GC Centennial - 2nd Time Lucky?

[Doctor Houx]

I was all set to buy a GC Centennial in exactly this colour and spec and had arranged for Matt to inspect it, when I suddenly got the urge to spend vastly more on a GT40

That car is totally nuts and Ive terrified myself racing it and don’t regret it for a moment, but it’s hardly suitable to take the Mrs away for a weekend, so I feel an addition to the fleet coming on!

Is the seller anyone on here and/or know seller and if this is the same car I saw and was sold at Giallo in Kent early 2021? There can’t be many of these around and I am really missing my old GC that I sold as I needed the garage space at the time. 2nd time lucky?

That is very pretty car
But I always get confused my the various models, this says is an MC yet is has gearshift (I thought the MC’s had 1 R buttons.

 

[Doctor Houx]

I think all GC’s are full auto boxes, whether it says MC shift or not. The previous one I looked at was Auto and that’s what I’m expecting with this one

 

[CatmanV2]

MC Auto is it? Faster shift times on the ZF box. I think @dickygrace has some very firm views that these are jolly good

I have a 2014 Centennial in this colour . Lovely place to be and very rare. Seems a good price, I was offered significantly more not that long ago, although mine has half that mileage and probably car prices have shifted again.

Get it bought Frank!

 

[Wattie]

Beautiful…..can understand why you’re tempted by that!

I met this guy at the Nurburgring end of May...he wasn’t tracking the GT though.
He was on some epic Euro trip through France, Monaco, Germany and the like.

He’s in the Maserati UK Facebook group as well, guy called Stuart Stinson

Lovely. A little on the high side for a private sale though I would have thought?

Oooooo…. Welcome back

 

[Chrisb2015]

Inchiostro is an incredible colour and really makes the car. Get it!

 

[Doctor Houx]

Oooooo…. Welcome back

Possibly Brian, but the seller needs to answer the phone or call me back first. No email contact allowed and it’s. Private seller.

 

[Bebs]

Good luck Frank

I think the phrase ‘find another’, is the order of the day here though. Very nice.

edit - there’s another one on AT!

 

[Doctor Houx]

Thanks to Bladerunner, I’ve established contact with the owner, and he is indeed Stuart whom he bumped into at the Nurburgring.

It is also exactly the same car I looked at in 2021 at Giallo, but he’s put over 10k miles on it since. However, he seems to have done a lot to it also to fix some stone chips and rusty bolts, and it’s currently looked after by SportsItalia so he says, so should be a good Un!

@conaero / Matt. Be good to have you confirm this a a well looked after car before I send him the deposit.

Hope it works out for you

 

[Bebs]

Stunning Frank - hope it comes together for you

 

[Sam McGoo]

Fingers crossed all is at it seems. Good luck Frank.

 

[Felonious Crud]

Good luck, Frank. It looks stunning, so hopefully it will soon look stunning with you and Mrs Dr Houx in it.
