Advert says needs some TLC but doesn't say what......Engine and gearbox good accord to what they say.

Looks pretty good in the pictures cheap way into our club but i remember the woes that Spike had with his 3200 and the money he spent on his and then lost hence he no longer has and is now driving a German car.

He did have probs but it was sorted in the end.....

An early 3200 is not the best of the cars but if you picked it up for 5k it's cheap!!!

If engine and gearbox is fine then it must be cosmetic.....Maybe..?

It is indeed an early (1999) car, but it has the later type airbag. It could have been changed as a result of a failure, but also as a result of a damage.

What was the airbag change from early cars? - I've never noticed a difference!

The dark grey/blue clock also shows it's a very early one.

This is an early type airbag (look at the plastic Maser logo in the centre):

And this is a later type:

Never seen one of the plastic badges, even on early UK cars! It somehow doesnt look original...

My 1999 car was slightly older than the grey one on this thread (it was T reg, not a V reg) but it had a leather rather than plastic badge....pretty sure it would've come with that and had never been in an accident.

I am sure the plastic badges were original on the early 3200's. Here is one other example:

Chaps, the car in question is a repossession hence why there is no service history with the vehicle – there is however, an invoice from an Italian independent showing an engine rebuild at a cost of 9000 Euros.

Personally, if one was to buy this car and then spend a few thousand on bringing it back up to a high standard then it may be a lost cause. It will always be a car with its history missing and never be worth anything like the others which are being offered for only a few thousand more.

That steering wheel looks ugly!!!!!!
