Meraks were produced in total) pristine examples are becoming increasingly hard to find.

The Swiss dealership is confident that with the work lavished on this example ("engine, gearbox, clutch, water pump, radiator, fuel tanks, fuel hoses, water hoses, brake hoses, carburettor and clutch cylinders either revised or replaced", so it says) it makes it one of the finest available.
