From Daniel in Hungary

MASERATI 2.24v.

"Hallo Enrico ! I found your website, great. I have a problem, maybe you can help. I recently purchased a Maserati 2.24v (1989). Had some electric problems that are largely solved (my dad's an electrical engineer). Hereinafter very good would be an electrical diagram. With The car gave me a CD with very detailed, but unfortunately 2.24v - from no electrical drawing (425, 430, 422 type it is, but unfortunately they are a little bit different). Do you have an electric system type of 2.24v, which in you can send me e-mail - in ? Thank you very much in advance for this. Sorry for my bad english, but unfortunately only in German (and Hungarian, of course) talking about. Yours faithfully, Daniel - Hungary. The car is great!" "Hi Daniel, Thank you for you email. I'm sorry I can't help. I have never ever seen a wiring diagram for the 2.24v. I'm not sure one exists. More photos of your 2.24v. please. All the best, Enrico. P.S. Your English is excellent, if only my Hungarian or German were half as good !!!" "Hallo Enrico, Sorry to send such a late pictures. You can see, there is still some work to do with it. The car would go nicely. Two exhaust and one intake valves had to switch. I managed to find a web site where I could buy the electric manually to 2.24v. Not yet come, I look forward. Best regards, Daniel."

MASERATI 3500 GT

"Ciao Maseratisti, Whilst surfing the internet I came across this very nice example of one of the truly classic and most sought-after of Maseratis, the Maserati 3500 GT Coupe. It is presently available for sale at Thiesen at the MEILENWERK Berlin, and I would like to thank Mr. Karl-Helmut Larkamp of E. Theisen Automobile Raritäten for allowing me to publish these splendid photos. Enjoy, Enrico."

MASERATI 222 SE

"Ciao Enrico, How are you doing today? Last week we had a week of good weather here on the Dutch / German border so I decided to wake up my Maserati 222 SE from its winter sleep. It was amazing, she started at once, even though she had not run for 6 months. In October 2012 she arrived here on German plates, as you can see I chose I 222. Last Friday she got 4 new tyres, and as they say in Germany (Axialvermessung), now she is riding very nice and straight. I made some pictures Friday afternoon, in one of the pictures you can also see the latest addition to my car collection, a 1983 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 116, and my daily drive a superb Jaguar XJ6. So now the summer may come, so I can drive my Maserati around (now it is snowing again :( ) Kind Regards, Roy."

MASERATI MISTRAL

"Ciao Enrico, Long time no speak! Come stai carissimo ? Not much has changed here except we bought a bigger house which we are slowly doing up. I can't stand restoring things, including the Mistral which is now in its 4th year of restoration. I'd rather be driving it! Eventually I expect I will ! Ref the house it will have a bigger garage so I can work on people's Maseratis more easily and also up the amount of engine rebuilds and component refurbishments. Re. the Mistral, the timing chain I got from an engine reconditioning workshop in Nuneaton. It's compatible pitch to ab old Mercedes model. Anyway, £28 including the split links. Poi the windscreen seals, I found exactly the same section seal and bought all I need for £70. Intanto that I progress the rebuilding of the car, I found an interesting article in Octane on the Mistral and the Maserati straight 6 engines in Italian speed boats. Te lo mando via email? Un abbraccio, Alessandro."

MASERATI TIPO 61 'BIRDCAGE' CHASSIS

"Ciao Maseratisti, Amongst the more unusual models avilable to the model collector is Autodromo's 1:8th scale model of the Giulio Alfieri designed intricate tubular chassis of the Maserati Tipo 61. The Maserati Tipo 61, commonly referred to as the 'Birdcage', is one of the best known sports racing cars of the early 1960s. It became renowned for its innovative and intricate tubular space frame chassis containing nearly 200 chro-moly steel tubes welded together, hence the nickname. This method of construction provided a more rigid but lighter chassis than other sports cars of the time. Like the original car, each chassis is handmade using heat resistant jigs in soldered tubular (using brass as opposed to Chro Moly steel) section, taking 50+ hours to build. Only 50 examples were destined to be built and the model is about 17 inches in length. Rare to come to the market, this example is in mint condition with a glazed case, stamped limited edition plaque and travel case. For further details please contact Oliver at nosr@worldcollector.co.uk. Enrico."
