I do not want to undermine the likes of David Askew, who I know is well regarded on here, but I just wanted to share my experience with classiccarspares2015 on eBay who often has Maserati items for sale.
In my case, Matthew helped me out with my BMW Z4 and he was extremely helpful.
I managed to rupture the fuel tank (pin sized hole but enough of a problem). A new tank from Sopers Lincoln (who offer the best prices for dealers with a Z4 forum discount) was over £1k. A second hand tank was £43 delivered. Matthew even pulled one out from another car he was breaking that was the same age/model as mine just in case there were any differences. Matthew was also very helpful in ensuring the tank got to my garage (The Motorist Centre, Sturry - also recommended for run of the mill work on a daily rather than a Maserati) on time for when the car was booked in.
Local dealer wanted £2,400 for the entire job, and wouldn't consider fitting a second hand tank, so Matthew and TMC saved me a LOT of money.
Also thanks to Dave at D W Recovery in Herne Bay (07748 010035) who collected my car, having been recovered home by the AA, and took it to the garage.
