    Not sure our finance department would sign that off, sadly...

    I'll get on this now, this is poor form.

    Modern Classics needs... A blue Maserati GranSport

    Yep, it's a slightly different format to the straight road test and an ambitious shooting schedule. I can explain via PMs for commercial reasons – I will admit, however, that this isn't one for everyone.

    Did the receipt thing get sorted in the end?

    Modern Classics needs... A blue Maserati GranSport

    Thankyou for the kind comments! It's a long time coming. The next issue has something of an Italian flavour, and 4200 owners will find it very interesting. It's out on November 1st. Not only but also: I'm expecting some hostility from 3200 owners ;)

    Modern Classics needs... A blue Maserati GranSport

    Hi Ewan, I did consider an MC Victory as Dicky has/had one and is fairly close to Manchester but the GS is part of a three-car feature at a certain price point, and an MC-V is significantly more. Pity as I'm intrigued by how different it feels to a normal GS, in particular with regards to the...

    Modern Classics needs... A blue Maserati GranSport

    Hello all – Modern Classics is in need of a Maserati GranSport for a forthcoming issue of the magazine. This request is a big ask, and suits cars for which mileage isn't a concern – or letting a journalist (me, in this case) borrow it for a few days – given the nature of this particular...

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    It's more the final positioning of the cars. I did agree with the winner, though... just remember if reading that the single page conclusion isn't the end of the feature before hitting me (in particular) passing judgement :)

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    It's out tomorrow – here's a shot of the cover. I know there was some disquiet about the QP's positioning, but it is right near the masthead... I will reiterate there are two opinions ;)

    The QP provoked a lot of office debate – so there's two verdicts...

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    Regarding the GranSport – it's something I'd like to do but we've done a Quattroporte V pre-facelift, a 3200, a Ghibli II Cup, a Ghibli II 2.8 and a Quattroporte V facelift, and we've got another couple of features on the horizon so it may take time to get around to a full feature...

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    Alas I've just bought a 147 GTA. Though surely yours is worth more than that?

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    I keep staring at the one on Mr Grace's site in the same manner as a St Bernard looking through the window of a butcher's shop. Alas I'm somewhat short... I've also chucked a few pictures from last year's Silverstone Classic on our Facebook page if anyone's interested...
