    Admirer of Wimbledon Common MC Stradale

    If you are the owner of the MC Stradale on Wimbledon common, it makes my evening run all the better. When I sold my QP GTS I intended on getting the MC but ended up in an Aston Martin V12V manual. If you want to sample the AM then I would be intrigued to take a spin in the MC

    MC Grancabrio - anyone know this car

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows this car or has been to see it? It’s been on for quite a while with regular price cuts but seems clean from an advert perspective? I just found a great car on Auto Trader: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201903236203003

    QPV GTS for sale

    Hi, After 8 glorious months of ownership I’m looking to sell my QPV GTS 4.7 2010. It’s got 73k on the clock. It’s quite a rare colour combo in grey with cream leather interior.

    Make me see sense

    I am erring from my ways like a lost sheep; I’ve been considering upgrading from my QPVGTS to a MC Stradale but my eye has been caught by an Aston martin manual Vantage V12. Anyone else suffered this affliction and followed through or otherwise? I feel bad for even thinking about leaving Maserati

    Sport mode not working

    Weird. My wife drove my QPV GTS the other week and said it lost it’s power steering, flashing dash lights etc but turned it off and on again and all okay. People on here suggested slipping aux belt perhaps as the culprit. Just driven it now and noticed the date and time had reset ie I had to...

    Stradale with black and white interior

    Noticed a new Stradale up for sale today and it has black leather with white alcantara. Anyone seen something like this in the flesh. Seems quite interesting but can imagine the white alcantara being a nightmare to keep clean? Leather seems okay to clean but never had alcantara. Here’s a...

    How many miles are the engines good for?

    I know this is a vague question but I ask because last year I bought a stunning QPV GTS with 72k on the clock. The car is in great condition and the thrill it offers is imcomparable for the price. I would love to keep it as long as possible and will only do 3k miles a year but does anyone have a...

    Leather repair - London

    Hi, I have a QPV which I foolishly let my wife use with the kids. My boy kindly rubbed the leather off (see picture). Does anyone have any pointers for who might fix this in the London area? I’ve tried googling but not much joy. Also, does anyone know whether the tray comes out separately or...

    Thinking of a Granturismo MC Stradale

    Hi everyone. I currently have a QPV GTS which was my first experience of Maserati and needless to say, I love it but am considering a Granturismo.

    Rear heated screen QPV

    Hi - has anyone had one of these replaced / fixed? Joys of buying a new car in summer and then getting some cold weather and find out it’s not working. Had it checked and confirmed new screen required which I’m guessing will be a small fortune!! Any advice appreciated. Cheers
