Sold the car

Hi everyone.

I had been thinking about selling the car for a while and I finally managed to do it.
The "italian character" just got too much for me. I was worrying more and more about what could go wrong, I have less and less time to use the car and so she went. If I lived in the UK maybe I would have kept the car but here in Portugal there really isn't anywhere I can take the car to, apart from the main dealer. I had a great mechanic who really knew a lot about these cars but unfortunately he passed away last year.

I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help along the years. I had the Maserati for 5 and a half years and it was an interesting experience but I doubt I will ever have another one.
I'll keep checking the forum once in a while.

Cheers guys.

Completely understand. Local expertise is one of the main reasons I have the classic cars I have. Also the reason I no longer have the Jensen (nobody could tune the 6 pack carby properly, and the reason I won't buy a TVR with a TVR engine.

Well done Aredes on owning one that's a brave choice in Portugal and I love your country. I hope you will continue to post!

Always sad to see someone selling a Maser but I must admit with out a knowledgeable specialist owning one is madness

Thanks for the words guys.
I will definitely continue to post in any threads where my experience with the car can help.

From experience, you're going to feel financial relief today, you'll get into your normal German car tomorrow and think "Wow, what was I doing with a crazy Italian." You'll then somehow see a picture of your Gransport in the evening, and start hunting for the next one :thumb1: This is exactly what happened with me the last 5 times I sold my Maserati's and ESPECIALLY with the GS.
