    Modern Classics needs... A blue Maserati GranSport

    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.

    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...

    Maserati 228 for sale

    Not my car or anything to do with me but spotted while researching another car in the sale. Thought some of you may be interested... http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/classic-auctions/latest-classic-car-catalogue/saturday-26th-august-2017/1989-maserati-228-lhd/

    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...

    Modern Classics magazine is in need of a 4200 Coupe

    Hello all – hope you are all well. I'd like to thank you for your advice on the 3200, even if I haven't bought one, and hope that you enjoyed the Ghibli II feature that's in the June issue (it was positive...). The big group test with the Quattroporte V feature comes out next week – it...

    Modern Classics magazine needs a Quattroporte (and other news)

    In fairness, we placed a 3200 ahead of a BMW M6, Bentley Continental GT, Jaguar XKR and an Aston Martin DB7 in issue three. And while the QP didn't win the test, the E39 M5 didn't win the saloons group test in issue two.

    Maserati 3200 running costs

    Having thought about it a great deal, I alas think it's a bit too much of a stretch, especially as I'm not a hands-on mechanic (the engine swap on the W123 took rather a long time, if anyone reads Classic Cars magazine...) Also if the worst happens, there aren't many Maserati specialists...
