    New Back Boxes Fitted

    The lock down gave me the opportunity to use the ramp in the garage next door which is closed for business just now. Posts on here suggested it was a straightforward job that could be done in the driveway. I've got to say that I couldn't have done it without the ramp. Fitting new Larini boxes...

    Maserati Owners Club weekend at Gleneagles

    Popped over there today for a little drool. I have never seen so many Maserati in the one place - over 140. I think I have now seen most models in the flesh, so to speak. 9 Indys, 2 MC Victories, Mexicos, Ghiblis, 3500 GTs and a Quattroporte Estate. Wanted to see a Shamal and a Bora but couldn't...

    Three years with my 3200

    I have now had my 1999 Maserati 3200 for almost three years and so far it has been a great experience although I do keep the 'forecasters of doom' in mind and I am prepared for the predicted kick in the nuts. She has just turned 44,000 miles and the only trouble so far was the alarm fob...

    Maseratis in Spain

    Driving down to Madrid I saw 3 new Maseratis on a transporter being delivered and then coming back I saw a Gransport on a trailer at Bilbao. It was apparently being repatriated after having a problem in Spainin.

    Rubber Injector Boots

    I hope to replace my rather frayed looking injector boots during the cars hibernation period and remember a thread on that subject. The trouble is that I can't seem to find it now. I'm looking for a supplier of rubber corrugated boots and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction...

    If Carlsberg did postage and packing

    If Carlsberg did postage and packaging, they would have to go some to beat Maserati parts suppliers. I bought a new side light/indicator unit for my 3200 and boy was it well packed. It was in a solid wooden box. The wood was an inch thick, the box was 2 feet high and over a foot square and...

    A year with my 3200

    Well the first anniversary of my time with a 3200 manual has come and gone and although I haven't done as many miles as I would have liked, she has performed faultlessly. I took her to Phil at PK Supercars for her annual going over and as usual, the service could not be faulted. Got her back...

    Maserati Brand Awareness

    I always knew that Maserati was a strong brand but thought that it was mainly amongst 'more mature' people or young petrolheads but it does seem to be across the board. I had the 3200 sitting in the driveway today and was pottering about behind the hedge and couldn't be seen. A family went past...

    Why do I have a big grin on my face?

    Brought the 3200 back from PK to her new home today. Still 5 3200s there. I can't praise Phil and Kirsty enough. It was a pleasure to deal with them and I recommend PK very highly. It was the first time I had done any miles in her and I got out grinning from ear to ear. She felt really...

    A Step Closer to My Masser

    I had my offer accepted today on a 32 manual, so this will be my first Maserati I visited PKSupercars to see the car listed on their website but ended up offering on another car which was being sold on behalf of a customer. Three visits to view the car and to pour over the paperwork were made...

    Comparing 3200 gts

    I've considered some 3200 gts since Xmas, starting nearer home but didn't really expect to find a car which ticked most of the boxes right away. However, looked at a really nice car with low mileage and good service history on Thursday and plan to return to examine the service history more...

    Newbie planning to buy a 3200

    I've read the majority of posts on this forum to acquaint myself with the possible problems in owning a Maserati and it's reassuring to find that it seems the pleasure far outweighs the pain. I hope to learn from the experience of others and take heed of all the recommendations that have been...
