Morning gents. Having owned my GS for just over a year I have made the (bloody hard!) decision to let her go. Is been fantastic and I have loved every minute, however, I have decided on a slight change of tack...
I have just picked up a 1985 Ferrari 400i. And its a 3 spd auto. Just to be even more controversial!
I live and work in central London. And the GS sits in her garage all week until I get a 20 miles or so blast out of town at the weekend. With road tax, insurance, servicing, depreciation I just can't justify the costs for 3k miles a year. However, the 400i cost less than half the maser. being a classic means depreciation is zero. Road tax, and insurance are less than 1/3 the cost. And I have myself a nice little project!
Most important that v12 is descended from the Daytona. Noise is epic! And I love the shape. Pictures to follow.
I am somewhat of a silent member. But I have valued this site enormously. I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the ace around Xmas time and I would like to say what a pleasure it was. Everyone was most welcoming and it was a real pleasure to come down.
I haven't put my car up for sale yet... I am in no rush. But she is an 08 gransport LE. Black, with black interior and interestingly, blue stitching. Only 10,200 miles. Absolutely mint. She lives in a garage. And has only had main dealer service. I bought her from Stratstone in jan 11 with 6,600miles and persuaded them to chuck 4 tyres and a new clutch in with the major service. Just had Egham service her and do all fluids.
If anyone is interested before then please do drop me a line and I am open to sensible offers.
Many thanks. Ben
