To say a stream of sporty motors breezed south through Ellemford one Sunday morning is a bit of an understatement. From before 10am to after 11am the Maseratis were followed with the utmost respect and restraint by a 4 cylinder 16V Clio. Enjoying the beautiful Scottish Borders roads on the Maserati Club North Berwick Rally both modern and classic models burbled into Duns Newtown Street. Above, Bill is leaving the museum by the book to reach lunch in time which would be no problem for this Maserati Spyder 90th Anniversary with Ferrari-sourced 4.2-litre 4-cam 32 valve V8 engine sounding pretty special as it left.
