Delivered new to France via famed Maserati importer Thepenier on 18 July 1972, this Indy was first owned by a Parisian stockbroker. According to noted historian Marc Rabineau, the car was finished in Marrone Colorado over Senape hide and equipped with optional power steering plus a radio. Come 1984, this 4.7-litre example was acquired by a doctor named Yves Duclos Grenet, who would later preside over the Aston Martin Owners Club of France. Four years later, he commissioned a colour change to the official Maserati shade of Verde Pino before enjoying the 286 horsepower V-8 engine on a variety of tours and rallies.

After 13 years of ownership, Dr Grenet sold the Indy to a Renault Agent in Tulle before, in 2000, the car was purchased by the Meaux-based former Vice President of Club Maserati France. After a 2012 repaint in Verde Pino by Carrosserie Delpippo of Montreuil, the car was acquired at auction by The Curated Collection of Belgium in October of the following year. Upon inspection, the Indy was found to retain its matching-numbers engine.

Believed to be one of only 364 examples of the Indy equipped with the 4,719-cc engine, and with five owners from new, this brawny grand tourer is sure to appeal to Maserati enthusiasts.
