According to information provided by Maserati Classiche, this particular Mistral 3.5 Spyder was originally built on 29 July 1965 as a left hand drive car to London, finished in Nero over a white leather interior. While the precise date is not known - the car was subsequently exported to the United States. In April of 1973, the car was acquired by William P. Beriling of Marblehead, Massachusetts, from Paul C. Setze, also of Marblehead. Beriling would go on to keep the car for over 30 years. By that time, like many other examples, it's Lucas fuel-injection setup had been replaced with triple Weber carburetors that remain with the car today.

In early 2003, Breiling sold the Spyder through Marc Sonnery and Ed Waterman of Motorcar Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to a major Maserati collector - Doug Magnon of Riverside, California. Doug and his father Ray established the Riverside International Automotive Museum in 2006 and the Spyder became one of the key attractions in this Maserati themed collection, not only due to it's beauty but also it's originality - the car had never been restored and displayed wonderful patina. The hardtop which comes with the car - an extremely rare factory option - enhanced the beauty of the car's styling.

In 2016 the car returned to Europe where various specialists attended to the car's sensitive restoration, resulting in the car's fantastic condition it presents in today. Having covered a handful of miles since it's restoration, with the fabulous colour combination and with it's usability and performance more than ample for modern roads, the next owner of this superb Spyder has a number of opportunities to enjoy this special car.
