I am still searching. Looks like I have to go out of London and travel to find my perfect car.

Anyone know this dealer?

http://www.ccspecialistcars.co.uk/search_page.php?location_id=1

Or the MC shift they have?

It looks a bit too pimped out for my liking. Dark windows and red badges but might be worth a look anyway.

Are there any local Maserati dealers near them I could get the car checked out at?

Thanks for your help.

The red badge car has been spoken about before...The front red badge I don't mind but yes the dark windows not for me.................The Grancab looks like too much money to me when you can get the Grancab Sport for that money and its a better car.......

This face lift car s not much more and a SPort..

Thanks

When you say the red badge has been talked about before can you point me to the thread. I can't find anything g when I search.

Or rather it brings up a lot of results!

I can bet that all black one with red badges was a footballers car! Pimp my ride spec :D

What a way to spoil a lovely car. It's like taking an Italian supermodel to Primark !

:D My Cayenne was too - it is one of the highest spec'd cars in the country and had black windows all round - most of these with the black windows are footballers cars. I had to get mine professionally taken off as even during the day I could hardly see outside the car - the wife refused to drive it :D

When we took the rear tints off it emerged that it already had sun protection glass!!!!!!!!! Tints on top of tints WTF! Only a footballer could have done that :)

I would think its not that car. There is another heavily modified GTS on ebay with red badges etc. I looked into that car before buying mine and it had way too many mods for my liking. According to some pics of that car on Instagram (search #MCshift) it has had engine mods done too but the buyer declined this when I asked him.

Not sure...Nuvola's had red badges all round, dark windows, black wheels and same colour leather...It went of their website and then this one appeared a few days later....

These I think are the sportline model of which only 12 were made.

It is 10mm lower and has a different suspension setup. Plus carbon fibre internal and external.

Well that is what it says on Wikipedia!

I would have been interested. But this particular one has 4 owners which is a bit off putting for me.

Search continues.

Hmm I don't think that is true Im afraid....the seller himself told me that this car has had the MC Sportline Carbon bits fitted by ordering them directly from Formula Dynamics in the USA - it did not leave the Maserati Factory like this. I even asked him if he would consider selling the parts to make his car back to factory spec so that I could put them on mine and he declined and said it would be too much hassle for him to take them all off even though the original bits are lying in his garage.

PS - 4 previous owners is not a big deal on cars like this. In fact most of the 2008-2009 cars I viewed had an average of 3-4 owners each. You would be VERY lucky to find a 1 owner earlier MC shift :)

Id rather have a 4 owner car with a solid pedigree and history than a 1 owner car where the chap has cut corners by fitting his own brake pads etc, doing his own oil changes etc...think of it this way - if someone owned a car for 12 months (1 owner per year) they will treat it with much respect as it is their "new" pride and joy and most likely look after it without cutting any corners :)
