Maserati - Maserati Indy
The Maserati Indy, produced from 1969, with the new 4.2 litre V8 engine, was the replacement for the Maserati Sebring 2+2, which was the last of the 6 cylinder models. The bodywork chosen for the Indy was Vignales prototype which would seat 4 pasengers and also had plenty of space for luggage. So this was not a 2+2. The name Indy was in honour of Wilbur Shaws two Indy 500 victories with the Grand Prix type pre war Maserati 8CTF. By 1970 the Maserati V8 engine had been enlarged to 4.7 litres and offered as an option. By 1972 the V8 had been stretched to 4.9 litres, so the Indy 4900 was added to the 3 car range, but later on the 4.9 was the only Indy model listed. Maserati Indy production went on until 1975.
The Maserati Indy was fitted with both 14" and later 15"tyre sizes. The 14" had a 205VR14 tyre size and the 15" quoted a 205R15, but most cars with 15" wheels were soon fitted with the improved 215/70VR15 size. Blockley produce both these tyre sizes - see details below.
