Well, I've decided to use this post to record the trip from the UK to Modena in May. The Classiche Programme precertification form has been completed and the appraisal booked at the Maserati factory for Monday May 6th to Friday May 10th. My wife and I will take 4 days to drive to Modena and 4...

This has been a real 'labour of love'. But the car is singing now.

Just had the engine bay of my 916 Busso refurbished. Looking rather sparkly now. Very happy :D

I stumbled across this US Ferrari forum chat about the Ghibli II, with some insights and real-world experiences. Thought it might be of interest to several people here: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/anyone-with-ghibli-2-1992-1998-experience.656594/

So, next year probably mid May 2024 the plan is to drive the Ghibli from the UK to France (via the Eurostar) then on to Italy, Modena. To visit the Maserati factory, the Panini Motor Museum and spend a few nights in Modena, before driving back. It'll be a relaxed tour, probably 3 days to get...

After a mere 5 years of searching and trying all of my Ghibli contacts (US, UK, Japan, Italy, Holland, Germany) I've finally stumbled across a superb condition complete front grille, now on its way from Italy. So, for my next project I'm going to start looking into recreating these, using...

Anyone going along to this? It's just down the road from me, so providing it's not raining stair-rods I'll probably be there. Starts at 10:00. Bit more info here...

So, tickets for hotel (basic Mecure next to the track), event and Director's Terrace (just for the great view) all booked. We'll get there on the Saturday then avoid a super early start on the Sunday morning. Turn it into a mini-break for me and Mrs GP. Got a display ticket but am in with a...

This is fascinating to watch, and really gave me a boost today. To think that the life of our classics might not only be prolonged but we'd be helping the environment as well. I love the approach that environmentally friendly transportation doesn't have to be one thing (EVs), or another, it can...

I've been looking for a replacement front grille (with the later oval Maserati badge) for my late 90s Ghibli for years. Can't find one anywhere. However, I can find a late 90s Quattroporte IV series front grille that looks on the face of it (in pictures) to be identical. But the part numbers...

Have you stuck the Ghibli in 'Park' Dad? You know what happened last time...

Wondered if anyone else fancies this Italian car meet just outside Alton in Hampshire, on Saturday April 1st? There's normally quite an eclectic mix of cars, it starts from 10am and they do a decent breakfast: http://www.thedepartureloungecafe.co.uk/classic-car-sunday/

Interesting video celebrating and exploring the Ghibli II. It's in French, but easy enough to turn automatic subtitles on in YouTube:

The past couple of months I've been busy creating replica Ghibli (Cup, GT, etc.) wheel centre caps. As I've been looking for new caps for over 8 years and they're simply no longer in production and impossible to find. Even Maserati Classiche can't help. I used an original cap as a base. Then I...

OK, so I've been looking for new Ghibli wheel centre caps for around 7 years and found little to nothing. Although, I did manage to get hold of original transfers from Italy. I approached Maserati Legacy & Classic a few months ago about reproducing them, but heard nothing back. Similar with...

Well, I put my GT on Fleabay. To test the water as much as anything. And now Car and Classic have been on the phone to get me to put it into one of their upcoming auctions. I've had the car since 2015 and really enjoy it, but an Alfa GTV 916 (the 3 litre 24v Busso) project is due to be finished...

The door hinge on my Ghibli is worn and showing its age a bit. Does anyone have any experience of trying to source such a part? Or better still, does anyone have a spare knocking about they'd part with for some folding? It's driver's side (in a LHD car). Thanks.

As the title says really. I need a new compressor, but don't have a part number, just digging around to get some more info, or maybe someone even has one knocking about?! Thanks.

Just booked tickets for this. The Mrs and I went a couple of years running before Covid hit and thoroughly enjoyed it. The racing is usually highly entertaining. Is anyone else planning to go this year? Would be good to park Maseratis from the forum (like previous years) together if possible...

Am selling this if anyone is interested, Ghibli II owner's manual in Italian but the diagrams and pictures make it pretty self explanatory, new old stock: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144488535385
