Qp gts

Great to see my old car looking so good, I still miss it!

Seems a good price for a low mileage example ????

 

[Ewan]

Yep. Good value. Though you'd need to budget for respraying the sills, rear doors and rear arches to get rid of the road-rash that is evident on black QP's.

By the way, on a related topic, I'm looking to sell my GTS as I have a new car lined up for January. So if anyone fancies a fantastic example of the best looking QP ever, in the best colour, please do PM me. And for pictures, go back to the beginning of this thread!

Would have had your car Ewan but i fear I would have ruined all the good work you have done maintaining it as a QP for me would be a daily, which is where I am stuck at moment, QP or a weekend GT/GS.

I take it you have found a Med Blu Stradale !!!

This is a GT S Spec, although my interior writing on the carbon n/s said only Quattroporte, so not sure whether it's a really spec'd out GT.

If you zoom in you can just make out the sport GT badges on pillars and above glove box.

This back car is a Sport, not a GTS. Looks lovely though and is the next best variant after the GTS. I see this black one as more desirable than the standard grey car in the other link, and better value for money.

I best do the lottery Ewan.....My favourite QP for sale.

I haven't done the lottery in 20 years but I might give it a go until the inevitable sold appears, unless it's the same price as Ewan's last QP then i'm on it if I sell the 4200 at a giveaway price

Congratulations - you've "won" by not losing, the price of two clutch replacements, assuming £5/week not spent!

And what a shame you didn't buy that from me, it was an exceptional car which is still going strong with no issues over a year later.

Didn't have the money at the time , nobody was more disappointed than me

when I look at the luck geoff capes (mark) has had with his 4200 I do appreciate all my issues have been minor but I do regret not buying a QP

 

[GeoffCapes]

At the end of the day, no one wants to shell out a few grand here and there to fix their car.
However, when it is working it's worth every penny. And I don't regret buying it for one second.

All it does is make a dent in my GT fund, and stop me buying a low mileage Alfa 155 V6.

 

[D Walker]

I agree, never regretted buying mine.....

 

[philw696]

Me too they are such good cars I'm on my second which everyone knows was a Project car and could have been broken up if I hadn't bought it.
She know enjoys epic road trips down here in NZ

 

[Wack61]

On reflection regret is a bit strong I've enjoyed every minute I've driven the 4200 , at the time it was looking like my only way into maserati ownership was a 4200 so I went for

The problem is every time I see a really nice QP I want it, med blue would always be my first choice of colour

 

[Ewan]

From a 4200 to a QP is a natural progression. Going directly to a QP GTS would merely be making the most of said progress.

 

[Wack61]

3 months ago it might have been a possibility but now I have a 220 B class and a wife with a smile so there's no chance

I was very interested in the qp gts that was up for sale before I bought the merc but the 6k they offered for the 4200 was laughable so I went for the happy wife = happy life option
