Bernard Guénant of Le Trident lives in what he jokingly calls “the French Far-West.” He bought his first Maserati in 1984, one of the very last Indy America 4.9-litre, and from that moment the passion grew into a remarkable collection and a workshop dedicated to the Trident, working on inline-six, V6 and V8 models alike. Over the years, he insisted that clients avoid shortcuts and treat the cars with the complete restorations they deserved, a philosophy that became the foundation of the atelier. Since the end of 2024, however, Bernard has handed over his business activities with Le Trident, and the new ownership is no longer deeply involved in classic Maserati restoration. His contribution in the book, therefore, belongs to a specific era, and his chapter stands as a time capsule of that period.
