I would like to put my name down for a full set please

If its any help I used this chap (John Vines) in 2009 when I was purchasing my 3200. He was very thorough (as you would hope) and provided a 7 page report on his inspection and test drive http://www.classiccarinspector.co.uk/index.html

I'm looking to refurbish the bearings in the rear differential and wondered if the costs for the bearings from ES were a reasonable price? Lateral bearings are around £30 each excluding vat and the front bearing comes in at £160 ex vat if I remember correctly. David Askew suggested there are...

the scissor lift is more appealing to me I have to say, no posts to get in the way and you can usually park over them. I do have an inspection pit in the garage but I need to do it up really as its a bit damp and yucky

Whilst I'm not in the market for car mats just yet I thought I would see what is available and came across a place called Easirider who produce lambs wool over rugs. They very kindly sent me a couple of free samples, they look and feel like really good quality, nice and soft with a lovely deep...

I should have been a bit more specific on that, you're right they don't (as far as Im aware) work on anything like the granturismo, though Im sure they have had parts for QP and I think thats as modern as they go

Mcgrath Maserati also do used parts (as well as new) from some of the oldest to the more modern of the marque http://www.mcgrathmaserati.co.uk/parts/

Good to know, Ive ordered on this group buy and might order more for future spares when the next one comes around

I have seen Mowats before- as mentioned all his cars are in very good condition. This is the Gransport I would go for if I was in the market for one - this is where I found my 3200 for sale http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri00a.htm

Well done Phil, it looks fantastic and glad to hear someone is enjoying it
