Maserati Granturismo Sport 4.7 MC
I bought this car from Dicky Grace in March 2018, where it had just had a front end respray to address a few stone chips, and the wheels were fully refurbed. In the 7000 miles since it has picked up minor stone chips etc., and one minor car park dink in the left door. The 20” Neptune wheels are completely un-kerbed but the lacquer has started to lift a in a couple of corners, only noticeable when on your hands and knees cleaning them!
Before me it was owned by another forum member (Felonius Crud) for I think 6 years, so it is a quite well known car around these parts. He had the gearbox software updated to that of the Ferrari 599 GTO, and an X-Pipe fitted (but the original silencer will be included as well).
I've had it serviced for the last 5 years by renowned specialists Emblem Sportscars in Poole, who know the car pretty well now. It was with them for some work just last week and I can provide their inspection report and a video of their Maserati expert Myles reviewing the underside, and potential buyers are very welcome to chat to them about the car. Prior to that it has always had specialist (or, initially, main dealer) servicing. I have a file full of receipts and records.
I love the car but given I work from home or London, and have other cars and projects, I simply don’t use it enough these days to justify keeping it. Plus, after 5 years I’m ready for a change. Hence initially putting it up here to gauge interest from the forum, before I widen the net to other sales platforms.
Price-wise, really not sure - advice gratefully received!
[Full disclosure: the images below are a couple of years old (need to take some decent ones – if it ever stops raining!), I’ve since returned the stripes on the grill to black.]
