    Was this car on display at Bicester Heritage in April last year per chance? If its the same one I saw there, did you own it then or purchase it since then? Beautiful colour combo -looked stunning in the sunshine.

    CHURCHILL INSURANCE RENEWAL PREMIUM UP 40%

    Conversely, I'm also with Admiral on a multi-car policy. Just renewed 2 of the cars with them as couldn't get them any cheaper like for like. The AA offered a £100 saving over Admiral on my XC90 so switched that across. Suspended the Maser' for the moment until it's back on the road in March -...

    Gas seems to be going way too fast in 19 gransport

    Just to clarify everyone... "The British Imperial gallon is 4.54 L (160 fl oz), while the US Customary gallon is 3.78 L (128 fl oz)." So, mpg in the US will appear worse as a direct comparison 11.125L v 9.45L

    Alarm beeps on and off

    I must admit I'll keep mine on, although it annoys me, it gives my neighbours a 30 second warning that peace is about to be shattered!

    QPV FAQ (probably)

    Yes I do. No complaints whatsoever, very efficient and knowledgeable and can be pragmatic about recommending options for parts - ie if there's a perfectly good alternative they know about, then they will suggest it. And yes they have some very exotic stuff in there most of the time Cheers Ian

    QPV - Alloy Wheel colour code?

    That sounds a tad high, including VAT maybe. I'm assuming that is for tyres off, any necessary repairs/prep but not necessarily a full strip, refit tyres and balance. If they're not taking tyres off, I'd haggle.

    QPV - Alloy Wheel colour code?

    Yes I did. It's subtle and I added a red pin line on the inside of the rim.

    Maseratis - Spotted

    SBR Engineering Aylesbury had a black GT 'AB59 MAS' in for work. Dropped my QP off there this morning. My word he has some exotic stuff in there. I don't think the combined value of the 2 Maser's would come close to anything else he had in the shop
