I expect just about everyone else to disagree with me (again)

No you don't.

I agree with lots of the above, and think the answer depends on whether this would a) be your only car, or one of several, and b) what type of driving you want to do in it.
I owned a Granturismo S as my daily driver, and it was lovely. However, it then morphed into being a weekend toy, and (IMO) it’s too big and too heavy to really enjoy on English country lanes.
Jon's right, the GT variants are big old lumps. Amazing GT car, but for all that anyone might say 'it shrinks around you', actually doesn't. It's still nigh-on 2t, 5m long and 2m wide. Near as dammit the same footprint as a Landie Disco. That said, they're practical, sound divine and are achingly beautiful. And, let's not forget a lot of fun to drive. Just not as sharp as a GS.
Sharper than a QP though?

The GS in your list is a Forum Members car, and a bargain.
It's also gorgeous. Argento Luna is a beautiful colour on the GS.

The 4.2 GT will have the variators as a shadow hanging over your ownership.
The QP lovely as it is, is a diesel.
Do you want a motorway muncher or something to have a bit of fun in?
Have you stolen it from my garage without me noticing?I know of a low miles 4200 face lift with GS front that is about to come onto the market. PM me if of interest
