This low-mileage ‘M139’ Maserati Quattroporte ‘Automatica’ is a neat and original example of the fifth-generation Italian grand tourer. It is powered by a 4.2-litre Ferrari V8 – effectively a less powerful version of the unit found in the F430 coupe of the same era – which is mated to a six-speed ZF automatic transmission. The odometer shows just 38,643 kilometres from new. First registered in 2007, the car has had three owners, and has been in the care of the seller for the last two and a half years. This pre-facelift 2007 Quattroporte is finished in Blu Nettuno paintwork over a contrasting cream Poltrona Frau leather-trimmed interior, featuring wood accents and embroidered Maserati logos on the seats’ headrests. It rides on the correct set of 20-inch seven spoke wheels, which are shod with Pirelli P-Zero tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes the ‘Skyhook’ adaptive suspension system, along with stability control, airbags, cruise control, electronically adjustable front seats with memory function, climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and a Blaupunkt five-CD stacker paired with a Bose audio system. The central display and head unit has been updated with aftermarket Android Auto and Apple Carplay functionality, and a non-standard reversing camera has also been fitted. The Quattroporte has otherwise been maintained in its original factory specification. It will be accompanied by documentation of its service history for the past two years, and previous registration details. The seller is not aware of any bodywork damage. The seller also states that the Blu Nettuno paintwork is original, which is supported by the 'verniciatura originale' sticker found on the underside of the bonnet. The finish is in good overall condition, though there are a few minor use-related blemishes around the vehicle. These include a scratch on the passenger side of the rear bumper and some surface scratches in the front passenger side panel, along with various cleaning marks and some chips on edges of doors. Likewise, the interior is said to be original, and the seller stresses its excellent condition. The front seats and contrasting black carpets are in very good order good, with the driver’s seat bolsters showing some wear, and there is a flaw in the inner central pillar on the driver’s side. The button markings and some of the plastic surfaces also show minor wear. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The car’s last roadworthiness test was completed in August 2022, resulting in a pass without issue or advisory. This six month registration is valid until February 2023. This Quattroporte was most recently serviced by Vaucluse Auto Repairs in June 2022 at 38,154 kilometres. At this time the front shocks were replaced and a suspension repair kit was installed, replacing the front driver’s side suspension upper and lower control arms. The radiator was also replaced. An annual service was completed in December 2021, and a service and some repairs were undertaken in November 2020. Presented in smart, original condition and benefitting from a recent service, this pre-facelift 2007 Maserati Quattroporte is a handsome example of the luxury performance sedan. This car features the regular six-speed automatic ZF transmission, praised for its quick, smooth shifts and convenience over the prior ‘DuoSelect’ cars. Boasting a handsome Poltrona Frau leather-trimmed interior and a high level of specification throughout, it offers a compelling blend of performance, comfort, and style, and should make a highly capable daily driver or weekend cruiser for any enthusiast.
