Content Overview
Brooklands Portfolios are compilations of period road tests, driving impressions, technical articles, and reviews taken from contemporary motoring magazines. This volume covers Maserati’s road cars over four decades:
-
1957–1960s: Classic GTs such as the 3500 GT, Sebring, and Mistral.
-
1970s: Bora, Merak, Khamsin, and Indy – Maserati’s V8 and V6 exotics.
-
1980s: Biturbo series, including coupe and convertible variants.
-
1990s: Later Biturbo evolutions, Ghibli II, Quattroporte IV, and the Shamal.
-
Articles: Reprints from magazines like Autocar, Car and Driver, Road & Track, and Motor.
-
Photography: Period road test images, specification tables, and performance data.
Historical Context
-
Brooklands Books portfolios are prized because they preserve original magazine articles, offering authentic period perspectives rather than retrospective analysis.
-
This Maserati volume is especially valuable because it spans the company’s transition from classic GTs to the controversial Biturbo era, ending just before Ferrari’s takeover in 1999.
-
Collectors appreciate these portfolios as primary source material, useful for restoration reference and historical research.
