    Hi guys. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 08 Maserati GT 4.2. 50,000kms. Car looks in pretty good condition inside and out although two small covers near the lights are missing. Owner says they fell off? Anything I should be looking for in particular?

    Classic Maserati on Old Top Gear Episode

    Stumbled on this the other day. Some of the Masers of yesteryear, including the Mistral. Family member had one of these in the 70s which back then in Perth, Australia, he tells me was akin to a UFO landing. Unbelievably rare and the only car he regrets selling to this day (had/has a garage...
