The Maserati Mexico was a luxurious 2+2, designed by Vignale and introduced at the 1966 Turin Auto Show. A combined total of 483 Mexicos were produced. The Mexico was initially equipped with a 4.2-liter V8, driving through a ZF transmission, and live rear axle. The interior was fitted with a beautiful wood dash and window trim. The lovely Connolly leather interior featured thick Wilton wool carpets, and all cars were air conditioned. Later Mexicos were fitted with 4.7-liter engines. There was also one produced with 4.9-liter engine, and strangely one was special ordered with a 3.7 Liter straight six cylinder. Power steering was an option (an important one); if you can find one with power steering you are better off. Although standard steering cars can be a little bit heavy in parking situations, on balance they have good road feel and offer simplicity.
