oh, and I once saw a Maserati Racing long time ago, and I thought huh? sounded like V8, so I drove after him when he stopped at a petrol stop an asked him about it, yes he said there is a Shamal V8 under the bonnet of this racing, very rare :-)

The Racing used a 24 valve 2 litre v6 that was the precursor to the Ghibli 2.0 engine used in the Open Cup.
Certainly not a shamal v8.
There was a Ghibli GT that had a v8 from the 3200 fitted after a terminal engine failure, and also I know of a Ghibli in Europe that had a Chevy ls7 installed in it.

I've always quite fancied one of these era Maserati's but in coupe format.

No need for a convertible one as I have a convertible E30 325i with a 2.7 to tick the summer pub lunch car box.
