That one looks very nice indeed.
What a nice colour combination just lovely and obviously a Maserati enthusiast has owned it.
I would be having a chat with him to see where he values it asap.

If I was after a manual I’d be straight on to that! I just looked at a very nice auto yesterday, so it’s looking like I’m sorted …

This red one with AC factory options looks very nice and clean, although I doubt if park distance control was ever offered as a factory option on a 3200 (it is a nice option to have though). Also the comment about the rare grey carpet appears to be incorrect, since grey was the carpet colour on most 3200’s.

The red one does look good and recent works done by a well respected Indie too so if any one interested aphone call would confirm.
The whole car looks amazing.
Don't know how they measure clutch wear other than a visual inspection and parking sensors well worth having.

Yes it’s been priced to fly! Giallo have a very similar manual for sale in the same colour - one owner car, 40K on the clock - but that’s priced at £26,995 and it is an AC.

That red car has been for sale for a while, it’s started off at £25k.
It looks really good for the money so I’m surprised it hasn’t sold, I’m starting to wonder what is up with it.

Yes, it does look good, but people will be put off because it's a manual; they'll worry about crank end float. I've been looking to buy a 3200 for a little while, and it seems to me that cars above 20K maybe be more difficult to shift. I think, whatever the mileage, people will be concerned about some age related deterioration and the relatively high of cost of repair. In the end, I decided to go for a lower priced more high mileage car that's in regular use, which has had a lot of the usual problems dealt with.

What would worry me about a MD serviced car is that the MD team don’t know 3200s anymore, and trust me you need a specialist with these cars.

The black auctioned car on eBay is the one you want….. lol

After taking my car to sportsItalia I’d say Main Dealer’s don’t know much about the modern stuff either..

I see there’s a 3200 on Trade Classics which is making a very slow start; at just £1k with 2 days to go. It was on eBay for quite a long time before it appeared on Trade Classics. On a broader note, I was watching the Silverstone Auction yesterday afternoon and there seemed to be quite a bit that wasn’t reaching reserve …

An automatic in Oxfordshire; a low mileage car in an attractive colour combination with a very extensive write up.

Laughable that the write-up harps on about the amazing documented history. It’s only had 1 service in the last 10 years!!!
Even with a very low mileage car I’d like to see a minimum of a minor service every couple of years or so.
