History

A Spyder version was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1964. It was first built with a 3.5 litre engine and later fitted with the 3.7 and 4.0 litre engines of the coupe.

Kidston states that production of the coupe and Spyder lasted until 1970. The Maserati data sheets give 1964 to 1969.
