[GeoffCapes]

I love that!

Probably a genuine car, but lacking some TLC, never a good sign when the spin on oil filter is rusty though.

I hope the owner's other Maseratis are in better condition. If I were a real collector, I would be ashamed to keep such a nice car in this abandoned state.

 

[Kincath]

The bulkhead is bad for going on these.

 

[allandwf]

Hmmm, not for me. Rarity on its side though.

 

[Oneball]

If Victor Hugo did unicorns.

Did they ever do 0 -60 in 4.8 seconds ?

Did they ever do 0 -60 in 4.8 seconds ?

The press cars did. Once, usually.

The patina appears to have overtaken the car...

 

[general_piffle]

Well, that didn't go to plan. I think the auction hit about 12k then it's been withdrawn (reserve probably not met) and put on at 24.8k but open to offers. I'd have thought for whoever buys it, another 10 to 15k for a refurb/restore would be sensible to budget for. Maybe, not straight away but certainly soon.

You could spend a few ££££ on that looks like it's been kept in a damp environment.
Dosent that sump look vulnerable too.
