I've bought a Cup

[DLax69]

Yeah but after how many attempts

C

To be fair, two of five!

 

[Nayf]

Great. Wasn’t aware they were also delivered in green exterior. Very nice

Apparently this is the only Cup in green.

I've finally gone and done it, I've joined the ranks of Maserati owners.
I've bought a Maserati Ghibli Cup, a RHD 2.0 – one of 24 remaining. It's a project and is with McGrath and will be for some time, but it's good to finally actually own one, rather than just write about them and hang around here like a bad smell. I'll be writing about the process for Classic Cars magazine, though the first instalment won't be for a while yet.

Its in the best place for the resto, I would be buying some linen cloth and expanding the depth of your pockets though , great colour combo and extremely soothing to the eye , I always thought Suburu used the cup in there design stages , Look forward to seeing her back on the road once again in fine fettle

Well done with buying the Cup. These Biturbo cars are simply wonderful.

If you are looking for a wooden MOMO steering wheel I’ve decided to replace this one. PM if interested.

 

[Malcolm Pearce]

Congratuations. I have owned T25CUP for over twenty years now. Probably my favourite of the all the cars I have been lucky enough to own. Sure you will enjoy it.

 

[Nayf]

Some words in the latest Classic Cars about the pre-buying

 

[Nayf]

Congratulations, what a great find. My Biturbo 430 is going down to McGrath's on 3rd July so will be in good company.

Is yours the white one?

 

[Nayf]

I’ve also bought this, the most unflattering item of clothing I think I’ve ever worn

 

[philw696]

When I had my 360 Modena I bought some clothing but never wore it leaving it in the car when I sold it

 

[zagatoes30]

Cool look forward to following the process of bringing it back to life, you only live once so might as well do some thing you dream of

Once and Ponce

Yes

Once and Ponce

Reminds me of the pub loo scene from 'Withnail & I' - "perfumed ponce!!"...

 

[zagatoes30]

Once and Ponce

Oops - you know what I mean

 

[Nayf]

Yes

Sounded throaty and gurgly (in a good way)

If you go down the route of repair I know a guy in the Netherlands who did a full repair of mine. While stripped he goes into the trouble of painting them. I got his contact details from Koni factory when i was inquiring, though he is independent.

I still went for the AS motorsport set but had them repaired as in the future I may want to go stock.

The picture shows them post rebuild and painted in koni red (originally were black in my QPIV but couldn't resist)

It's due back home on Thursday...

So, LH front electronic suspension wires have sheared off flush with top of damper rod, unable to repair.
If it is has defaulted into 4 that’s not a problem. If it’s defaulted into 1 or 2 AS Motorsport will be getting a call

Thanks for this great info. I've wondered where to send the shocks when needed as I like the originality and original feel. Mine still works fine after 25 years and 80K km. Nice and dry too. But eventually they will need refurb. I bought a good used set a few years ago but when I got them they were from Ottocilindri and not Evoluzione I suspect. Might work fine anyway.

My Thema has the electric Boge shocks and was a straight forward rebuild done at home but parts for the Koni are more difficult to source I've heard.

He is also a serious maserati enthusiast.

The guy strips the absorbers to pieces, paints, replaces the electronics. Basically delivers as good as new, if not better.
