Farewell Turin Factory

[Michael Oxman]

Just saw that Maserati is looking to sell the old Bertone factory now that it is turning it's sights to SUVs. I'm good for a few dollars of anyone is interested in forming a consortium to purchase.

Historic Maserati factory, home of Bertone's brilliance, is listed for sale - Hagerty Media

A manufacturing monument of Italian automotive history, Bertone's Grugliasco plant made star cars like the Giulietta Sprint and 850 Spider.

The writing was on the wall as they only ever produced a couple of maserati models and lately only the bodies were made at the factory, it really only survived due to Sergio Marchionne wanting to keep premium Fiat Group brands in Italy and part of that was saving the Bertone site since the merger u will see alot more consildation and off shoring

Part of me always wonders how much valuable history of the x19 was lost once Bertone lost this site, valuable production details and info etc that could have so cool to have

Unfortunately Stellantis has gone on a bit of selling drive and sold of alot of the historic sites Lingotto and now the old Bertone factory, slowly the Fiat auto group is dissapearing such a shame

Some items did get saved and moved to the design centre at Caprie, but they too were inevitably sold and almost certainly in the minority. You could of had one of the factory roof letters back in the 2018 auction:
