Set in the picturesque hills above Bologna and Italys Motor Valley, the second edition of the Concorso di Eleganza Palazzo di Varignana 1705 in Bologna was held on September 28, 2024. We are incredibly proud to share that Bacchelli & Villa’s recent restoration project, 1960 Maserati 3500 GT Spider by Vignale AM101.1095, was awarded Best Restoration.

Originally delivered via Tepenier of Saint Cloud in 1960, the only Maserati importer of France, AM101.1095 was ordered with hard top, wire Borrani wheels, and tool kit which were presented with the car at the Concorso di Eleganza. Its first owner, noted French architect Maitre Jacque Fidier, was a serial Maserati and Ferrari collector.

Our team at Bacchelli & Villa meticulously addressed every detail to honor the car’s rich heritage from the onset of this restoration. The scope of this comprehensive restoration included coachwork, paint, mechanical, upholstery, and electrical restoration. This recognition not only reflects our dedication to craftsmanship but also celebrates the timeless beauty and significance of the 3500 GT Spider, which we are honored to have been trusted to faithfully restore.
