After over five & half years together, it is time for the Stradale to be moved on and traded in for a younger model. It has been a great car and still is fantastic to own & to drive, and whoever owns it next will not be disappointed. It will be with @dickygrace soon should anyone like to be the next owner.
I am rather partial to the Granturismo however, borne out by the MC Shift I had before the Stradale and by the MC Trofeo which I also have so I have not strayed far with my younger model. My huge thanks go to @CLRut for being true to his word in contacting me first when he decided to move on from his beautiful 2016 Blu Mediterraneo Stradale after over five years of ownership. The car has been truly loved, driven & enjoyed and fastidiously maintained during Craig’s ownership, wanting for nothing. I remember seeing it advertised for sale just a few months after I bought my Stradale and straight away thought that it was just about the perfect Stradale for me. Craig and I stayed in contact throughout his ownership and I feel privileged to now be the car’s third owner. There were only three Stradales made for the UK in this colour – one 2011 two seater which has sadly been written off, a 2013 four seater with an exposed carbon bonnet, blue/white interior & which was spotted at FoS this year, and this car.
I have toyed with changing for another GT such as a Ferrari V12 but each time I got back into the Stradale, it felt very special and is destined to be an all-time great for Maserati.
Thank you once more Craig and don’t worry, I will take excellent care of it!
And as I have these three for one week only, I couldn’t resist taking a quick snap
