Original Toronto Star caption: That; Sir; is a Maserati; and you can have a crack at buying the exotic Italian sports car when Canada Customas holds its quarterly auction tomorrow. Vigilatore Carmen shows of the machine; a mint-condition; 1968 mistral model capable of 130 miles an hour. Canada Customs men won't say why the car was seized; but admit they're captivated by its sleek lines. I just had to go and have a look at it; one said.
