Maserati - Maserati Mexico
The Maserati Mexico was built on a shortened chassis of the first version of the Maserati Quattroporte, and as such had the same 4.7 litre V8, but also had a 4.2 litre capacity option. The bodywork was the design of Vairo at Vignale who had built a replacement body on a accident damaged 5000GT chassis, which Maserati decided to use on a model. And since that car had been bought by the President of Mexico the new Maserati got called the Mexico.
Maserati Mexico original tyre fitment was initially 205VR15, but as soon as the improved handling 215/70VR15 tyre became available, this is what was fitted in period. Blockley produces an excellent 215/70VR15 tyre suitable for the Maserati Mexico, full details of which are at the link below. Please note that in period it was recommended that inner tubes be used with the Mexico wheels, and we produce this tube, with metal nickel plated stem as was available then.
