ASI homologated in 1997. In March 2024 it underwent a complete overhaul with the replacement of all oils and liquids, replacement of all water and oil hoses, water pipes from front radiator to engine, all filters and battery with a total expenditure of 1600 euros.
It still has the original steering wheel in perfect condition, which was often replaced with non-original after-market accessories. An excellent car ready for immediate use. A younger sister of the Maserati Bora with which it shared the splendid design created by the pencil of Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Merak was created to fill the market segment of the Ferrari 308 and Lamborghini Urraco. Its 300 v6 engine, derived from the Citroen Maserati would later be the forerunner for the Maserati Biturbo generation designed by Alejandro De Tomaso. Unlike the Bora, the very compact engine allowed the creation of small additional seats, offering customers a beautiful sports car that could also be used occasionally with the family.
