POSSIBLE PRE PRO MASERATI BORA?

Post by davidlet »

Hi everybody,
I won this Maserati bora w/ white interior on Ebay last week (a bit too expensive but I wanted it very much).
What do you think of it... Would it be considered a pre pro?
Thanks
regards

Hi David
I would have said it was a plastics trial model more than a prepro, still a great model and very hard to find. Thanks for the great pictures.

Defo a late Pre Pro/Trial in my opinion, the base is the one used on the Later gold coloured model.

Tim is right about the base, if you look at the front and rear axle mouldings they have a centre gap, this coupled with white interior makes this a late issue pre pro/colour trial, nice acquisition and good spot with the interior.

Yes, the base is not rare Jason but the moulding shown is a later issue which I should have clarified, found on the silver painted bases of the Gold bodies and also the black Hong Kong versions, as you say the rarity is the white interior, cheers.
