A few pics of my 456 GTA

Phil,

Well done pal. Car looks great and I'm so green...I think the 456 is a steal at the moment and you got there just in time.

Cheers Pete my 4200 is going to be a steal as I think the 456 is not going to be a cheap lady to keep.

Beautiful colour combination!

I would be really interested in your comparison between the Masser and the 456. I briefly contemplated trading my 3200 for one of these but couldn't justify the significany expense over mine for similar styling and performance.

Neil I havee only done 300 miles in her so far totally different car to the 4200 which I think is a raw road race car and have loved every moment even with the early f1 box and the 456 is grown up auto but that's what I know want.

I really like them, so many for sale at such low mileage.
I think the only detail that dates them are the wheels, they look small, maybe it's a photo thing and they look correct 'in the flesh'?

 

[philw696]

Miles the wheels being 17s do look small but as she is unmolested I'm going to keep her that way.

If Phil has inspired you towards 456 ownership, this looks like a very nice example...

Oh JP that is jaw achingly pristine.... just 7,000 miles is not even run in yet!

That is going to make someone a very happy fella...

A bit like my 4200 I bought late last year, had only done 11.5k miles with two owners. Don't think it had seen a winter the suspension still has the gold coloured plating.

Yes, the odd low mileage car pops up occasionally....lovely to see!

HOW MUCH?........ That is a very select audience they're aiming at. Best of luck to them!

Or you could have this for the same money...

That is a lot of pennies.....I get the low miles etc but surely it will need a good going over as things perish...Saying that it says its been service every year.....So that 400 miles must be to and from the dealer maybe...

[Andrea]

She looks lovely, you'll get great enjoyment out of her smile with every mile

 

[philw696]

Well interesting today Miranda my partner wont drive the 4200 but she drove the 456 saying she was nervous but couldn't get her out of the drivers seat.

 

[dem maser]

Haha lovely......mine bugs me to drive the maserati but i wont let her

 

[philw696]

Dem because the 456 is a full auto its so easy to drive and although she claims to not be a petrol head she liked the power under her control.

 

[Parisien]

So when are you getting a dog collar and leash Phil..........
