I have still had no real viewings on my 3200, despite it being one of the cheapest for sale, so will be putting it on ebay this weeekend. Here is the pistonheads link for it in case anyone knows someone who wants one...

Found a mag called Modern Classics in WHSmiths today and was initially tempted by the article on 205s, but then I saw the group test. This was between a 3200GT, BMW M6, Bentley, Jag XK8 and AM DB7. Have a guess what car they liked best...

Hi, somewhat reluctantly I am putting my Maserati 3200gt automatic up for sale. The reason for the sale is the well-documented battle I had with HR at work who have succeeded in taking my car allowance away from me, unless I use it on a car that meets certain safety criteria. Anyway, enough...

Hi, just a reminder about the excellent Italian Car (and Bike) Show at Honnington Farm just outside Tunbridge Wells, on 6th September, starting at 10am. With clement weather, it is a great day out with loads of Italian exotica, alongside ferret racing and duck herding, if that is your thing...

My youngest son and I spend the weekend vacuuming, washing, clay barring and polishing the Maserati ready to take my eldest to his school prom on Tuesday. I think it looks fantastic, shame I had to wait till the sun went down to finish it off. Then after this event and the LASER club meet on...

My Maserati warning sign education continues; I've so far had - RCY symbol - cured by fixing gearbox oil leak - ABS symbol - cured by refurbing ABS ECU - Check Engine symbol - cured by replacing duff ignition coil And now I have the ERROR symbol, something to do with the suspension, I...

My 3200 has been running intermittently rough for a while and now seems to be running on 7 cylinders all the time. I had a look under the bonnet and before I did battle with the coil and plug covers, I noticed a broken wire in the loom going into the left hand bank of plugs. I took the...

Help! I get a company car allowance, which enables me to fund the Maserati. However, due to reasons too complex to worry about, come September 1st, the car I use for work has to meet several criteria; Driver/Passenger airbags - check, ESP - check (I think?), EuroNCAP rating of 4 or above -...

Hi, after only a few days with my 3200GT auto, I realised it was much more comfortable and natural to use my left foot to brake with. Does anyone else do that in a 3200? Or a 4200CC for that matter? Antony

Hi, is there any way to stop the alarm going off on a 2000 3200gt? Will everything still work if I remove the alarm ecu? I'm not robbing one, just trying to get mine to work! Antony

So, after 2000 miles in just over 2 weeks, I took the 3200 to Giallos to have the gearbox oil leak fixed, only to be told that my NSF top wishbone mount captive nut needs welding. This explains the inside wear on the front tyres. Fine, I thought, no problem, I thought, but apparently the engine...

Hi, is anyone going to this in 3 weeks time? I am taking the Maserati along with my mates 997 Turbo S. Neither are french, but will still be a nice way to travel.

Hi, I have just done over 1400 miles in the week after buying a 3200gt. I didn't sell my Alfa in case the Maserati wasn't what I hoped, but it is everything I hoped for and more, so the Alfa has to go, unfortunately. My advert is on Pistonheads so if anyone fancies a look at a good 156 GTA...

Hi, my ipad owning mate sent me this link to a brief 3200/4200/GS buying guide in the latest edition of Evo mag. I couldn't find it on the shelves of my local newsagent, so it must be delivered early in the ipad version. Nothing we don't already know, but a fun read all the same...

Hi, when I collect my 3200 in early August, hopefully, it will be kept outside as my garage won't take anything bigger than my 205. Are there any special hints or tips about keeping a Maserati 3200 outside? I ask this with particular attention to the bonnet vents and a concern about...

Hi, I couldn't find any mention of this, so here is a plug for the Kent Italian Car and Bike day at Honington Country Fair near Tunbridge Wells on 7th September. Given good weather, it is a very pleasant day out with an increasing number of tasty Italian metal on display. Usually plenty...

Another stupid question from Macaroni, but does anyone have any idea why Ferrari replaced the Maserati twin turbo V8 with their own 4.2l V8 for the 4200? Was it cost, or complexity (turbos/chains/belts) or just professional pride? Answers on a postcard to...

Hi, I hear that the 3200s were improved in 2001; OBD2, better build quality etc, but I want to know when in 2001 and if possible, after which chassis numbers. Can anyone shed light on this please? Antony
