What do we think?

I'd be interested to see the cylinder heads on this one, I knew that Maserati experimented with 6 valve cylinder heads in the 1980s but I never knew they'd put an engine into production with 5.333 valves per cylinder!

Looks to be good value, lots of paperwork but a little tidying to do. Pity its a spacker shift

Oh Frank...that started to get me interested.....Money pit or batgain...??????......If it was manual I may have taken a trip out there...

 

[Parisien]

A pretty rare beasty then, if it runs, isn't rotten.....hhhhmmmm

As a Ghibli 11 it's a much better car than the first one from what I can gather...

Good Lord. I love it. £4995 is peanuts for a classic piece of the 90s.

I hate this forum.

That must be worth a gamble.

Wonder is he'll take £4k.....

 

[Parisien]

...aint you gunna stick her up on a lift before.....even offering £4k?

Still tempted myself but really don't want an Auto

The fiesta was what the monster truck ran over all weekend at Carfest. Ghibli looks good at that money.

1994 model so 16" wheels and no ABS.

Lovely looking interior though and maybe a bargain for the brave.

Thoughts on this?

Been for sale for a while...As these models do I suppose..........Always looks in great condition and well looked after...Forerunner to the Ghibli and it this is what ou are looking for not sure there are many better ones out there but an inspection etc would confirm.

 

[dickygrace]

Looks like a beautiful example, go for it.

 

[Andyk]

Tend to agree with Dicky...If this is your thing grab it now....Think the original advert was for around 7k.

 

[outrun]

You're supposed to talk me out of it, not into it!

Tempting but how would I get it from France? Not enough time (or balls) to drive it back to Scotland.

Darn it. Want it.

Ach.

 

[rossyl]

Drive to North Spain and get a ferry from there? http://www.seat61.com/Motorail.htm#.UgJzntKceXk

That's perfectly do-able.

Crossed wires, I was saying go for it to the 222SR, I'd say that's better value in my opinion as it's not in need of work as far as I'm aware. It sounds like the Ghibli may need a partial respray or possibly more. I was also figuring out whether it was worth the trip to the South of France, I won't jump on it if enthusiasts are interested.
